The “real” Tony Stark to Elon’s Justin Hammer?


I think you’re burying the lede here.

It looks like you have the ability to run an isolated portion of the dom on another thread and you can communicate with it with this library? Am I close?

I think more examples could help. Could you have 2-3 real time analytics viz/charts running in 2-3 different threads? Is this mostly for desktop or does mobile benefit also?


Thanks for the feedback.

You could run any number of parallel threads.

This is applicable on both desktop and mobile.


The second is azure sql only.


Big difference is MSFT actually makes money from dev tools. Visual studio, azure DevOps, GitHub, copilot.


My guess is the end of nearly free money is hurting the private equity backed companies.

Private equity is the dark matter of tech. For every company that gets squired by a FAANG there's some multiple getting gobbled up by a private equity funded conglomerate to either bundle or unbundle the tech.

These are the companies making software that powers everything in society. Companies you've never heard of making software for niches you've probably never really thought about.


Ask yourself this: how many of these "AI" products are A) real or B) need a lot of workers to implement.

SaaS required a lot of workers in feature factories churning out code. Does "AI" require this? Why or why not?

If AI is a bust are finance bros going to be bullish on tech?


When jobs are lost in manufacturing/mining/etc it's efficiency. When it happens in tech it's time for socialism?

Maybe as a society we could amp up the empathy a little bit and the 90-99% could stand together instead of getting picked off industry by industry?


Good point. Actually I hope it happens (the socialized benefits) to all industries. In the past one of the reasons you committed to a corporation was for the benefits. From healthcare to retirement and stability. They are obviously not committed to anyone. Hence imo they, the corporations, should lose the benefit of the lockin. Maybe they can differentiate for the high value employees by giving them RSUs and better pay.


How is that socialism? Workers don't control the means of production in an open market either. Having healthcare and benefits tied to employment is not a smart idea as it essentially traps workers into working forever in order to get good healthcare.


How did you get into that? What's the job title?

If you don't mind sharing I'd love to know more.


>> How did you get into that?

It was from networking and timing. I was on a team that was being dissolved because of some internal politics and at the time I had been talking with some people in the UI/UX department about some openings they had for designers or UX researchers. By chance a director heard I was poking around and wanting to move over and reached out and said they were going to need to fill some backfill roles and asked if I ever considered accessibility.

After meeting several people on the team, I thought it would be a good fit and a role I could use a lot of my development background as well, so the learning curve wouldn't be so steep. The final weeks of my team being dissolved was basically spent being onboarded onto the accessibility team so when I moved over, it was a really smooth transition.

>> What's the job title?

I'm an accessibility engineer. We do mainly two things - consulting and assessments. Its a great place for me as a developer because I get to work with designers and developers so I'm in the middle of all the action and interface with everybody on the team. Its been a great move and its an area that is becoming super important so demand is only going to increase in the future.


Significant white space would have been a disaster on the web.

As much as everyone poops on js it is a very forgiving language for embedding.


JS is fine for scripting, sprinkling a bit of interactivity on a page. The issue is when you want to create whole software out of it, and the last thing you want is forgiveness. You want the compiler and linter complaining loudly.


We’re about due for a new edition with some updates. I read it again just recently and in certain sections I would love some updates. Many things have changed in 7 years.
