No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.
Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.

- There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.

I am currently dealing with a lot of libraries at work. Both third party as well as libraries written or being currently in process of being written by me. I absolutely love writing and working with libraries. Especially if they present or bring me to either a new or different approach to solve a problem. Or at least provide a different view.
Over time I noticed however that quite regulary we had to decide that we cannot use a third party library. Often it is the usual reason.

Using the Revealing Module Pattern in Javascript
Zach Caceres
Javascript does not have the typical 'private' and 'public' specifiers of more traditional object oriented languages like C# or Java. However, you can achieve the same effect through the clever application of Javascript's function-level scoping. The Revealing Module pattern is a design pattern for Javascript applications that elegantly solves this problem.
The central principle of the Revealing Module pattern is that all functionality and variables should be hidden unless deliberately exposed.
Let's imagine we have a music application where a musicPlayer.js file handles much of our user's experience. We need to access some methods, but shouldn't be able to mess with other methods or variables.

Summary of Clean Architecture by Robert C. Martin
Uncle Bob, the well known author of Clean Code, is coming back to us with a new book called Clean Architecture which wants to take a larger view on how to create software.
Even if Clean Code is one of the major book around OOP and code design (mainly by presenting the SOLID principles), I was not totally impressed by the book.
Clean Architecture leaves me with the same feeling, even if it's pushing the development world to do better, has some good stories and present robust principles to build software.
The book is build around 34 chapters organised in chapters.

For example, to override the AppBar (https://material-ui-next.com/api/app-bar/) root class we can do the following:
1 - Add the property classes in the AppBar component:
<AppBar classes={{root: 'my-root-class'}}
