Yes I agree. Prices should be WAY higher for what you get. I looked at buying in Tahoe but didn't because I was buying for cash flow, not strictly for a second home. There's just too much high quality inventory and the amount of snow can be an issue for guests. It's a magical place though and if I lived closer I might buy regardless of cash flow.

I don't know of a better value for the consumer. One of my family members purchased a place up there about a year ago and she's starting to do better but it's been a grind. She told me that her renters are often unrealistic. I find it odd given the amount of money up there and the low nightly price but it's probably just the supply and the fact that a lower price means people aren't forced to really evaluate the value as they should. That and the fact that primary housing prices are so damn high, that when people get away they don't/can't spend a lot.

The best thing to do from my experience is to use boilerplates.

Everything is architected, most libraries are pre-installed, you don't have to deal with webpack (OMG, tell me about configuring webpack), they also have a lot of documentation and most importantly sample code.

If you're using react, I found this boilerplate to be inferior to none: https://github.com/react-boilerplate/react-boilerplate

I used vimperator and experienced crazy slowdown on Firefox in both OSX and Ubuntu. This happens after you browse for a while. Wasn't sure why initially. Things improved dramatically after reinstalling the addon. But I had to do it frequently so it wasn't worth it.

I think it's because things are saved in history for a long time or history chain of sites in a tab is very long.

I've had a similar experience. After struggling with react and ember for a while, I ended up switching to using Vue, which IMHO, has a much simpler setup with Vue loader.
Care to elaborate? I don't mind if you can't be super specific.
I still code in ES5 with Backbone or Angular, depending on need. I've never felt nor seen a need to learn ES6 or React.

I think it's mostly a matter of accepting that you are not on the cutting edge of programming, and the confidence of handling a less dramatic codebase built with stable tools.
I moved to vuejs... 2.x is great. Had the same experience with reactjs as you.

I didn't say most progress, I said breakthroughs. Let's look back at some of the biggest breakthroughs in history. Newton was by all accounts a profoundly odd human being who was highly secretive and kept to himself. Faraday came from poverty and made his discoveries with no grounding in the math of the day. Einstein made his big breakthroughs as a patent clerk working on his own. Darwin was also an outsider who worked on his own to develop his theory of evolution.

I'm not discounting the work of insiders, but their role is typically to tame the wilds first explored by the outsiders.
Let's define reckless. Also, aside from the CEO what about the engineer who writes the code? I would think the CTO would be more responsible for reckless automated operation than the CEO. Regardless, companies will probably have to have insurance similar to what people who drive cars have.
I see a lot of good answers here already... but understand the reason you want your own firm... and the reason why it sucks to be a developer at most agencies... is the same as why it's really hard to be a developer out on your own. It's not talent that matters, it's the ability to sell. The sales guys have all the power because, without them, there is no viable firm.

Now... you can say, "Oh without delivery talent there isn't a firm either..." and you're not wrong. But, a firm can always fake it until they make it -- many do. Then scramble to hire devs once they get a sale. It's not a discussion around what comes first -- the chicken or the egg... it's sales that comes first.

If you're just looking to freelance, find a "cash cow" client or two. Bend over backwards to keep them happy. You'll make an OK living billing out at your hourly for them. If you have time, try and grow... but at some point you'll have to make the call if you want to do sales or delivery work -- and if it's the later you'll never have time to do the former correctly.

So to keep a client happy... you have to talk to the project manager on their side, the VP on their side, the C-level folks on their side... all the lunches and emails and gifts and crap that you never see because the sales / accounts team handled it for you. And if you don't do it... rest assured someone else is, and you'll end up losing your contract to someone who is willing to waste a day playing golf and building multi-layer relationships.

Having done my own business for a number of years... it's empowering to be your own boss, but even getting all my clients through reputation / word of mouth... it's a never-ending struggle to keep up with sales / accounts and it takes a lot more of my time than I ever thought it would.

It takes a lot more than just doing the job right for them. Let's face it... most of the higher up folks making the decisions about budgets... they aren't perfectly in tune with delivery anyway, so when someone comes along who tells them they can do it cheaper, faster, better, whatever... and turns on the charm... your relationship with the client's project manager isn't going to mean all that much.

It's exhausting having to be so aggressively inquisitive about my clients' businesses so I can get out ahead of them before they send out an RFP or invite another contractor in that could be trying to vie for my job. At the end of the day... is it worth it? Sure -- for me -- for the freedom. But I'd probably have more money, and a lot more free time, if I just worked for someone else.
It seems you're frustrated with frameworks and the web platform in addition to ES6.

I think the web platform has gotten a lot more accessible to developers and actually simpler in many ways very recently.

* Custom Elements offer a built-in component model that works with vanilla JavaScript and is in harmony with the DOM, rather than trying to replace it. No tooling is needed, and you can try it out right in your browser's dev console.

