What We’re Reading — January 26, 2016
A curated selection of interesting links shared, and discussed, in our #what-we_re-reading Slack channel. Have something we should talk about? Share it with us in the comments.
We’re heavy users of React and Redux at Social Tables, and since we’re starting to have conversations around how we can standardize our data transfers in a sane way, evaluating technologies designed with that same pattern in mind makes a lot of sense. (And Code Cartoons is amazing for explaining abstract concepts.)
Every pull request at Social Tables gets reviewed (often by multiple devs), and while it’s easy to understand the purpose behind doing a code review, it’s important to be just as deliberate and thoughtful about that stage of our development process as we are about any other. We widely agreed with a lot in this piece, especially the idea of keeping our pull requests short.
Did you know this existed yet? Your curator hadn’t. Conor may have built something cool with it anyway. Watch this space.
So this might not really count as “reading,” but 20 minutes after this tweet was posted to the channel this morning, five different projects had new pull requests modifying their .npmrc file. If your team’s projects require you to deal with a long npm install runtime, this might give you a quick and painless speed bump.
