    I switched from Sublime to VSCode a year or two ago. Its fantastic. I just to javascript though so ymmv. It just does everything right and with a few very well made extensions its great to work with.

    Apparently the freedom to have shithole formatting. PrettierJS has been lifechanging being a lead developer.

    Haven't played yet since I'm in fucking India but man on paper those pharah changes seem pretty good. Especially decreased firing time, should be super easy to land 2 direct hits now and blow away 3/4 of the cast.

    Don't agree with this at all really, you have no idea if they "know" they're underpaid until they get a better paying job and are gone. TBH everyone, employees and management, should have a good idea of market value for their position(s). This is pretty easy to figure out just by having an...

    Don't hop after less than a year. 2 is fantastic. re: React issue above are you using an <input> tag? Or a react abstraction? <input placeholder={etc} /> should render fine anywhere outside of um.. IE8.

    To be totally honest I don't give a fuck. My job, directly, is to complete user stories, i.e. "this should do this". When I think its done I mark it as complete and move it forward in jira. How it gets accepted is not my responsibility, even as a lead. On my team stories get accepted...

    I've never heard of any developers "coming up with the overall test strategy". I certainly haven't. Anyone ever go to India for work trip? First time for me in a few days, 18 hour flight, good times. Director says "bring them candy" (?) ok then.

    yeah no you want me to do all of QA (UAT, regression testing) in addition to all of the dev? You can pay me twice. And by that I mean x1.3 :rolleyes:

    Yikes definitely see how the dom works/what it is (cliffs: the representation of your html that JS can use to do things) but yeah no developer does end to end tests really. Unit tests are their responsibility though. As the lead dev for my team I make my guys do unit tests at least to the...

    Dom manipulation unit tests (enzyme if react) are exactly "how the browser will react" though, at least if written well i.e. when an html element with a class of foo is clicked, an html element with a class of bar is now in the dom, like when you want to test that a modal appears or whatever...
