We are looking for people that breathe our mission -- to support local merchants by making same-day delivery easy and affordable.
As a company we’ve been experimenting with xstate for about a year. Generally speaking, bug counts go down as a direct result. We’re at a point now that it’s part of our process — a key deliverable as part of our first phase of development is what we call a “navigational statechart” which informs the development of the wireframes. The beauty of this process is that we can take that same statechart directly into the later development stages.
We recently did a proof-of-concept at my company and came to some similar conclusions. We can see state charts driving our development process exactly as you described, so it’s good hear that others are finding success with this approach!
We are going to be incorporating xstate at a basic level in one of our next projects, but I’d eventually like to see it become entrenched in how we do all UI development.

The author positions his pitch about being all about the product and the value the customer sees in it, when I think a large portion of the potential client's decision to pay 35k is based on this guy's ability to actually bring it to market. If the potential client has no idea who you are, I think it'd be crazy difficult to sell them on a 35k "idea". They'll need to get to know you, and the author doesn't really touch on that point.
With my 6 (almost 7) year old I've been giving him 2% daily interest on whatever is in his chequing account. He's aware I'll scale it back when it gets out of hand :) But so far he spends enough on nerf equipment that it hasn't posed a problem yet! Now he wants to keep more of his money in the bank to see it grow, and I didn't have to say that specifically, which was the entire point.
A rule I did have to institute later though is that if he forgets to ask for his interest that evening, he doesn't get paid.
We also have to rely on his last bank receipt to calculate the amount owed because it appears impossible (at least here in Canada) to open an online account for a child his age.
Disagree. The point is to get the child to internalize the value of savings and investing. Silent accumulation of wealth (the point of investing as a adult) is useless from an educational point of view (the point the parent is making for their child). It also teaches the value of speaking up for what is due. Hats-off to matb for it, IMO.
We give our kids an allowance of sorts for chores above the basics. We also allow them to blow this money on "stupid crap". We once let them split a pack of candy at an ice rink, but they didn't have the money yet (we were traveling). Once everyone agreed that they'd buy it with their allowance, I bought it with them understanding that they needed to pay me back.
Later that weekend, it came time to pay their allowance. We could have easily paid them $2 each (the net), but it was far more effective to pay them $3 each and then make them physically pay us back the $1 each, even though it resulted in significant frustration and a more than a few tears now that the candy was gone.
I should clarify he does have a bank account (with his own Interac card) but no way to access it online. This is with TD Canada Trust. I don't imagine it's much different across other Canadian banks.
Edit: sorry, to actually answer your question, yeah they still have those -- they just call it Youth Account at TD
I ended up removing instances of try catch and also setTimeout 0 (or equivalent nextTick) in the promise library I use. Those two things caused me enough grief on several occasions to force my hand and modify the library's implementation. The setTimeout one especially baffled me... The straw that broke the camel's back for me was how it broke IndexedDB transactions
