New comment by trias in "Hooks are the best thing to happen to React"

trias — Sat, 23 Oct 2021 14:11:23 +0000

To me React hooks look like they want to be a different programming language while still using js-syntax. It would be great if "useState", "useMemo" and the like would be first class citizens in a PL.

Hooks as they are have some non-obvious rules which can make them hard to understand / learn. Also debugging is not great (but that's true for react in general, imo)

when you have 4.3 billion years to choose from but decide for 1900.

I agree totally. It matches my learnings in my career as well. But how much slack is the right amount? What do you think?

I've made the opposite experience (in germany). No company will ever fire anyone. If they really need to, they give you a generous leaving package. The only exception is if the company going bankrupt, in which case the state might help (Kurzarbeit or bail out).

sounds like we are working at the same company ;)

Good to see that this approach seems to be working for you, i wish you the best.

sounds like an ideology lock-in. Let's hope you never get a problem which does not fit your current architecture well, or else you'll end up spending weeks or even months solving an otherwise trivial problem.

I've worked with "configuration-based implementations" and in my experience they are hard to work with (no debugging, incomplete documentation and implementation, little flexibility), require an staggering amount of infrastructure, are hard to test and will approach a programming language over time.

trias — Sat, 22 Aug 2020 00:24:01 +0000

that's an unusual style of communication. You are coworkers. If you don't know the answer immediately, say it.

Consider too, that i might be blocked as long as i don't have an answer.

I dont expect an immediate reply, just within reasonable time. I i've made the experience that a question you ask upfront simply gets ignored and then forgotten.

trias — Fri, 21 Aug 2020 23:57:29 +0000

if you write "hello" and they answer "hello", they are under some social obligation to answer rather promptly, whereas if you write your question first, it may simply get ignored. So I tend to write a short hello first.

possibly some other social factors at play here, but still, my experience.

At some point you start believing your own lies so he probably thought everything would be fine and the markets would be calmed with another auditor confirming the results.
