I run every PR as part of my code review. Why? Because often, the PR doesn't even work right. Often a PR only works on a "happy path". It ignores validation, error handling, accessibility, loading state, etc. It's best to catch these issues *before* merge.

I am absolutely DELIGHTED by Ember's trajectory. I can't think of another framework that has evolved so much, even less with such a well-though migration plan and strong backwards compatibility. I wish more people would gently consider it.

I think, big picture, we need a drumbeat of reminding people that ember still exists, showing people that not only does it still exist, but it's also surprisingly modern. Then we show ways that Ember is ahead of the competitive pack, leading into a big Polaris push.

I disagree. There are few things more important than naming. Naming impacts maintenance and velocity later. And naming things well isn't easy for many. So if I don't understand a name, I carefully read the code, and then try to suggest a better one.

Every modern front end framework does this better than #react. #vuejs, #solid_js, #sveltejs, #emberjs, #angular, etc. To be honest, I feel that all React has going for it is momentum and a lot of cheap developers coming from bootcamps.

#EmberJS allows normal property assignment except it's: @tracked count = 0; because anything you want to be reactive is explicitly marked as reactive

#EmberJS has a marketing problem, as evidenced by: We need more people talking about Ember

I got an email from Google Earth saying it can “read maps backwards” and I thought: “That’s just spam.”

no it's not. Calling anything simple kinda makes folks who don't "get it" right away feel bad, and could lead to folks not asking questions and getting the support they need.
