React proposes a simple declarative way to build an application's view. It's straightforward to write a hierarchy of stateless components or to change a state synchronously. The whole app works as an integration of two pure functions "state(event)" and "view(state)". The behavior is testable and predictable.

Usually, people integrate Google Analytics into their shops via simple pre-generated client-side javascript snippet. It's pretty straightforward, easy to use and works most of the time correctly from the box. So why would anyone want to use a server-side integration? There could be a helluva lot of reasons for that.

As a web developer, I frequently use a lot of command line tools to make my life easier. I prefer to be able to assemble a computer from whatever hardware I want, so I don't like Macs and stuff like this. Linux desktops are good enough our days, but I love to play video games from time to time.

Who needs all those paid certificate providers while we have such a brilliant project as Letsencrypt? It allows a domain owner to obtain a valid certificate for his domain in a matter of seconds without the boring stuff like generating CSR, making DNS verification records or even passing documents to the certificate issuer center.

Books were hard to get at a time when I was a kid. They were expensive and, moreover, there was a complete lack of them. Many people owned no books at all, and some other copied them manually (by hand). But there always were a lot of books in our family, and it was shocking to me back then — to see no books at all in a room.

Managing the state of an application with libraries like redux is awesome. It provides a really easy way to write simple and testable code for state transitions. You only need to decide on a structure of the desired state and write a corresponding pure function.

I have never been really good at writing. I won some rewards in my childhood. I wrote some shitty verses in my youth. None of those achievements really were significant for the universe around me. It was all like a silly child play with the symbols I barely know.

У защищенного соединения есть множество преимуществ перед старым добрым http: защита от перехвата траффика, защита от подмены содержимого, лучшее ранжирование в поисковых системах и т.д. Мне вот, например, нравится зеленый значок в адресной строке.
