    I’m the lead UI developer for one of Europe’s biggest fintech firms, and we’re up from #4 back before I got there (many factors in that, so okay, but the UI update added to our success). I’m reviewing quite a few CVs lately looking for Angular FE devs and honestly, an attitude like that won’t even get you in the first round.

    This discussion started because I said many FE devs don’t develop with HTML in mind - it’s all divs and js. Or they rely heavily upon a framework to do that for them. I just passed on someone in the third round because I asked for a lightweight modal with esc exit, background and focus, and they wheeled out this whole system using prime ng and p-modals, where just using the <dialog> element would have worked.

    To be fair, they also argued that using their method would have been faster and more consistent. That’s a person who relies on toolkits instead of understanding their existing tools has depth.

    May I suggest, don’t be that guy. But in 3 years I retire to an island to never have these arguments again, so what do I care? Don’t listen to anyone else - be my guest.

    Just to change the vibe.

    Not a sovcit, but they do have a point in saying "fuck you" to the authority.

    No they don’t. Fighting “authority” for the sake of it stupid and meaningless because it’s so vague it’s dangerous. You fight the injustice or the lack of transparency, but what you prescribe as “authority” could be anything from schools that educate to laws that protect to support of groups you don’t belong to.

    If you said “Authoritarianism”, you’d have a point.

    Or, it could be Susan. They know about the Tardis, and they’ve been pretty passive about interactions with the doctor or Ruby. And unlike a lot of people on other forums, not making tea is not necessarily evil. It’s rude, but it’s not evil.

    But if you think about it, millennials could be pushing a dialogue in popular media that Boeing is part of the big industrial war machine, and deserves to die. I’ve heard lesser fabricated arguments on the Internet.

    Genuinely true: Knew a guy in our expat group who had a really unique conspiracy theory: those electric windmills you see? He though you’d need constantly gale force winds to move the blades an inch, so he was pushing this theory that they’re secretly there to consume excess electricity, basically burning it off, to keep energy/oil high. Psycho.

    Makes sense. Highest voter turnout since 1989, voting for Europe and the Green Party/ D66 Liberal Democrats. Left party strong win - so of course non-Dutch media will say there’s a horse race.

    It’s Electrek. If they ever wanted to verify claims, they’d be out of the Tesla business years ago.

    We’re sorely tempted to convert our 2 old Specialized mountain bikes with the 100G Geeko rear wheels. Hear good things about them, and we can’t do more than 250W motors as we live in Europe. Still - €700 to make the €2000 bike electric and not noticeably so is tempting. Ebikes have meant no one looks to steal my stumpjumper e4 any more… yay(..?)
