@Moser @shawnmoyer @thecaitcode I hope you're right. The last two years of high school were so intense, I let go of music completely and it nearly broke me. And now that I'm getting back to it, it's overwhelming. My fingers don't move like they used to. There's a lot of reconstruction. But i love it. So much.

Who got into tech without a CS degree and has interest in chatting about it?

@thecaitcode Self-taught, but started relatively young at around 14, mostly playing around with HTML and v early JS. Did two music degrees then reluctantly back to tech mid-20s for financial reasons. Had missed 5-10 years of progress at that point, so had to put in a lot of time to catch up!

If you’re a developer / software engineer of any kind, what was your degree in college (or did you not go to college?) I want to see the educational diversity of this field. I’ll start - I majored in Psychology.

@_juliantellez @dazneng BTW - you'd be proud of me, I've been learning terraform! We've finally got fabric running in AWS. Runs on every push, using fargate and parallelised ECS tasks for each test 😎

@deno_land It's amazing to see Deno using standard web APIs rather than trying to reinvent the wheel. The web APIs might not be perfect, but isomorphic JavaScript rules!

@BenLesh I've come across this behavior in RxJS a few times but never understood the reason behind it: jsfiddle.net/x653s9fd/1/ Can you explain why subscriberB receives emissions from source in non-chronological order?

First impressions after a couple of days working w/ #deno - Soo much horrible magic completely gone - Frequently referring to familiar moz docs due to implementation of standard browser APIs - TS transpilation/node compat issues a thing of the past. writing super modern JS. 🦕🎉

"...This design circumvents a plethora of complexity spawned by package management software, centralized code repositories, and superfluous file formats." - #deno is a masterclass on beautiful, minimalistic API design: deno.land/manual/linking… can't wait to try it out! @deno_land

@rauschma Dumb data containers are my favourite use for classes in typescript. Default values, getters for derived data, and a type for free.

TypeScript: class FileCounter { htmlFiles = 0; extractedImages = 0; copiedFiles = 0; } I started with an interface, but even as a “dumb” data container, a class is nicer because you can include initialization values.

@desandro I remember how exciting it was when a new DOM API came out that meant we could get rid of jQuery somewhere like classList or querySelector. These days people seem to get more exited about adding abstraction (like hooks) as long as it's in the name of "purity" :D

@desandro In the jQuery era, there was usually a direct path from the abstraction to the implementation, which I think promoted a healthy interest in learning the DOM. Now that the abstraction crosses entire programming paradigms it feels like most people don't care how it works anymore.

Now learning React (begrudgingly). I cut my teeth learning JS from Apple's iAd platform in 2010. It had state management with its Synthetic Props feature — implemented with vanilla JS property getters and setters @grorgwork

@timruffles Always auto import with vscode. Auto re-order on commit via lint fix.

@rauschma I find it useful in the TypeScript projects, because I can encapsulate a bunch of pure functions that all operate on the same data, *and* explicitly define public/private members of that interface. If it wasn't for that feature, I'd just use a module with named exports.

Java could be responsible for this anti-pattern. There are not many uses cases for static methods. The two main ones are: – Operation needs access to private fields. – Static factory methods. I like having them inside a class, next to constructors. Easier to discover, too.
Patrick Ecker@ryyppy

I see too many JS codebases that create class instances / static methods just for providing utility functions without any internal state. You can use ES modules for that! They are like classes, but actually statically analysable and tree-shakable
