Name Classes Like Magic: the Gathering Cards
I grew up playing Magic: the Gathering. As a kid I noticed something interesting about the card names – there were no generic names. There were no cards named “Zombie” or “Elf” or “Wizard”. There were cards named “Fugitive Wizard”, “Llanowar Elves”, “Gravebane Zombie”, and even “Storm Crow” but no “Crow”. Modern card names…

Addressing valueLink deprecation in React 15
React version 15 has deprecated valueLink which was a property on form elements for expressing two-way binding between the value of the form element and a state property of the component using the element. The recommended replacement is to explicitly specify the value as a prop and to supply an onChange handler instead.At Rescale, we…

The Problem with Data Modeling (as commonly practiced)
Every mature MVC application has that one model that’s grown out of control. The table has 20 columns; there are user preferences stored in it alongside system information; it sends email notifications and writes other models to the database. The model encompasses so much application logic that any new feature is likely to have to…
