One of the great thing with the render props / HOC pattern is react is that it makes it easier to separate presentation from looks.

I would add that giving a default style is not necessarily a bad thing (this is what react-select v2 is doing is some ways)

It was a sad day when the World Taekwondo Federation voted to change its name to World Taekwondo, because people like me though pictures like this are supremely funny.

The idea of the fediverse is very appealing to me – and it feels like it can take over many walled garden services.
But in order to do it, it should become easier to build a compatible service.
If you are looking for a project, if you know well the server to server part of mastodon, or you like reverse engineering this kind of thing, go for it. This is not somethig I enjoy doing in my free time, but I would love to build stuff based on it.
I recently played with an idea of a disqus like service based on the fediverse. The service would allow comments from activity pub based note (i.e. you comment with a mastodon identity).
While this seems totally doable, the activity pub / server side integration documentation for mastodon is sparse. And I could not find any good tooling around it.
After spending the best part of a day, I decided that it was not worth the effort on my side.
He is less convincing when giving solutions – "patterns" is vague.
In the python community, when I was learning, recipes used to be big (like this: https://code.activestate.com/recipes/577540-python-binary-search-tree/).
In some ways easy packaging and github made recipes less relevant.
But, generally, it is a better tool to share some code when you do not want to handle edge cases for others.
Lately I have been looking into the code of libraries that do what I want – and just lifting the part that I need – is this the new recipe?

This is a great argument about a general issue with frameworks (and libraries).
A general purpose tool needs to fix all edge cases. Sometimes you just need a small part of it but pay in complexity for all the other cases.

A very thoughtful description of the problems between sales and engineers (and also proposition on how to alleviate them).
Not once in my 20 year career have I seen a sales person held accountable for selling something that doesn’t exist. And yet I’ve seen countless engineers held accountable for not delivering something that was sold that didn’t exist. My single biggest frustration with our industry.

Just a reminder that Firefox Quantum, the new and immensely fast version of Firefox comes out tomorrow. It drops the performance compromises of old versions of Firefox, but doesn't take the liberties with your privacy that Chrome does.
If you used to use Firefox and switched to Chrome, or if you never used Firefox at all, now is the time to check it out.
