I check on my subscription to the daily build when I notice that I stopped getting it and I get this:
Why aren't I getting newsletters anymore?
Because of the Canadian Government. Sorry.
It looks like you've already given us consent to send you emails. You're a saint.

Reading a free book from O'Reilly (What Is React and Why It Matters[^])
book says: React’s big breakthrough came in October 2014 at ng-europe, one of the major AngularJS conferences. In one of the sessions, a Google engineer announced that there would be a new version of AngularJS, that it would be a significant departure from the current version, that there would probably be no migration path, and that it was about a year away from being complete. Changes in direction are common for large software projects, but the announcement of a year-long purgatory left developers wondering what would happen to their current and future projects if they chose AngularJS. The AngularJS team eventually smoothed over many of the migration burdens that developers feared, but that announcement misstep helped push React from being an emerging library to a serious contender for frontend development, where it has remained ever since.
I remember when this occurred. We were learning AngularJS and just about to pull the trigger on it for a specific project when the Angular team kind of pulled the rug out from everyone.
It is interesting that React owes its _success_ to the _failure_ of AngularJS backwards compatibility.

What do you think is the reason for React's "surge" ? And, how do you evaluate the current Angular release ?
thanks, Bill

If I summarize what React is all about then I would say : two-way binding. Devs don't want to mess with all that mapping of UI element to Model object and React does that for them.
It was really the same thing with Angular.
I never did go back to Angular after breaking changes so I don't know much about modern Angular.
I'm also not sure why people would choose Angular or React.
I much prefer ASP.NET MVC and Razor and especially now with ASP.NET Core.
But i'm sure React devs will chime in and tell me it's not just about two-way binding.
Also, the way that React (and Angular) seemlessly bind your Model object (and collections of Model objects) to the HTML DOM elements is quite amazing and the first time you do that with just a couple lines of code you will be amazed -- I was anyways.

Sometimes success is all about being in the right place at the right time.

First time I've advertised an item for sale on craigslist. Almost wish I hadn't.
Pretty much every email query is a scammer. Sheesh!
The best was a guy who offered me more than I asked for, if I could send the item to him and he'd send me a check. Sure thing.
Big waste of time.

Weird. I've used it many, many times and love it.
The only thing I don't like to do is offer something for free. Lots of people respond but then never show up. Wackos. So, I'll list something for $5 and then give away free when they actually come.

I posted a dev job on there one time. I made if very clear multiple times: "IF YOU DON'T LIVE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA DO NOT BOTHER REPLYING".
I got HUNDREDS of replies. Most from India. about 2 were from SoCal.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.

Apparently he had the idea that if you plant the caps to Gin bottles they'll grow. He's just out in a field, somewhere, awaiting the harvest. Until then, the unusually dry season my continue.
