Truth of the matter is Ryan Dahl is a suboptimal CEO. Being able to build good open source software does not have a strong correlation with being able to build a successful business.

Redux should not be used for 1 person projects. If you need redux you'll know it because there will be complexity that is hard to handle. Personally I use a custom state management system that loosely resembles RecoilJS.

+1 for specialization, in my experience working on a fullstack team is significantly more painful than having a specialized role. Of course it’s partially because you have to learn a bunch of stuff, but I’ve also found that fullstack teams tend to have poor planning, e.g. it’s structured as fullstack to constantly fill gaps in a not well defined project / roadmap. Fullstack is good experience if you want to do your own projects / startup, but not a peaceful job.

For those asking why this is useful:

Mac mini's without a monitor hooked up can only display at a certain aspect ratio while remote screen sharing. The typical solution is to use a dummy hdmi plug (~$10) plus an app like SwitchResX (~$20) to support custom screen resolutions.

If OP's app works as described, then this is a free software solution to a $30 problem.

It's as evil as you think the centralized authority is now or will be in the future. Some will also argue any entity having complete power over your life is inherently evil.

Agreed, I recently used Hired and TripleByte. Hired gave me 2-3x more leads, and they were on avg much higher quality.

$70/month is definitely too cheap if it delivers what it promises. Unity3D is similar in concept but for games and charges $0/yr/seat, $400/yr/seat or $1800/yr/seat depending on how much your company makes.

TypeScript, JSX and TSX Support

It doesn't seem like Sublime ships with the Typescript language server by default, not sure if I'd call syntax highlighting as support.

Does anyone still choose Sublime over VS Code? I wonder what plugins I'd miss from a frontend dev perspective.

While the premise of the article is sickening, I'd take opinion articles from WSJ with a big grain of salt. Their general reporting tends to be somewhat neutral, but their opinion articles tend to be invasively slanted and spun.
