christopherscot··on Mitochondria Are More Than Powerhouses–They're the Motherboard of the Cell
> Sometimes I wonder if we are really equipped to navigate it and understand it. Maybe AI/computation is really the only way to try to have a holistic view of the complexities. Perhaps trying to understand biology with our biological brain has inherent limitations like a piece of software trying to understand the hardware it resides in.

This is a fascinating thought.

christopherscot··on Webpack 5: Module Federation. A Game-changer to JavaScript architecture
Fair enough, not my article though. Here's the original proposal for webpack on github:

Merge Proposal: Module federation and code sharing between bundles. Many builds act as one #10352

Legends is better anyway ya'll ;)
christopherscot··on Introducing Hooks
In my experience classes are one of the few boring, easily understood parts of react for almost everyone I mentor/work with.
christopherscot··on Introducing Hooks
I had this thought as well. Ironic isn’t it, given that the main reason for hooks is that “classes are hard”.
christopherscot··on Comparison of CSS in JavaScript Libraries for React
Here's another talk that illustrates some of the emerging thoughts around inline styles in React https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERB1TJBn32c

christopherscot··on Google Fiber’s Next Stop: Austin, Texas
born & raised in Austin, just might have to move back (from Silicon Valley) :)
christopherscot··on Unholy Rails: External Scripts, jQuery Plugins, and Page-Specific JavaScript
I'm suprised no mention of RequireJS...the part labeled "JavaScript’s Missing Directive" seems to be specifically gearing up for it.

Good overview though.

christopherscot··on Do Web Developers Ever Learn?
Agreed, also I think it's naive to assume it's always the developers fault when something like this happens. (In the 90's) more often than not it was some douchebag marketer clamouring about people 'leaving' their site and convincing management to open new windows for outbound links.

There's always been a divide between what developers encourage, and what clients ask for and want. This is one of the better arguments FOR developers creating javascript-heavy single page sites (for themselves, or demos)... if they had to rely on their clients they'd probably be years behind the curve.

omg thank you
christopherscot··on The innovations of Internet Explorer
This reminds me of a coworker who, although generally horrible at his job, despised by his colleagues, and only really concerned about his next pay raise would - on occasion - remind us that HE was the one who wrote a small piece of critical software we still used to this day.
christopherscot··on WebRTC is almost here, and it will change the web
which should make it about 2016 when we can use it in IE
christopherscot··on Why Files Exist
Instantly reminds me of coworkers' desktop filled with icons and documents
