Putting Redux state management into an Angular 1.

Putting Redux state management into an Angular 1.0 app. This would go even better if the app scrapped using directives in favour of “components” which are a recent addition to Angular 1.0.

With Redux handling the business logic and by relegating Angular to the position of “view provider” this would make the process of migrating to Angular 2.0 easier (or for that matter, migrating to something else entirely such as: Vue, React, Aurelia etc.)

Sam Kriss.

Sam Kriss. This essay starts well but seriously veers off into the weeds when he engages Yonatan Zunger​​​​​​​’s argument. Rather than representing a class position I’d simply say that some people tend to arrange things they see within a “systems” framework. This doesn’t necessarily lead to conspiratorial thinking, if anything it could lead to just the opposite.

Systems thinking is certainly a common feature of computer programmers and scientists but its a personality type not a class. It’s also perfectly appropriate starting point for a materialist analysis of the world. There’s nothing about seeing the world as a trade off between conflicting interests that is incompatible with a systems way of thinking, for example.

That said, Silicon Valley and the arrogance of its new class of tech billionaires is a worthy target for derision. Just lay off working programmers.

“The ‘white working class’ used to provoke mainly a form of sentimental nostalgia and patronising endearment. It was a tea towel memory, a commodity, not something that had real influence. But the terror arising from this wave of global reaction is producing an interesting anti-democratic backlash amongst liberal-minded opinion-formers.”
