vmware505··on Yelp Fired Manager After He Didn't Take Calls, Check Email 24/7, Lawsuit Claims
You guys should come to New Zealand... working outside of your work hours is not cool here. More and more companies expect only 37 hours per week... a new trend is 4 days workweeks.

Nobody checking their email or phone after work... Ridiculous.

vmware505··on Making SetInterval Declarative with React Hooks
I have the same feeling. I would prefer to use classes rather than functions. More natural and nicely work with Typescript.

Luckily React is only a library and it is up to you how do you use it. I got used to working with classes and objects. For bigger and serious project I prefer Ember.js, which is modern and easy to pick up (https://yoember.com), but for some tiny project React is also a good choice with Typescript.

I guess hooks is a good option for devs who prefer functional programming.
