A proof that Promises/A is a Monad
//-------------------------------------------------------------
//
// Hypothesis:
//
// Promises/A is a Monad
//
// To be a Monad, it must provide at least:
// - A unit (aka return or mreturn) operation that creates a corresponding
// monadic value from a non-monadic value.
// - A bind operation that applies a function to a monadic value

Better local require() paths for Node.js

Better local require() paths for Node.js

Problem

When the directory structure of your Node.js application (not library!) has some depth, you end up with a lot of annoying relative paths in your require calls like:

const Article = require('../../../../app/models/article');

Those suck for maintenance and they're ugly.

Possible solutions

The introduction to Reactive Programming you've been missing

Folder Structure

Please note

While this gist has been shared and followed for years, I regret not giving more background. It was originally a gist for the engineering org I was in, not a "general suggestion" for any React app.

Typically I avoid folders altogether. Heck, I even avoid new files. If I can build an app with one 2000 line file I will. New files and folders are a pain.

What I Wish I'd Known About Equity Before Joining A Unicorn

Disclaimer: This piece is written anonymously. The names of a few particular companies are mentioned, but as common examples only.

This is a short write-up on things that I wish I'd known and considered before joining a private company (aka startup, aka unicorn in some cases). I'm not trying to make the case that you should never join a private company, but the power imbalance between founder and employee is extreme, and that potential candidates would

Storybook Docs Typescript Walkthrough

Storybook Docs w/ CRA & TypeScript

This is a quick-and-dirty walkthrough to set up a fresh project with Storybook Docs, Create React App, and TypeScript. If you're looking for a tutorial, please see Design Systems for Developers, which goes into much more depth but does not use Typescript.

The purpose of this walkthrough is a streamlined Typescript / Docs setup that works out of the box, since there are countless permutations and variables which can influence docs features, such as source code display, docgen, and props tables.

Step 1: Initialize CRA w/ TS

npx create-react-app cra-ts --template typescript
