"Refactor" is a terrible term, but it's a useful euphemism for "rewrite" when you don't quite want to admit to managers that code is unsalvageable garbage.

Sorry for the negativity (just gotta vent sometimes), but "styled components" is the most foolish thing I've seen in a long time. Taking the "Cascade" out of CSS is going to result in better, more maintainable designs? Really?

I'm moving! For the third time in less than two years, and hopefully for the last time in a long while. See you in the other side, love.

dear JS, what you are looking for (although you don't know it) is annotations.

"extends null" seems good enough already: function NullProto() {} NullProto.prototype = null; class C extends NullProto {} console.log((new C).toString); // undefined

I can't believe I was too scared to post a link to this thing I wrote in January about evolving the JS language: github.com/zenparsing/ske… Maybe too late, but enjoy.

After doing C++ for a bit (and experimenting with "modern" C++ as well), some thoughts: (1) C++ modules are wonderful. (2) Compile time template errors are still a nightmare. (3) You can express basically anything you want. (4) It's the ultimate yak-shaving language.
