The State of JavaScript 2018
https://2018.stateofjs.com/
That’s where the State of JavaScript survey comes in: this year, we surveyed over 20,000 JavaScript developers to figure out what they’re using, what they’re happy with, and what they want to learn. And the result is a unique collection of stats and insights that will hopefully help you make your own way through the JavaScript ecosystem. 另附：Most Popular Node.js Frameworks in 2018、10 things to learn for becoming a solid full-stack JavaScript developer.
Why React Hooks, and how did we even get here?
https://medium.freecodecamp.org/why-react-hooks-and-how-did-we-even-get-here-aa5ed5dc96af
Hooks have learned from the trade-offs of mixins, higher order components, and render props to bring us new ways to create contained, composable behaviors that can be consumed in a flat and declarative manner.
Experimenting with brain-computer interfaces in JavaScript

SVG vs Image, SVG vs Iconfont
https://aotu.io/notes/2018/11/23/SVG_vs_Image_vs_iconfont/index.html
SVG vs Image：除开复杂图像，选择 Inline SVG 或者 <img/> 标签的方式引入 SVG，会比使用 独立图像 或 组合图像 (CSS sprite) 的方式更好。SVG vs Iconfont：选择 Inline SVG 或许是一个不错地选择去替代 Iconfont 的使用方式。

[译]Google Photos Web UI 完善之旅
https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/50280008
几年前我有幸以工程师的身份加入 Google Photos 团队，并参与了 2015 年发布的第一个版本。我所负责的是 Web UI 部分，更精确点来说，我负责了照片的网格布局。我们立下雄心壮志，要做出完美的布局方案：支持全屏自适应、保证原图比例、交互便捷（比如用户可以跳转到指定的位置）、既展现海量图片又保证页面的高性能和高速加载。当时，市面上还没有任何相册产品能实现以上所有效果。据我所知，到目前为止也尚未出现能和 Google Photos 相媲美的产品。特别是在页面布局和图片比例上，大部分产品依然将图片裁剪成正方形以保证布局优美。下面我将会分享我们是如何完成这些挑战，以及 Web 版的 Google Photos 中的一些技术细节。
[译]2019年前端面试都聊啥？
https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/e-IC588SZPJK2QRBm3KuHA
面试是催生变革和汇聚人才的好方式。作为面试官的你，如果仅仅把面试当成「面试」，那么你只能自我膨胀，最终一无所获。要使一场面试成功，必须对其进行讨论。它必须是一个交换思想的地方。它应该引发人们思考并客观地分析给定的问题。它要能帮助我们理解人们做决策的过程。它要能帮助我们了解一个人对技术和解决问题的热情。它意味着要了解未来可能的同事。所有那些谜题，tricks 或 typeof null 都不能真正称为面试。以下是我们在面试讨论中提出的一些问题。我们希望它可以帮助面试官和面试者准确地看清期望，需求和现实。
Why Angular Made Me Quit Web Dev
https://hackernoon.com/why-angular-made-me-quit-web-dev-f63b83a157af
Angular. Its mere name is a hostile form on the tongue. Pronounce it slowly. /’eŋgjəlɚ/. The throat itself contorts around the hideous alien shape of this word, which means ugly, sharp, and artificial. Test subjects across the globe overwhelmingly associate the same three words with the same three shapes. Here, I will illustrate the various ways in which my psyche was irreversibly traumatized by this pandemonium of demon-droppings, Google’s brainchild: the ANGULAR WEB DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK.
Braces to Pixels
https://alistapart.com/article/braces-to-pixels
Doesn’t CSS seem like magic? Well, in this third installment of “URL to Interactive” we’ll look at the journey that your browser goes through to take your CSS from braces to pixels. As a bonus, we’ll also quickly touch on how end-user interaction affects this process. We have a lot of ground to cover, so grab a cup of <insert your favorite drink’s name here>, and let’s get going.
Web workers vs Service workers vs Worklets

Some notes about HTTP/3
https://blog.erratasec.com/2018/11/some-notes-about-http3.html#.W_p2ZGQzanc
HTTP/3 is going to be standardized. As an old protocol guy, I thought I’d write up some comments.

A Pragmatic Approach to Tech Debt Reduction
https://developers.soundcloud.com/blog/a-pragmatic-approach-to-tech-debt-reduction
My SoundCloud team, the Content Team, looks after a large number of legacy systems, along with a number of large systems that are difficult to understand and work with. Topics such as “Tech debt constantly increases development time” and “We have too much tech debt” come up frequently at our team retrospectives. We have just completed a project that was almost exclusively about tech debt reduction. This post is a series of lessons learned about how to engage in this process (and when to decide not to).
The Serverless Sea Change
https://www.infoq.com/articles/serverless-sea-change
Most of the writing on serverless applications either lacks enough detail to understand exactly why serverless has any real advantages over other methods of building software, or is far too in-the-weeds to understand how the particular discussion would be better than an alternate implementation that was not serverless. This article defines and explains how serverless is different from other application architectures and then walks through a “proof” of sorts to show that serverless application architectures, when done properly, are superior to non-serverless architectures. Finally, it concludes with a number of rules of thumb to help architects and developers realize the benefits of serverless.

Slow Software
https://www.inkandswitch.com/slow-software.html
You spend lots of time waiting on your computer. You pause while apps start and web pages load. Spinner icons are everywhere. Hardware gets faster, but software still feels slow. What gives? If you use your computer to do important work, you deserve fast software. Too much of today’s software falls short. At the Ink & Switch research lab we’ve researched why that is, so that we can do better. This article shares we’ve learned.

Amp - A complete text editor for your terminal
https://amp.rs/
Amp is inspired by Vim’s modal approach to text editing, which is reflected in several of its default key bindings. That similarity aside, there are several key differences. Above all else, Amp aims to keep things as simple as possible. There are already plenty of highly-configurable editors available. At its core, Amp aims to minimize configuration and provide a great out-of-the-box experience. The following sections describe some of the ideas central to the design of Amp that differentiate it from other options.

Art vs. Design – A Timeless Debate
https://www.toptal.com/designers/creative-direction/art-vs-design
Spend any amount of time working among professional designers and you learn that equating art with design is a surefire way to stir the pot and hear bold statements like: “Design is not art. Design has to function.”; “Art is meant to provoke thought and emotions, but it doesn’t solve problems.”; “Artists primarily work off instinct, whereas designers employ a methodical, data-driven process.” Unfortunately, the designer vs. artist discussion often deteriorates into ranting and raving. Lines are drawn, battle flags are raised, and productive dialogue becomes impossible.
Understand your future role, be a product designer
https://uxplanet.org/understand-your-future-role-be-a-product-designer-dc3ad0e70f5f
The word “product designer” is not a new word at all but we don’t know when and to whom we have to use this word. We have to get our knowledge by collaborating with other designers who are in the same field and use these types of processes to explain and come to an understanding of what standards have to be put together to create a better environment to the future product designers to get established and create a better experience to the users. 另附：10 skills that make a great designer.

作为管理者需要不断的去识别团队不必要做的事情，并且要把这些不必要做的事情砍掉或者优化，把资源投入能提高业绩的事情上来，然后你可能发现，公司不需要那么多人，尤其是不需要那么多所谓的管理者。如果你的主要收入来自销售，那么就把销售的事情做到极致，而不是非要去搞线下活动。哪怕你线下活动能做出花样来，又能怎么样呢？另附：创业中的快与慢。
