While I agree with the principle of "clean markup", whenever I open up the DOM of websites I did not create (and I do so with regular frequency), I generally do not see what I'd consider clean. The author is correct but it's not that frequent of a practice; I wish it were so. Care for our craft is an uncommon thing.

react-query's useQuery hook makes the proper data sharing and optimistic updates a breeze.

Leaders have a responsibility to ensure their teams deliver. When the teams agree to async communication --and the channels remain silent-- where is the accountability when there is no deliverable and no visibility into the scenario that led to no output? To be clear, this doesn't mean 100% sync. But a 10 minute daily sync can ensure the team is focused on producing something of business value. Maximal autonomy within some guardrails keeps the ICs and management at their best.

Most lived experiences with off-shore talent are due to labor costs. There are great offshore engineers but many work for companies who aren't hiring at the top end of the local market: they're hiring off-shore to save. You get what you pay for. And that leads to impressions, even if incorrect ones.

We're at the point where many newer engineers haven't had real hands-on DOM experience but are expected to deliver applications built in React. You need to know at least one level abstraction below your current one to use the tool effectively. This all tracks with how the industry's changed, how we hire, how we train, and so on.

Some part of the process -- anywhere from specs to assembly-- had some cost cutting that led to the outcome. The root cause of this problem is something financially motivated.

It works because they have AWS. If the entirety of the business was only the consumer site, it's looking more and more like Wish with each passing day.

We did have high inflation for a year, and were told it was temporary, before tools were deployed. Would a sustained period of deflation be met with a similarly lagged response?

Disappointment in the permanent increases in prices. All else equal, people want deflation after a period of elevated inflation levels.

This is reasonable, but the problem I encounter is how stifling it seems to ask others to structure their work so specifically. By way of comparison, getting compliance on conventional commit messages is a challenge, and that's an appreciably smaller ask than this.
