Chris Stakutis CTO Concord Software and Executive Consulting chris.stakutis@concordsoftwareandexecutiveconsulting.com Executive Summary Very short summation: We are moving rapidly to a “services” economy which will mean lower wages, fewer roles, and less-educated jobs. The upside is that family, property improvements, personal transportation and in-home cooking will dramatically increase in value. What’s driving this is …

The funny thing about writing is that is is not like they taught you in high school. No. It’s about emotion and effect and reaching someone else’s feelings. Isn’t that interesting? I was staunch-taught in strict writing…but that’s not the world. I like this style better and I’ll work on it. Sadly this story is …

I’ve recently become an expert in Cypress (largely e2e testing, and for me/us largely ala React). It is fantastic, and combines all the right techniques you know and love. I’ve spent years in Jest/Jasmine and other test/frameworks, and they lack so much. But the reality is that testing front-end/GUI is just HARD! It’s not like …
Too much confusion and far too complicated data-sharing use-cases cause many React developers to become more discouraged concerning how to share data between React components and classes while preserving one-flow direction and asynchronous updates to the UI often from server-side changes or companion components. Even talented React developers do not truly understand ‘state’, ‘hooks’, ‘context’, …

Both have a positive association on cognitive abilities such as executive function, short term memory, reasoning, global cognitive function, processing speed and recall. In older adults these skills can stimulate several cognitive abilities, brain plasticity and possibly reduce MCI (mild cognitive impairment).

This is interesting/weird. The following code does NOT work: const [refresh, setRefresh] = useState(10); useEffect(() => { setInterval(() => { console.log(“Timeout, refresh:”, refresh); setRefresh(refresh + 3); }, 1000); return list.unsubscribe; }, []); What happens is that each time the timer-interval goes off, the value of ‘refresh’ is still at 10. Why? The value goes to …
I ran into a new challenge when I was refactoring and organizing code and components into smaller reusable pieces. I ran into a case where HOC-like approaches wont work, but perhaps an Inheritance model will, and settled on a much different approach. Let’s discuss the use case. Imagine your server holds a list of …
