Is unknowingly transmitting a disease that could kill someone you love (or even that you don't) without your knowledge not scary to you? Great, you have a healthy family and friends. What happens when one of those friends or family members isn't as healthy as they were the last time they caught covid? Still seems pretty scary to me.

This seems a little farfetched, no?

The numbers are close enough to be meaningless, as is the benchmark. Your users won't be able to read 10 rows in the difference in time it is from react to vue's rendered rows, much less 10,000...

I'm sorry to hear that this is the way things are for you. I've never worked at a company with this kind of culture, and would leave one in an instant. This is disgusting, and shouldn't be the way things are.

I'm not sure what code completion you're using, but if it's contextual, I'm very lost as to how typing a ridiculously long name would be faster than auto completing it. Especially since once you're used to the auto complete, you can basically use shortcuts for specific things you're using in that context a lot. "BindingOperations.EnableCollectionSynchronization()?" oh, that's "bop.ecs". There should be very few options to pick from unless everything is very similarly named...

Go to definition is insanely useful. Just because you "write good software," and are able to put everything in exactly the correct place, and find everything without it, doesn't mean that everyone else does, or the guy next to you does, or that you aren't wasting your time by not using it. Go to definition isn't just for multiple inheritance hierarchies. It can be as simple as getting to another method in the same file 50 lines away, or to a child class's method which is in exactly the right spot, and you'd be easily able to find. It's not about where it takes you, it's about the speed at which it takes you there. You press one button and you're back to getting through the control flow of the code without interrupting your thought process by having to search for a method. Press another button and you're back to where that method ends. Yes, you don't need it, but the speed that it offers you is invaluable a lot of times.

Maybe, you know, actual conversation? This woman is saying that whenever a VC says something she doesn't like, she gets up and leaves, and says "Sorry, I don't think this will be a 'good fit'." Then she tells the VCs it's their fault for saying something she didn't like - in a blog post?

What a ridiculous situation to even be considering talking about, yet here we are.

Absolutely this. I just started learning React a few days ago, and I absolutely would not have given it a chance with all those React.createElements. That looks like hell.

Have you ever written, debugged, tested, and deployed a mobile app solely from a smartphone? That's the point he was making. They're unequal in that the apps on them can't be made by them.
