Stevey's Google Platforms Rant

I was at Amazon for about six and a half years, and now I've been at Google for that long. One thing that struck me immediately about the two companies -- an impression that has been reinforced almost daily -- is that Amazon does everything wrong, and Google does everything right. Sure, it's a sweeping generalization, but a surprisingly accurate one. It's pretty crazy. There are probably a hundred or even two hundred different ways you can compare the two companies, and Google is superior in all but three of them, if I recall correctly. I actually did a spreadsheet at one point but Legal wouldn't let me show it to anyone, even though recruiting loved it.

I mean, just to give you a very brief taste: Amazon's recruiting process is fundamentally flawed by having teams hire for themselves, so their hiring bar is incredibly inconsistent across teams, despite various efforts they've made to level it out. And their operations are a mess; they don't real

// This method gives you an easier way of calling super
// when you're using Backbone in plain javascript.
// It lets you avoid writing the constructor's name multiple
// times. You still have to specify the name of the method.

// So instead of having to write:
//
//   User = Backbone.Model.extend({
//     save: function(attrs) {
//       this.beforeSave(attrs);

Spurred by recent events (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8244700), this is a quick set of jotted-down thoughts about the state of "Semantic" Versioning, and why we should be fighting the good fight against it.

For a long time in the history of software, version numbers indicated the relative progress and change in a given piece of software. A major release (1.x.x) was major, a minor release (x.1.x) was minor, and a patch release was just a small patch. You could evaluate a given piece of software by name + version, and get a feeling for how far away version 2.0.1 was from version 2.8.0.

But Semantic Versioning (henceforth, SemVer), as specified at http://semver.org/, changes this to prioritize a mechanistic understanding of a codebase over a human one. Any "breaking" change to the software must be accompanied with a new major version number. It's alright for robots, but bad for us.

SemVer tries to compress a huge amount of information — the nature of the change, the percentage of users that wil

React now supports the use of ES6 classes as an alternative to React.createClass().

React's concept of Mixins, however, doesn't have a corollary when using ES6 classes. This left the community without an established pattern for code that both handles cross-cutting concerns and requires access to Component Life Cycle Methods.

In this gist, @sebmarkbage proposed an alternative pattern to React mixins: decorate components with a wrapping "higher order" component that handles whatever lifecycle methods it needs to and then invokes the wrapped component in its render() method, passing through props.

While a viable solution, this has a few drawbacks:

1. There's no way for the child component to override functionality defined on the higher order component.

ES7 Async Functions

JavaScript is getting async functions (or already has them if you count Babel.JS) and with them a way to finally slay the evil pyramid. This new language feature lets you write asynchronous code that almost looks synchronous, while maintaining the same semantics as promises. This lets you shed your .then and .catch boilerplate and escape those nested callbacks in favour of clean, explicit, maintainable code.
