Thats a very flippant comment.

So true:

' I talk to a lot of JavaScript devs and I find it really interesting that the ones who spend the most time in Angular tend to not know JavaScript nearly as well. I don't want that to be me or our devs. Why should we write "not JavaScript?" '

You mean like going to the super market without having a shopping list, buying everything that attracts your attention which all goes out of date in your fridge because you forgot you had all that food and not having any time to plan your house hold duties?

I just had a crazy brain fart, what if bitTorrent and bitcoin had a child?

Yes, one of the best postmortems, especially the technical part.

Am sure it was simple but curious to know what the replacement substr code is.

Hi Alan,

Thank you for spending some of your time here and writing your thoughts.

I would like to ask you for some advice.

The idiom "Everything old is new again" is currently picking up steam, especially in the hardware and software scene.

Amazing stuff is happening but it is being drowned in the mass pursuit of profit for mediocrity in both product and experience.

What would you say to those who are creating wonderful (and mostly educational) machines but finding it difficult to continue due to constraints and demands of modern life?

Most don't have the privilege to work at a modern day Xerox PARC. Then again there is no modern day Xerox PARC.

Thanks for all the inspiration!

"The problem I have with PHP has nothing to do with the language, it’s its reputation. I can’t count the times I’ve started a conversation with a programmer who upon finding out I primarily do PHP got awkward with me."

The HN post title is sure helping with the reputation.

So wait... you still get the "cmd.exe console"? After all these decades Microsoft Windows still does not provide a decent terminal out of the box?

I just went through the lessons and all the code compiled and worked as expected. Nice and simple. As things should be.

Thank you for posting this online.

Most people are commenting about to use a framework or not.

The hard part is choosing which framework to use when you have so many to choose from.

How do you do that? The simple answer of using the most popular one is moot since we would all be using wordpress if it was about CMSs...

"Frameworks limit your scope of creativity" - I get that.
