I know I'm not the first (or last) to do this but I was interested in how Markov Chains work so I decided to create a simple Twitter Bot that submits generated HN titles.
This is why people got upset about the original post from Zed. One dude whining in a blog does not equal mass dissent in the community. The choice is inconsequential for 99% of programmers and hardly a difficult decision - flip a damn coin if you cannot decide. I make 100x more decisions when it comes to front-end development than I ever have with python 2 vs 3.
I was curious how much altitude would affect aging so I did a quick google search. "The atomic clock calculated that for every 12 inches of elevation, 90 billionths of a second are added to a lifetime (79 years)"
In fairness you definitely do not need everything listed here to have a perfectly fine web app. I think it's more beneficial to add in things when you find a use case for it. You probably don't need 3 unit testing libraries, you don't need Redux to use React, nor do you need Immutable to use Redux.
Django + React is an awesome combination that I recommend taking a look at. This repo is a good starting point but you can probably get rid of half of the dependencies if you aren't working on a team of developers.
I am currently using Django + React on a personal project and took a slightly different route, no pun intended. Rather than using react router, as I never really liked client side routing, I use Django views to hydrate all the necessary props for the page and have a base template that loads the React component with the props. Since each page / component is fairly self-contained I also decided against using any Redux / Flux implementations. Furthermore, it only takes a few hours of work to get server side rendering up and running thanks to react + node.
There's rumors it's related to a pending charge for grooming of a minor online, who knows though. I'm sure we will find out the real reason in the next few days so I'll wait for that rather than go into full tinfoil hat conspiracy theory territory.
Reminds me when my boss got pissed at me because we were discussing moving all deployments to production after 5pm and I replied something along the line "I'm not going to be on the hook after hours to fix problems other people caused".
