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.

I actually like classes and using "this". Maybe I just like Object Oriented style. :)

Super useful. The question is when this Api will be implemented in Chrome and Firefox?

New comment by vmware505 in "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.

Hence I prefer opinionated, convention over configuration solutions. It exists in Javascript world also. It called Ember.js. ;)

This free tutorial helped me to understand the concept behind the framework. Actually, I can adapt this knowledge to other work also. https://yoember.com

You mean they would use something else instead? Most of the project who use Ember, they love it, and they would not use other tool. For example Intercom in Dublin is a huge supporter of Ember.js and they are big fun of the framework.

If you have Ember Inspector in your Chrome, you can see it.

- Main TV Channel (Close to million user per day): https://www.tvnz.co.nz/ - Largest bank app (Half of the population using it): https://www.anz.co.nz/personal/ - Other bank: https://www.co-operativebank.co.nz/ - Christchurch's public transport website: http://www.metroinfo.co.nz/Pages/default.aspx - Ministry of Social Development web app (half million active user): https://my.msd.govt.nz/login - Election System app is not public.

It is one of the most commonly used framework in serious industry projects. For example in New Zealand so many important websites and services built with Ember. General Election system, nation wide Social Service tool, major banks web apps, main television website, second largest city public transport website, etc.

As I remember, there was not any mosquito in Dublin, Ireland and there is not any mosquito in Wellington, New Zealand. Move in these cities and you will have really nice dreams. ;)

New comment by vmware505 in "Ask HN: Why not more hiring of junior devs, then on-the-job-training?"

vmware505 — Thu, 22 Nov 2018 05:16:24 +0000

Never call yourself "junior", forget those "internship" jobs also. Just jump in and be a dev. Nobody will hire you if you call yourself unexperienced, but they will hire you if you solve problems and you can deliver the homework in good quality. So just be a normal dev. ;)
