What’s your ultimate argument for React in the ‘React vs Angular’?
React is evolving faster. New features, library improvements, performance improvements and tooling – it’s all evolving much faster.
React is a library, so you have only necessary tools to implement the page. But you can easily extend and add all necessary tooling for your project. It means you will add only the thing necessary for your project, not all the tools, as it is with Angular.
React is easier to understand so developers can start using it faster in commercial projects.
Which tech trend are you excited about the most as a software developer?
Quantum Computing and neural networks. Also VR, and, naturally, blockchain.
If you were to get unlimited funding for a mobile app, what would you build?
That would be some indie game.
What was your favorite childhood game and why?
It was a video game (dendi): Battletoads battle double dragon – one of the best games ever! When it comes to toys, transformers – it was so much fun to take a car and change into a robot! And as for regular games: hide and seek. I don’t know who wouldn’t love this game.
What's the most interesting thing you can see out of your home office window?
A construction of a new house. It’s so exciting to see how the house becomes bigger every day (also what’s better then having some tea and watching others work 😋)
