Can I ask how long you ended up using Next for? Did you quit frontend dev after 2 weeks, or only after working through the challenges etc.?
My Next honeymoon has been going on for a couple years now, and I think it's an AMAZING developer experience compared to anything I've worked with before (Perl/PHP/Laravel/Symfony/Angular/jQuery/React)... it's the framework that made me choose to specialize in frontend because it was so nice. What didn't work for you?
I designed and led that project for 3 years. The technology choice was mine, so it was a learning experience. Frontend was something I did alongside the rest of the stack, but I've seen so many terrible libraries by inexperienced developers come and go post jQuery, I actively avoid frontend-focused roles now.

I don't blame you, heh. Every year I feel like the fragmentation is getting worse, not better. It's fun for a while, but makes it really hard to plan for long-term stability and maintainability. It's likely anything I write today will be unusable in 2 years.
I am still annoyed I took the time to learn Webpack and its overly complex configuration a few years back, and the world has already forgotten all about it. There definitely is the feeling that learning a new frontend library is a terrible use of your time.
Some of those things in the pipeline like wkwebview-friendly HTTP sound great, would we be able to more easily see requests in the browser Dev tools for instance (a la native browser fetch)? Also can we expect any perf improvements over Cordova (I assume rendering perf would be identical)?
If any senior VoIP/SIP/WebRTC dev is interested, my telemedicine startup just won the tender for building the WebRTC platform used by all hospitals in the Paris region. Includes some cool medical devices data streaming too. We're desperately understaffed so we're offering very competitive compensation, PM me. Stack is React+Node.js+Kurento but could change based on your input.
At first glance it actually looks like a pretty good card in terms of rewards. If I didn't have 3 cards that provide basically the same rewards, I would get it. 4% on dining, 3% on travel and 2% on online purchases is very nice. The $100 credit for $500 spent in 3 months is also generous. No annual fee.
It sounds like 4% is only if you redeem points for Uber credits.
The fine print sounds like cash back redemptions are at a flat 1%:
> Points can be redeemed for Uber credits directly in the Uber app. Points can also be redeemed for cash back or gift cards. All redemptions are at a 1% value.
These are good terms. In fact, too good. Based on my experience, once credit card company reels in enough customer base, they will revise down rewards. But these should be good for at least a year.
I'm not an expert on of any sorts. But these cashback values are much better than my current credit card. And I pay an $100 a year fee for mine. This one is free. It just seems a very solid card.
I agree; I mainly use my Amazon Prime card (5% on Amazon, 2% at restaurants, 1% otherwise), and this card is much better - plus there's an extra $50 back from subscriptions which is nice.
Not sure where you live but Uber's 'terrible' brand is at best a very localized phenomenon. In most of the world it's either a neutral or positive association.
The metric system was first adopted during the French revolution. Why would they base the meter on the british foot? The pied du roi was 324.84mm compared to the UK 296 mm.
Same comment for temperatures. Both scale emerge around the time (mid 1700s). It's not like people switched from Fahrenheit to Celcius...

We're less than an hour in and the OP question is the top comment... I'm not sure what's so wrong to you about the HN community here?
