There is always a tendency to blame the addiction on the substance, but it's usually symptomatic of something deeper.

		oblio on July 4, 2018 \| parent \| context \| on: Open-Plan Offices Are Making Us Less Social Can companies just come out and say it? They’re all adopting open offices because they’re cheaper and the cogs are easy to move around. Though it baffles me why Facebook, Google, etc., companies that can afford it, don’t switch to 2-4-6-8 person offices. Best option: not too isolated, not too bunched up together.

My impression with Scala.js is that it's nice (and maybe the best option going at the moment) but you're still kind of a second-class citizen, which I'm hoping WASM will change.

The worst part about this is that it makes people (at work or in side projects) use these and other frameworks for every project ever for the resume padding.
