Reactionaries

Front-end

First up, another 🚨 actual good deal alert 🚨 for ya, this time focused on React. If you're keen on building real-time apps with React, Wes Bos' React for Beginners course is the way to learn how [reactforbeginners]. Enter 'VERSIONING' at checkout for 25% off. Actually, enter 'VERSIONING' at every checkout you come to, even physical ones, just to see what happens.

GitHub Polls [gh-polls.netlify] are a thing you can use to vote on issues and readmes. Kinda crazy an official version of this doesn't exist yet.

 

Let's Get Ethical

Design/UX/product

How to handle being overwhelmed as someone new to UX design [uxplanet]. Nothing about subscribing to Versioning though, which is weird.

Keep it simple, stupid [medium/@carinecarmy]. Sorry, you're not stupid, but you should still keep things simple. *stage-whisper* "… stupid…"

Wired sits down with some guy named… Barack…? to discuss AI, self-driving cars and the future [wired].

Hmm, this is relevant to my life: the medicare card details of all Australians are up for sale on the dark web [smh]. I'm just a resident, so I assume I'm completely fine and have nothing to worry about.

You had me at "controversial supernova discovery" [quantamagazine].

To the Victor, Go the Spoilers

Everything else

There's a pretty good little Product Hunt thread going on about everyone's favorite newsletters [producthunt]. I wonder if any that we're familiar with are on there? Probably not, right?

If you need a break from work this fun game is just the ticket: it's a boring office job simulator [pippinbarr]. As the game's description suggests, once the robots have taken over we'll need things like this to pass the time.

If you saw the reports of an upcoming car-straddling elevated bus in China and thought to yourself, "that seems like a terrible idea in every way," you can rest assured: it's a scam [arstechnica].

There you have it everyone. A newsletter by the name of Versioning for a day by the name of Thursday. I'll be back tomorrow with more links than you can shake a stick at. Side-note, don't shake sticks, no one's into that and it's a weird, off-putting thing to do. I'll spend the next 24-ish hours as I always do, simulating work. In the game! In the game, I promise. I do actual real work at the office, honestly.
