JavaScript hacks for hipsters Here’s a photo of non-JavaScripter, non-hacker, non-ES6er, non-hipster on a PacMan background: Photo by on Erik Lucatero Unsplash Hipster Hack #1 — Swap variables Using to swap values Array Destructuring let a = 'world', b = 'hello'[a, b] = [b, a]console.log(a) // -> helloconsole.log(b) // -> world // Yes, it's magic Hipster Hack #2 — Async/Await with Destructuring Once again, is great. Combined with and promises to make a complex flow — simple. Array Destructuring async/await const [user, account] = await Promise.all([fetch('/user'),fetch('/account')]) Hipster Hack #3 — Debugging For anyone who likes to debug using s, here’s something awesome (and yes, I heard of ): console.log console.table const a = 5, b = 6, c = 7console.log({ a, b, c }) // outputs this nice object:// {//    a: 5,//    b: 6,//    c: 7// } Hipster Hack #4 — One liners Syntax can be so much more compact for array operations // Find max valueconst max = (arr) => Math.max(...arr);max([123, 321, 32]) // outputs: 321 // Sum arrayconst sum = (arr) => arr.reduce((a, b) => (a + b), 0)sum([1, 2, 3, 4]) // output: 10 Hipster Hack #5 — Array concatenation The spread operator can be used instead of : concat const one = ['a', 'b', 'c']const two = ['d', 'e', 'f']const three = ['g', 'h', 'i'] // Old way #1const result = one.concat(two, three) // Old way #2const result = [].concat(one, two, three) // Newconst result = [...one, ...two, ...three] Hipster Hack #6 — Cloning Clone arrays and objects with ease: const obj = { ...oldObj }const arr = [ ...oldArr ] Update: As mentioned in the comments — this is a shallow clone. Hipster Hack #7 — Named parameters Making function and function calls more readable with destructuring: const getStuffNotBad = (id, force, verbose) => {...do stuff}const getStuffAwesome = ({ id, name, force, verbose }) => {...do stuff} // Somewhere else in the codebase...

Hacking is not about security.

The World Economic Forum (WEF) 2023 is an annual meeting with political leaders, business executives, cultural trendsetters, and international organization chiefs to discuss and tackle pressing global issues. This is the first conference that has happened in person since January 2020. The rest have been happening virtually due to the covid-19 pandemic. The main agenda of WEF 2023 is the cost of living, a tight labor market, natural disasters, extreme weather events, how to prevent a global recession in 2023, and the resurgence of COVID-19 infections. The general theme is to discuss the future of the planet. According to the WEF founder Klaus Schwab, the conference’s main goal is “cooperation in a fragmented world.” He believes that world leaders, who are WEF stakeholders, can seize the opportunity and turn the crisis into an opportunity. Although the organizers had set key themes, the conference ended up covering different aspects of key themes. This includes metaverse control, online censorship, and financial centralization. Metaverse Control There is no doubt that the metaverse is considered a global virtual village. In the conference, the discussion was between Microsoft and Accenture, both WEF members who have devoted interest in the metaverse. According to Klaus, the metaverse is a dream come true for WEF as it allows WEF to focus on bottom-up instead of top-down influence. The panel got a lot of engagement from young global leaders and Global Shapers. According to Klaus, there’s already a Consortium of more than 80 so-called Village Partners. Accenture believes the value of the metaverse will grow to more than one trillion dollars by 2025. This is primarily because of the adoption by Enterprise and Industrial focused firms that will use the metaverse to train employees. Accenture also hopes that the metaverse will become a key component in children’s education. Klaus said that the WEF would ensure that the metaverse is governed to maximize the safety of its inhabitants. It works with over 100 companies to ensure WEF is accessible to all. The metaverse initiative, “governance of the metaverse and the metaverse economy,” was officially launched in May 2022. Online Censorship The main theme for this was the danger of disinformation. The panel moderators were parties from CNN and New York Times. According to Arthur, the New York Times chairman, disinformation is the core of every problem WEF tries to solve. Distrust in institutions is the most dangerous threat. Arthur also stressed that the only way to fix the issues of disinformation and distrust is for governments to partner with mainstream media. Vera Jova, the vice president of the European Commission, advocated for “pre-bunking.” This is where you prevent or discourage people from posting anything against the official narrative. Vera added that the EU’s Digital Services act would make it impossible for fake news outlets to receive funding. The only short-term solution is to promote information from trusted sources and suppress everything else. This is what the EU’s Digital Services act does in the event of a crisis. Financial Centralization Bloomberg moderated the crypto discussion, and the conversation was so anti-crypto. There were discussions that financial centralization is required to protect against unwanted volatility. ESG investing has been hard because most environmentally conscious companies are Grassroots startups that need more funding. There were discussions about why crypto criminals presumably escape to the UAE. Centralizing crypto will help WEF to have control over the industry, but the crypto industry will actively resist regulation. There was a revelation that the EU’s upcoming Mica regulations will not stifle Innovation but prevent crypto from becoming a wild west class. As much as WEF covered many things, it is clear that the crypto industry will be affected. There is clarity that we are moving towards online censorship and centralization. In conclusion, the World Economic Forum 2023 in Davos was a wake-up call for leaders and stakeholders to take action on pressing global issues. The discussions on metaverse control, online censorship, and financial centralization should be of utmost concern as they have the potential to shape our future in ways we cannot yet imagine. The outcome of the conference serves as a warning to all that we must act quickly and act now.

