Popular guides like YouMightNotNeedJQuery.com and You Don’t Need Lodash/Underscore have challenged common industry practices. This post is not as wild as, say, YouMightNotNeedJS.com, but it does…
People often choose Redux before they need it. “What if our app doesn’t scale without it?” Later, developers frown at the indirection Redux introduced to their code. “Why do I have to touch three…
When you live in a command line, configurations are a deeply personal thing. They are often crafted over years of experience, battles lost, lessons learned, advice followed, and ingenuity rewarded. When you are away from your own configurations, you are an orphaned refugee in unfamiliar and hostile surroundings. You feel clumsy and out of sorts.

Most Haskell tutorials on the web use a style of teaching akin to language reference manuals. They show you the syntax of the language, a few language constructs, then tell you to create a few simple functions at the interactive prompt. The "hard stuff" of how to write a functioning, useful program is left to the end, or omitted entirely. This tutorial takes a different approach.
Haskell programmers often code in ivory towers with their heads in the cloud. In this multi-part article series, we’ll get our feet wet diving deep below C l...
World After Capital has two goals.

RxJS is the best library out there to handle data streams and use different filters to transform data, while Axios is the one of the best libraries out there to handle cross-browser Ajax requests. If…
HTTP/2 is poised to eliminate much of the waste that developers deal with. Multiplexed connections will eliminate the need to bundle JavaScript libraries together.
