What do you propose as an alternative?

As a js dev for 6 years now, and having conducted hundreds of interviews, I would say it is not necessary for a junior developer and most of the things they'd be doing.

However, when it comes to a mid or senior level engineer, it's important not to just make things work, but to understand the how and why in order to build performant applications at scale.

So to answer your question, no it's not a necessity to build applications. Yes, it is if you want to excel at building applications.

This could also be due to a poor implementation of event listeners for scrolling, e.g. not throttling, which isn't necessarily a React issue.

I went to school at All-Saints there in Vicksburg, small world! Yes, there is definitely a stereotype in the south towards yankees (which is pretty much anyone not from the south as you alluded). I just expected more from highly educated folks with a wider world view in NYC.

100% agree. It's become so commonplace to stereotype southerners in a particular way in the media and by Hollywood. I live in NYC now and have to deal with constant judgement whenever I mention I'm from Alabama. The most ironic thing is that it's typically from the "tolerant" left.

Benefits. Benefits can cost up to 50% more on top of salary per employee, sometimes even more. The government requires full-time employees to be covered by health insurance for example. So if you switch to contractors you can save a great deal on this cost.

Don't know why you're being downvoted. This has worked well in Singapore as well. PR already moving in that direction too: if you claim full-time residency or incorporate there (183 days/yr), US citizens can avoid paying lots of different types of taxes [1]

Your grandfather owned the land. These people do not.

This is the correct answer, I don't know why you're being downvoted. This would cause people to either (a) leave the country or (b) work until they made their 395k and then stop working for the year.

It's actually quite terrifying that people would advocate for taking up to 90% of someone's income. We need to work on solving inequality but this simply isn't the answer.

Edit: It's also important to remember that taking more money away from the rich, and feeding it into an already broken and inefficient system (our government) does not equate to lifting people out of poverty.

I was there from 2012-2015. If I remember correctly, they were rolled into the Adventures platform which was later shut down as mentioned in the article.

This is a full blown advertisement for cosmic.js (which also happens to be down). Although I like the idea of the service, I hate the misleading title/article. And the fact that the service is down doesn't make it any more attractive.

Stamplay has been awesome for me as a front-end dev to get things up and running quickly. Rails is great as well, esp if SEO is a consideration.

> What good is a billion dollar startup if it pays little US tax?

Your line of thought implies that the only way a company can add value to the economy is through employment and taxes. You only need to look for a couple seconds at the mess in DC to glimpse how much money from taxes is wasted, not to mention allocated towards ethically questionable activities (drones, domestic spying, wars, etc). That's for another conversation.

In the case of airbnb, you are taking money from larger more established corporations (hotel chains) and giving it to homeowners who have a spare bedroom or are away for the weekend. You are also providing a wider range of pricing options for consumers. So the company contributes to the economy in those ways as well, not just through employment and taxes.

> Also, a lot of these tech companies that are "shaking up" industries are profitable at the expense of other more traditional businesses

These companies take business from traditional companies because they provide more value. Keep in mind the whole point of a company to fulfill a need. I would say that it's not really up to you or anyone other than consumers to decide if it's a good thing or not that these companies succeed. Competition is always a good thing for consumers.

In chrome you can just open up dev tools, select an iphone emulator (6+ if you want the biggest screen), and refresh.

I think he's asking what to use on the front-end. The author of these tutorials (at least from what I've watched so far) uses axios: https://github.com/mzabriskie/axios

hmm, this brings a completely new meaning to the phrase 'circle jerk'

Totally agree. That style guide has changed the way I write Angular apps completely, and it feels so much cleaner.

Yeah, I presumed I wasn't the first under the sun to do it; just thought it would be interesting to write about since some of my fellow front-enders hadn't seen the technique and google didn't turn up either of those links :)

Just for the record, the data and arrangement of the data in the blog post is completely contrived.

Yeah, I wanted to focus on using pseudo elements to pull content in from data-attrs but obviously I could/should have gone into more detail on the other bits and pieces. Thanks for the suggestion.

It's definitely not for every scenario. It will depend on your data, whether or not you need sorting as you mentioned, and how many total rows there are in the table (card effect becomes too much after 20 or so). However for this simple use case, we thought it the best way to go.

I linked to that post in the in the article and mentioned the reasons it was slightly different but built upon that idea. He throws his content in the stylesheets.

TM took over back in the late 80's as the underdog because they made the great business decision to give venues a cut of the pie as opposed to charging venues for their services - which is what their competitors did at the time.

They quickly took demolished the competition and began setting up long term contracts, usually between 3 and 10 years with each venue.

Then, in 2010 they merged with LiveNation who owns a vast majority of some of the nations largest, most popular venues.

Major artists' managers and promoters all have close ties to TM/LiveNation as well, because it's where the money is. So when Taylor Swift goes on tour, these folks make sure they hit a TM venue at each stop along the way.

That's just the tip of the iceberg, but you get the gist.