* ES6 classes standardize and simplify syntax for classical inheritance where before ES5 inheritance was either ad-hoc, or you had to buy in to a frameworks inheritance helpers (variations of createClass() or extend()).

* CSS's flexbox and now grids let you express layout much closer to your intent, instead of floats, auto-margins, large grid systems, etc.

* Shadow DOM solves CSS scoping and overly complex selectors. You can write very simple and straightforward styles when they're scoped to a shadow root.

* CSS variables bring a platform-native way to do variables, rather than having to do SASS/LESS/SCSS.

* JavaScript modules will finally solve and standardize the import and loading problem, which has spawned countless tools and entire tools ecosystems.

And, if you judiciously choose some non-standard tools, TypeScript brings a great experience for reading, navigating and type checking code, with a language that's as close to plain JS as we've seen recently. It's been much easier for my team to jump between projects with TypeScript's clearer type annotations.

Personally, I think the future of the web is _very_ bright, it's just not evenly distributed yet.
I had the same experience when starting with React. One thing I would recommend is to not use Redux. It is an advanced framework that's appropriate for large applications and teams, but will give you a headache when you're just starting out. Add it in pieces as you make your first React app.

Also, I would avoid using a boilerplate/starter project. Create-react-app should be enough. Many other boiler plate projects are filled with things you don't need when you're starting out.

It does seem harsh and it's possible that some part of employee obligations are done from fear.

However, we don't know the exact circumstances behind the firings. I'm giving Steve the benefit of the doubt that he didn't fire folks who slipped deadlines just once, but removed though who consistently didn't deliver or acknowledge risks early.

Effective policies need teeth. Particularly if your company is in a lean position (emerging from bankruptcy). It reminds me of the "War time CEO" chapter from Ben Horowitz's "The Hard Thing about Hard Things".
A different viewpoint is worth 80 IQ points.
It is possible for most progress in a field to be made by insiders and most breakthroughs to be made by outsiders, if breakthroughs are single moment of uneven development.

If we use the terminology of Thomas Kuhn, most progress is in periods of "normal science" and most breakthroughs involve a "paradigm shift".

Labeling for opiates does not matter as opiates in and of themselves are highly unpredictable. Example: The same batch of heroin - first dose could be fine. You come back several hours later, take 1/3 the dose you did before and you're dead from an OD.

That's how a couple of people in my rehab ministry died. Meth is more reliably predictable in comparison.

There's this frustrating principle of public transit where I've never lived in a place that I could take it and get there faster than I could by some other means. There's a bus stop right in front of my house, and light rail station a few minutes walk away. The train stops in front of my office, but I can still bike or drive to work faster.

When I lived far out in the suburbs there was a commuter train once an hour and I could always count on being able to drive the freeway faster, even in traffic even though it was miserable.
God. Transcribing that would be mind-numbing. Glad computers are getting better at this.

I'd say part of this problem is specific to JS (in its current state). I don't think there is, or ever has been, a major swath of the software development world with:

- so many tools

- such a high rate of change and therefore obsolescence and tool breakage

- such a huge number of shitty half-baked solutions (a function of the first two)

Maybe this is just because there's never been a programming language relevant to so many people. But anyway, if you compare JS development to traditional native app development, or the more popular paradigms for back and development over the past years and presently, there are usually fewer and more dominant tools that maintain mind share and therefore get people to work on them and stay relevant over longer periods.

I work with JS part of the time, and my own solution to this is just cargo-cult it. That is to say copy what my advanced JS colleagues who tinker do.

The drawback is that I never have the latest state-of-the-art tooling (e.g. my project still uses npm even though I think I want to be using yarn). The obvious advantage is that I don't spend time dealing with this kind of stuff very much.

The JavaScript world is kind of a painful place to be an early adopter right now.

> Is it just me, or is this too complicated for something that should be simple?

Your problem is that what you're trying to do shouldn't be simple. For better or worse the ES6 toolchain (Babel, Webpack, npm, etc) is very enterprise. It's intended for production-grade stuff where you need a lot of control. I do frontend for a living and these tools make my life so much easier. If you're just trying to build a simple web app you're better off just starting small.

cosmorocket,

i owe you something i can't explain:

the mass of answers here are all brilliant in their ways,

but they are touching my memory of a very long time ago, in my twenties, when i first was throwing my all into business, my own startup, which i was indescribably lucky to keep from trashing..

i had the benefit of insane experience around me. By accident of a very long story, i had 200 years of multi national board level experience advising me, and i started silly young.

And i sounded nothing as good as, but really like pretty much all of the above.

Now, is many many years later.

Please nobody take this in any way meaning anything down on the true effusion of positive comment, above,

but for me it is a nostalgia trip,

i just got reconnected with a barely twenty something me

the outpouring here is amazing

i so wish there was anything like such a community, anyplace, the poles i'd relocate..

