🧵 Evan corporate app I made in 5 days is now functional; I'm gonna to make another one and start selling it

🍶 Freeman Just want to share my thoughts here. I've worked with react for the last 5 years. However I've started seeing a trend and it's for a good reason that people incl me realise the trade offs of reactivifying everything. Esp for a blog, a non SPA server rendered page works with less moving parts, or a html only SSG (i use zola). You could mount extra reactivity with Web Components (e.g remount). PS i still use next.js, not trying ti dismiss it :)

🧵 Evan You can React-ify static sites too! I'm pretty sure that's what Gatsby is. @msp it's way cheaper (usually even free) to run a blog using a static site hosted on Netlify. I wish I could find an alternative to Netlify, because I feel like they're getting too big, but that's what seems to work for now.

☝️ Jean-David Moisan When I write a message, how come I get the error "Use spaces or shorter words". What's the condition to trigger that message? I'm way below the character limit.

🧵 Evan Not sure why the limitation is in place (maybe something related to spam) but if there are a few words with slashes in between, I started using commas+spaces instead, and that fixed it for me. It seems to count punctuation as a part of one single large word.

Chris Silverman Sounds silly, but I don't understand how the "replies" function works at all. I'll see a thread with something like "8 replies", and when I click it, I expect the replies to drop down under it in a clear hiearchy. They don't seem to do that, and I don't see the number of replies that the link indicates.

🧵 Evan It looks like the figure of replies comes from a count of all replies to a given post/reply, then all replies to its replies, and so on. So OP -> reply 1 -> reply to reply 1 = 3 replies to OP's post, even though the third reply is actually not to the OP's post itself.

🌊 Zero Two neat. What resource do u recommend learning C# ?

🧵 Evan I've just been relying on Microsoft documentation and other examples I find around the 'net. Do be aware of the differences between .NET Framework (old, Windows-only) and .NET Core (open-source, all platforms) and you can use most things between the two. AFAIK all the language features are the same, but some of the built-in APIs can be totally different, so be sure to look specifically for .NET Core in that case. They're getting rid of .NET Framework soon.

🦄 Chip Uni Lots of us here are programmers. What's your favorite programming language, and why?

🧵 Evan I love JS and TypeScript, be it through Node.JS, Deno, or the browser, because I've never not been able to get something done with it. My second favorite would be C#.NET Core, for my current jobs. Anyone who wants something like Java without all the crust, take a look at C# with .NET Core. It's got a lot of refreshing features and built-in async, await, Promises (Tasks) just like JS, far easier to setup a project, and doesn't necessarily need a heavy weight IDE.

🦄 Chip Uni Unfortunately, some groups manipulate talk about coronavirus, especially to try to open up. So I'm not waiting until the news filters through to me.

🧵 Evan taking that into account, I do take everything with a grain of salt, but I suppose I'm talking more about places I already pay attention to i.e. HN will have the most important news i.e. "a vaccine/treatment is out!" hit the front page fairly quickly

🦄 Chip Uni Hey, subreply folk -- what resources do you use most to keep up with coronavirus information?

🧵 Evan opinion which does not answer your question: I hear people talk about it and otherwise I'm avoiding the topic while taking the usual safety precautions; being eaten up with concern over a global thing is counter-productive to me; when something important comes out about it everyone will know so it's no use keeping up with it
