​​One of the benefits of Javascript as a language is that it allows us to write functional style of programming, that is, we write programs by composing functions which describe actions (what should happen) and abstracts the processes (how it should happen). This style of programming is possible in javascript because functions are first-class citizens, they are data and can be passed around in your application like variables.

​​Does jQuery have a place in 2019? It has of course, largely fallen out of favor in recent years. However, don’t let that discourage you from taking some time to learn about it. We’ll be taking a brief look at the state of jQuery in this article. And for those interested in learning a bit about it, we’ll run through the basics — including element manipulation, events and effects. And we’ll finish up with some useful examples showing jQuery in action.

​​Up until now, I have mostly been developing new Flask projects from scratch. As most projects tend to consist of similar folder structures, it gets really mundane setting up the identical base projects repeatedly over a period of time.

​​This is a somewhat opinionated curriculum for learning front-end development during #100DaysOfCode. As it covers a wide range of front-end development topics, it can be thought of as more of a “survey” style course rather than a deep dive into any one area. Ideally, your takeaway from completing this curriculum will be some familiarity with each topic and the ability to easily dive deeper in any area in the future when necessary.

​​webpack is a brilliant tool for bundling frontend assets. When things start to slow down, though, its batteries-included nature and the ocean of third-party tooling can make it difficult to optimize. Poor performance is the norm and not the exception. But it doesn’t have to be that way, and so — after many hours of research, trial, and error — what follows is a field guide offering up what we learned on our path towards a faster build.

​​From the beginning, Discord has been an early adopter of Elixir. The Erlang VM was the perfect candidate for the highly concurrent, real-time system we were aiming to build. We developed the original prototype of Discord in Elixir; that became the foundation of our infrastructure today. Elixir’s promise was simple: access the power of the Erlang VM through a much more modern and user-friendly language and toolset.

​​In our life as X-Ops — i.e. roles like DevOps, CloudOps, GitOps, SysOps — we focus on building infra-as-code. We frequently use Docker to build and test, commit and pull the code to/from repositories, and when all tests pass, infra moves in production — completely automated.
