  • For me, as primarily a backend dev, the argument was that it’s a framework, unlike React, so you get an everything-in-one solution which is quite easy to setup and use.

    Given that Google still hasn’t killed this one yet, it’s also a mature platform with plenty of articles online on how to use it.

    IIRC the license was also better than React’s, at least last time I checked.

    Not sure on what the landscape looks like today, but when I was making the choice, the internet didn’t seem to consider other solutions to be competitive with either React or Angular.





  • I just beat this level yesterday!

    It becomes easy… Once you know what the tricks are supposed to be, which the game doesn’t tell you at all.

    For me, these were the tips I needed:

    1. There’s a dedicated button for burnout, which makes it super easy to do the 360
    2. the slalom only counts if you do the pillars on one side of the garage BOTH WAYS
    3. To do a backwards 180, drive backwards, then push one direction, then halfway through push the other direction.

    Supposedly the PSX version also has a video in the options menu which shows you a dev completing the course, with button prompts on screen.

    Oh, and there’s a cheat code in-game to skip this level entirely.









  • There are good reasons to dislike Telegram, but having “just” 30 engineers is not one of them. Software development is not a chair factory, more people does not equal more or better quality work as much as 9 women won’t give birth to a baby in a month.

    Edit:

    Galperin told TechCrunch. “‘Thirty engineers’ means that there is no one to fight legal requests, there is no infrastructure for dealing with abuse and content moderation issues.”

    I don’t think fighting legal requests and content moderation is an engineer’s job. However, the article can’t seem to get it straight whether it’s 30 engineers, or 30 staff overall. In the latter case, the context changes dramatically and I don’t have the knowledge to tell if 30 staff is enough to deal with legal issues. I would imagine that Telegram would need a small army of lawyers and content moderators for that. Again, not engineers, though.
