Yeah, the ratio of "words in blogposts" to "LOC in public repos" is way out whack.

New comment by mjbellantoni in "React is now effectively part of the Rails stack"

mjbellantoni — Wed, 18 Aug 2021 22:45:26 +0000

Author here. In the article there's some evidence that Ember is still at least talked a lot about in Rails job posts. Maybe I'll look into that more the next time I do this kind of digging.

Personally, I made a couple of attempts to learn Ember. Though it was well documented and looked great, I just bounced off of it both times. And I never had an urgent need for it, so...I eventually found Stimulus easier to pick up.

New comment by mjbellantoni in "More than 75% of Job Posts are Remote"

mjbellantoni — Fri, 13 Aug 2021 14:04:24 +0000

Remote is definitely a spectrum. On one end there's "you can be anywhere on the planet" to "you can work from home but we expect you to live in this city or state."

Employers know that remote is appealing to devs, so they're eager to claim they're remote employers. As folks elsewhere have said, read the fine print and get commitments in writing if needed.

mjbellantoni — Tue, 12 Jan 2021 16:02:44 +0000

For coding or any other project, I keep a running note called "Where I Was." Before putting down the project, I add a timestamped note that's as detailed as it needs to be. I find that this helps swap back context quickly, and it also has the benefit, for me, of swapping the project out! Clearing my mind like this helps me focus more on whatever I'm picking up, too.

Is there a bug in the line computing Motive[mHappyWeek]? It seems like it should have Motive[mHappyDay] instead of Motive[mHappyNow] on the right hand side.
