> WeWork pays 100 units for commercial real-estate and flips it for 90 units
Not from what I can see ... they charge their clients enough to cover the location. Individual locations are (barely) profitable, the losses are coming from massive expansion and leasing new places.
Maybe I'm wrong on that. Either way this seems like an epic fail, but they are not "paying for 100 flipping for 90".
> This is yet another JavaScript paradigm to learn. For the record, I am a 49-year-old React fanboy. I am a freelancer and use other frameworks apart from React, and this gives me fatigue.
Amen to that. The fact that still are in "here's a 'better' idea, let's try this" landscape in JavaScript is depressing.
I no longer jump on these new frameworks when the bandwagon flies by. I ignore postings for jobs saying they are rewriting their system in "new Framework Y!". I don't care how "pure" your new design is, I care about having it work well in the trenches.
You are the types of people who are slowly destroying the internet, nice work.
