I dont think theyre equally as bad. Its too tempting to try and go above and beyond for a take home coding challenge, end up spending days on it, and get zero feedback. I would much prefer an onsite or strictly timed test than a loose deadline homework problem

This begs the question of what the hell is the point of the bang convention e.g. find! in this case.

Oh my god stop being so dramatic, both of you. The vast majority of people are not actively contritubing to the sorry state of data privacy nor are they heroically working to fix it. Put the blame where its due.

Its a bad example because saying something is unlimited when its not is kind of bullshit not just semantics.

There are situations when I think its best to just go with the flow of how people are commonly using words but simply accepting what others say in a blanket sense is not right either. In the case of "serverless" it doesnt really matter much to me, but if you think of the word "gyp" for example thats something many people have had to make a conceited effort to stop using. So in some cases, with effort we can improve the language we use and not always be swimming against the tide.

These are still a great option if you want a concisely written and highly customized program. I think there's a reason we dont see such a big framework as rails gaining popularity in the node world and thats because people don't want their code hidden behind a big boilerplate. That being said rails is still the best ruby framework for an organization looking for something "safe" and generic.

I found using the coffeescript loader for webpack solves all these problems. You cant execute cs in the browser but you still can place breakpoints in the original code. The compilation to js is not novel anyway, its the same thing as we see with ESnext just on a bigger scale.

I think its likely that at some point in the future cs will get strong type support. Iirc the creator is opposed to it but theres interest from others.

Exactly. I'm glad to see people arent absolutely shitting on it here like they have been over the past year or two, which is when I started using it,

So if somebody worth 10x as much as shkreli offered 50k for a crime we should know its a joke? Also, what is funny about this? He is a chemist, so if anything saying that he needed it for his lab would make it note believable. The justice system in this country is very cold, and a lot of people get locked up.