WEF 2023 Summary: Metaverse Control, Online Censorship, and Financial Centralization

There is a common belief among techies these days that with the arrival of AI and algorithms, professions such as those that of artists are becoming extinct. This is a misconception. Art made by AI or algorithmic art is certainly beautiful, unique and in some cases, novel but it is still not capable of replacing traditional art. Why? Art Made By AI Is Derivative Algorithmic art is always derivative. That's not to say that the algorithms can't produce exceptional and distinctive images. Not in the least. My personal favorite are the images produced by the algorithm. Deep Art When a person says 'Algorithmic art is derivative', he or she is countered by the question: 'Isn't human art also derivative?' But human art is not derivative, since it comes from some thought, idea or inspiration, traits unique to humans. (Does it matter when one is buying a painting from Walmart? Well, that depends.) If you just want something pretty to look at in your house, then no it probably doesn't matter. In fact, it would probably be the cheaper option, although right now AI art is not cheap. But if you really want to understand art and what the artist is trying to say—because art is not just about the art itself—it's a medium of expression—or are interested in finding something , then it matters. actually new Because artists are always inventors and innovators, just of a different kind. It is not Intentional A while ago I came across a discussion on Twitter on AI and art. One tweet posed a question: Should AI get credit for creativity if it produces art, or is it just a tool like a glass of wine? My personal opinion is No. It should not get credit. AI certainly deserves credit for the hard work in algorithmic art, but creativity? Are the AI systems which make art creative? What are AI systems? AI systems are programs and sets of instructions which learn from previous data and keep repeating instructions until a certain condition is reached. In terms of art, sometimes the final image they produce is a derivative of an old one and can be seen as such. Other times, the final image is still a derivative but the resultant image, as seen by the viewer, looks nothing like the original. This is purely chance and is not calculated either by the AI system  or the programmer since neither had control over the final image. One could argue that the credit for creativity should go to the programmer since he wrote the program, and this too is an area under serious debate. However others point out that having written the program he has no control or idea or inclination about what the possible end result might be. In that case he might get the credit for creating the program but credit for creating the art should not go to him. Not For Investment Purposes Mass production can be a blessing or a curse. When you mass produce you renounce your right to be exclusive. Even if you don't choose to mass produce but you have the ability to do so, then you are no longer unique. Traditionally the art that was made was valuable because, quite apart from things like the artist's fame, style of painting etc, the artwork created was one of its kind. Even when forgeries were made of famous artwork the price of the original did not drop. Additionally since the artwork was hand-made even the best forgeries were eventually identified due to differences in methodology, brushstrokes, style, paints used etc. However the same cannot be said of algorithmic art. Since algorithms are basically code—depending on who owns the rights to the code—it can be mass produced. Even if it's not, it can be stolen, which need not be discovered until the stolen artwork is resold. The stolen code in turn does not need to be altered in any way in order to reproduce and sell another of the same painting. This makes it an original. The continuous reproduction and reselling would dramatically plummet the price of the original. So my question is, if a work of art is derivative instead of original in that it has nothing to say, has no real creator since we're still arguing about where or whom the real credit belongs to and has no real investment value, why is it a work of art at all? And if it's not, why do some say the profession of 'artist' will soon go extinct?