.. the energies i read above, are what i yearned for, when starting out

and yet despite i had the most amazing advice, counsel, business partners even, i only now realize to the extent at which they nurtured me, were patient with me, and how- long after each of those great guys retired or we parted ways - only now do i actually sound a little like they did, and it is so unlike the brilliance here, so much tempered, so much becalmed by blows and booms i never could have imagined, so much moderated by - not really cynicism, but by simply the experience of years distilling everything to the shortest short hand I could... Now i know how hard it was for my mentors to expand arguments they had reduced to great simplicity. I seem to have come full circle.

Oh, this isn't coming across how I wanted. But i mean without the slightest ill comment, to say how reading this discussion reminds me of me, what i wanted for colleagues, when young, but now i find, decades later, i think entirely differently, and feel so distant from the first energies I tried to let run in the world, and i rather have become what i once thought was cynicism in my elders. I hope i've not appeared cynical. But I really really want to say to cosmorocket, whose life may be changed by this, that a great deal of the replies here are exactly what my mentors railed against, were aghast against, when i expressed myself similarly. That does not invalidate any replies, but without addressing any individually, i really see the critical elements as missing in the debate entirely, which i note in my above comment. And my company survived because I was babysat by guys retired form boards of multinationals (fluke, fluke times a million, very difficult to believe, my story, really) who somehow tolerated me. But I was wrong, and i sounded like - rather I wanted to sound like but also be as confident, as what seems to majority here. And it took me all this time to learn why that ain't the full ticket, by some long way.
It just wasn't meant to be.

So no, these aren't the same people. However, it is the same parent organization, but I don't think anyone is disputing that even though that's the strawman you are attacking.

This is severely fucked. Wellness programs do little or no good but do allow employers to offer incentives for participation. This on the other hand is GATTACA level fuckery. GINA took many years to be put in place; now the proposal put forward will potentially cause people to lose health coverage or their job based on things they cannot control. Potentially their kids, too, since these idiotic "wellness" programs are administered by poorly regulated third parties.

This is very, very bad stuff.

I'm of a similar opinion. I grew up watching my mother have surgery on both of her wrists for what used to be called carpal-tunnel syndrome and now is just called repetitive strain injury. I've spent probably triple the time by 38 years old that she had in front of a computer, full time developing software, on a standard, non ergo keyboard which is nearly the same (even has clicky button switches!) as the one from her era.

But I've got a mouse too. I use it all the time. It breaks up the repetitive in RSI. I think this is a good thing. We're not all trying to break the record in Mavis Beacon anymore. Most developers agree productivity is not measured in lines of code and yet some seem to still insist that a few seconds at most to move their hands and use the mouse is hurting them somehow.

That complete lack of walkability is some serious riff-raff proofing they're doing there. Can't have anyone without a car just wandering into a nearby pleasant little suburban cul-de-sac now can we? You see, lack of walkability is basically a strategy for keeping poor people out of nice areas. San Francisco is the exception to this rule because of the hills. Poor people don't like to walk up hills to go to the liquor store ergo nice houses can be near poor neighborhoods as long as they are sufficiently up hill.
Unpopular opinion: Aaron Swartz abused the trust which was placed in him by MIT as its guest when engaging in his civil disobedience, and MIT was perfectly justified not to intercede in his case.

A bit like if your friend comes to your house, you tell him, "don't smoke weed outside, the cops around here will arrest you," and your friend says "I support marijuana legalization, so I'll smoke wherever I want." Your friend smokes up on your front steps, you try to get him to stop (it's your house after all), and then the cops show up, rough you up a bit, and arrest him.

There are many more deserving than Aaron Swartz of this award, within and without the MIT community.

Edubuntu – Free education oriented OS for kids
I'm in a similar position, trying to update myself from jQuery/Backbone land to React etc. It truly is a nightmare - so many similar yet slightly different tools and conventions. So many web sites with code that almost works but not quite. So much "magic" which works when it works and when it doesn't you simply have no idea where to even start debugging it. Which is all the worse in languages like Javascript where everything is typeless and dynamic and the only way trace things is to debug live, usually landing you into minified code you have no hope of decoding.

Technology does seem to move in cycles and this has all the signs of a peak of complexity. I feel like it will almost certainly collapse under its own weight - the last time I saw complexity this out of control was the early days of J2EE. The question is whether the solution will be built on elements of what currently exists or whether someone will make a clean sweep like Ruby on Rails did to J2EE.

Sorry, I don't have anything else to offer other than a sympathetic rant!

"who created it" implies a causal chain of events whereby someone is responsible for the bug. This is Safety-I thinking. John Allspaw addresses this when he states that "there is no root cause" for an incident or bug. So in a very practical sense YES the bug is "born" at the moment the user "discovers" it. Note that "discovery" here is in the imperial sense where the the user has drawn a line on the software map (so to speak) an labeled it: beyond this here be bugs. Devops very directly implies skepticism for causality as a primary/default phenomenology for understanding bugs.
