Unfortunately, after learning TS, you realize how much worse untyped JS is, so you stick with TS forever.

Wie toll der vielgepriesene freie Markt funktioniert, sieht man daran, dass Reddit & Discord ihre #wallstreetbets-Foren wegen angeblicher "Hassrede" sperren, @TradeRepublicDE & @RobinhoodApp den Kauf von Gamestop-Aktien verbieten und die SEC über Marktmissbrauch schwadroniert.

Let's go! Super excited about @trivago being a sponsor for Preact 🙌🙌
One of my most important objectives for my last few months at trivago was to make sure that our Open Source initiative was in good hands. I am happy to say that it is in excellent hands now with a fantastic group of people driving and shaping it. tech.trivago.com/2021/01/25/…

One thing people don't seem to understand is most big companies are often structurally and inherently slow. It takes 2+ years for a team of 50 people at a big company to build what a highly motivated team of 3 badasses can do in 6 months. This is not an exaggeration.

A few days ago @tmcw wrote an excellent piece called 'Second guessing the modern web'. I wanted to offer a counterpoint to the conclusion he reaches (at least as I and others understood it): dev.to/richharris/in-defense… The tl;dr:

Developers during hackathon: We built an entire application in just 3 days. Developers after hackathon: Adding that icon is going to take 3 weeks.

React Hooks are cool, but they've only made simple cases easier. Everything else is probably harder.
