Others have been coming out and talking about similar experiences with React Native. This thread made the rounds on Twitter and Medium fairly recently:
If there's a place that has sucked up most of the conversation, it would be Twitter.
The conversations on Twitter are unfortunately not of the same fidelity as the ones on a traditional forum where you can actually compose full thoughts.
Perhaps it's better to say that Twitter has sucked up most of the attention of those same people.
Subtle distinction but huge difference imo because I can't go follow those same people on Twitter and expect the same type of conversation as they would have made on HN.
Yeah for me it was not worth it at all. I was prescribed in High School through College but I stopped taking them in College because I turned into a irritable zombie. No amount of productivity boost is worth the emotional and physical damage that stuff does to you.
Also Exercise and Diet helped far more in the long run.
You should do an AMA here in this thread about the industry!
I'll start. What are some common misconceptions about the industry in general and what do you think about the accuracy of the article and how it paints the industry?
That's the problem though. It's not about you. It's about the average user who doesn't understand all the implications of actions he/she is asked to take or permissions he/she is asked to give to a third party.
It's not about "us" the HN readers. It's about everyone else, and that's what's scary.
Just because I'm a really good driver doesn't mean I won't get into a car crash.
It moves the industry forward? Also having the empathy to recognize that if you've built your success on top of free tools then it bodes well to contribute back to that same community that enabled your success. Think of it like an Alumni network.
