I think you'd be surprised at how non-white males are treated in the Deep Red, is again my point.

My point was simply to illustrate that "I'd feel more comfortable talking about my views in the Deep Red" is a statement only a White (probably) Male would say.

I would feel 10x more comfortable sharing my liberal viewpoints in a small, deeply-red town than I would insinuating something anything less than 100% left-leaning at work here.

Serious question: are you white?

You've missed the point.

FBI can rob you at gunpoint because people get robbed at gunpoint all the time.

I think painting the picture that the author is "this kind of dev" is just as high-horsish as writing a blog post kicking and screaming about why scrum is terrible. I've worked in both settings, sometimes POs are insanely condescending and overbearing, sometimes they're great. Neither yours nor OPs opinions are unanimous to the industry.

Plus, that's kinda the point of blogging. If you want to kick and scream, the internet will totally let you.

Someday something won't suck. I'll wait to learn anything till then, to make sure I didn't learn something that sucks.

You have clearly missed my point. :-)

The "We expect you to do this work for free to prove your worth to the company" interview model tells a lot about the company, in my opinion. If they'll ask you to do it once, they'll ask it a thousand times.

Do you have a source for this? I can only find posts from several years ago saying Tumblr will soon be profitable.

From what I can tell, the only reason to use React/Redux over Elm is to have a more popular resume. This is not a criticism, just an observation.

This comment is very unempathetic. You're taking a very strong "if you don't agree with me you are stupid" approach, which is pretty much the exact opposite of empathy.

Also, most of the things that you've said are entirely subjective. You're stating your own opinions as fact, which most of us (me) would say is something a stupid, unempathetic person would do.

I've known minorities who got more in free financial assistance in terms of loans and grants than the middle class white kids, and they had a much easier time affording college when it came down to funding due to the abundance of loans and grants for those who met the low-income and minority criteria.

Are you unable to recognize that your experiences may not be in line with everyone else's?

I do not buy the crap or the "poor me, poor me!" sob stories about how minorities are so disadvantaged when they had a HUGE advantage over me, and were better off than middle class kids when it came to college funding.

Again, you're an edge case. "I had it rough so clearly there isn't an issue with racial minorities getting through college." This is a really close-minded thought process.

Oh and we're not talking community college or state university, we're talking the most difficult of all scenarios: a private university where your yearly tuition (just tuition) was just under 30k per year at the time, it is now over 36k.

My first thought would be "Why this guy complaining about how hard he has it and then going to an expensive, over priced school?"

I was 100% on my own in all respects, it sucked but hard work and smart decisions paid off for me.

Nobody is saying you didn't work hard or make good choices. Nobody is saying ethnic minorities can avoid working hard or making good choices. The point is that simply working hard and making good choices is not enough (hence the whole point of this article).

No, but simply "working hard" guarantees nothing.

My hometown didn't have sidewalks. My house was a long and extremely unsafe walk away from anything of value, and my mother worked insane hours. When she finally caved and got dial up, I remember everything changed very aggressively. There was no longer a physical barrier between me and new information or new people. I could be stuck in my isolated home and still have hours of things to do. Sometimes I think the people that say things like "I wish we could go back to before everyone had the internet" never lived in an area where, without the internet, you never really had anything to begin with.

This looks great. I've always just used the command line for Postgres because I never liked PG Admin. I am hopeful I'll have a better experience here.

I'm not the hippest with the newest front-end libraries, but doesn't Webpack replace Bower? And also Gulp?

But, from the article, they're talking about the tech industry. You work in the finance industry.

ReactJS has slaughtered the front-end market share (in a good way)

No, it hasn't

simplistic component based approach.

"Simplistic"

Unlike React, Google does not really treat Angular as a first-class citizen because they have such split focus and conflicting React like library for web components called Polymer. They provide some resources, but nowhere near the amount of resources that Facebook throws behind React and React Native.

Facebook does one thing. Google does many things.

Forgive my ignorance, but can you not just use the Python RethinkDB driver? Or does it have to be Django specific?

And 'undefined is not a function' provides a full stack trace to the line of code causing the error. In this particular example, both planes crash, so it's not like anyone would say "But at least it crashed because of a seg fault."

Get off your high horse. What a ridiculous and ignorant comment.

I hope I'm not being nitpicky, but Rails is a back-end framework, and (most likely) some of the Javascript frameworks you're talking about are also back-end frameworks.

My father just started a consulting company relating to logistics, he has 20 years experience in high volume transport. Would you be interested in speaking with him? I can shoot him an email to see if he'd be interested in working with you.

Just a thought.

Mail a HD.

React Native was announced at React Conf in January.

Other commenters disagree with your dad and your second statement.

I did not know whether asking explicitly would be frowned upon or something. I'll just ask, that'll simplify everything.
