Hacker News API is not well designed
14 by happppy | 14 comments on Hacker News.
Last night, I thought why not develop a HN clone in react and when I looked at API, Oh my goodness. It is not well designed at all, like passing 400 ids, just ids. And to get posts we have to make requests to get single post detail to show 10 or 20 posts on a page. Well, react helped me a bit like storing ids in array and using splice to get next 10 items and so on.

Or why is it hard to get a decent raise? In my experience it is pretty much industry standard to favour new employees versus old ones, but to me it does not make any business sense (apart from showing who is boss). It cost time and money to cover for turnover and still new employees can be hit and miss. Also, they most probably need some form of training and it will be years until they have the same experience.
