Yes! Every. Single. Time. Apollo Client is the closest thing I have used with that works decent out of the box.

I interviewed at FB and Amazon last summer and I asked how long people stay once they are hired. At both companies I was told the average tenure is about 1.5 - 2 years. That was a big yiiiiikes moment for me. People don't stick around long enough to get promoted.

Journalists know about metadata. You can be sure that editors of more reputable institutions absolutely require it before publishing anything.

Source I went to journalism school and worked in PR for years before I became a software developer.

So glad I see this sentiment on here. I am still blown away by HN readers inability to critically analyze news sources. If this was some research paper it would have been put under the microscope by HN readers.

I started doing the Fail and Success type pattern after learning about it in Elixir/FP world. Its been a lifesaver

Yep. I'm a slow tinkerer; mostly on the weekends for a couple hours at a time. Im trying to learn React Native and do the courses on fast.ai.

I have a hard time motivating myself to code after work if I think I won't be able to work on a project for at least a couple hours at a time. Its hard to do with a wife, friends, community stuff.

You are missing the point of the piece. The author is saying YouTube has the ability to not show content that is flat-out wrong and dangerous. The author is saying the same thing you are. The algorithms can be easily adjusted - but they wont be, because controversy = time on Youtube. They absolutely do not have to recommend content that would radicalize a man enough to take a rifle into a pizza parlor to free alleged child sex slaves.

This is not about setting the line about what is "offensive." this about taking responsibility for providing a huge platform for dangerous ideas to spread.

No Im not advocating for thought police but I really do think most would agree that platforms have to start taking responsibility for promoting QAnon style conspiracies and white-supremacist ideas.