But Is It Art?—AI and the Algorithms vs. Artists Debate

Every so often, a tech stack decision that once felt right starts to show its limits—like realizing just how inefficient a screwdriver is after using a power drill. That’s been the case with HackerNoon’s use of Styled Components. For years, it served us well—offering scoped styles, dynamic theming, and full control within our React components. But as our codebase evolved and tools like Tailwind CSS matured, it became clear that a change was overdue. This post is a breakdown of our shift from Styled Components to Tailwind CSS, why we made the move, how I approached the transition, and what the process has looked like so far. If you're working with legacy styles or considering Tailwind for your own projects, hopefully this gives you something useful (or at least relatable) to walk away with. Why HackerNoon Originally Used Styled Components I wasn’t part of the team when Styled Components was first chosen to handle our CSS, but at the time, Tailwind CSS hadn’t even been released, and Styled Components made a lot of sense for HackerNoon’s front-end architecture. It allowed developers to write CSS directly within JavaScript, making components fully self-contained. This approach felt very “React-native” in nature—encapsulated, reusable, and, at the time, thought to be easier to maintain across a growing codebase and team. The dynamic styling capabilities, built-in theming support, and ability to pass props directly into styles worked especially well for the wide variety of pages and layouts we were building. For a long time, Styled Components served HackerNoon well. What Made Us Consider Switching to Tailwind? Over time, our codebase grew—and so did the complexity of managing styles. Styled Components gave us flexibility, but that came at a cost: larger bundle sizes, runtime performance hits, and a cluttered component structure filled with increasingly long styled blocks. It was getting harder to trace styles or reuse them effectively without duplicating code. We also noticed many of our styles were repeating across components. That’s when Tailwind CSS started to make a lot of sense. The utility-first approach felt like a way to streamline everything—from layout to responsiveness and even theming. But let’s be real: for a small dev team like HackerNoon’s, the idea of refactoring a massive codebase line by line felt like a huge undertaking. Still, we couldn’t ignore how widely Tailwind was being adopted in the dev community. We wanted in. How I Made the Switch The hardest part of this switch? Setup. Installing Tailwind was straightforward, but once it was active, Tailwind’s global styles—thanks to Preflight—started clashing with our existing components. Styles were broken left and right. A lifesaver here was setting preflight: false in the tailwind.config.js file. That move disabled most of Tailwind’s base resets, which brought back some order. Sure, there were still minor styling issues to fix, but things looked less like a war zone. From there, I had to establish new conventions—how we’d handle global styles, reuse classes, and build theme-aware components with Tailwind. Once that foundation was laid, I was ready to build. And here's the part I’m still amazed by: AI made this process actually enjoyable. Refactoring thousands of lines of code solo would’ve been madness. But I used ChatGPT to convert our styled components into Tailwind one at a time. For simple components—layouts, spacing, structure—it was a breeze. Just paste, tweak, and go. Now, let me be honest: AI didn’t get everything right. More complex, themed components still required manual coding and plenty of hours. But having a solid base to start from made things so much easier. Tailwind’s documentation also helped fill the gaps, and once I fully embraced the utility class mindset, things started to click. What the Migration Looks Like So Far I’m happy to say Tailwind is now live on HackerNoon! 🎉 As of now, the HackerNoon Homepage is fully converted to Tailwind CSS, with Styled Components completely removed. Most of the other pages still rely on Styled Components, and they’ll be converted gradually—one component, one page at a time. This slower approach has actually been a blessing. Refactoring each component gave me the opportunity to revisit and improve the design and structure of our pages. Alongside the Tailwind conversion, we introduced a more modern UI, better layout usage, new components, and even a custom-built theme picker that puts our old theming system to shame. After working at HackerNoon for over 4 years, I feel reignited diving into our codebase again. Tailwind has made building fun again. It’s clean, consistent, and powerful—and I’m excited to keep pushing the conversion forward. Who knows? Maybe soon, we’ll be deleting styled-components from our package.json for good. 😉 Final Tailwinding Thoughts The move to Tailwind CSS wasn’t just about swapping out a styling library—it was about modernizing our frontend workflow, embracing consistency, and simplifying development. While Styled Components helped shape HackerNoon’s interface during a critical growth phase, Tailwind is giving us the flexibility, speed, and maintainability we need as we continue to scale. It’s still a work in progress—our app still has plenty of Styled Components—but seeing Tailwind live on our homepage and in newly refactored components has been incredibly rewarding. The fact that I can pair AI with my own expertise to refactor faster has made this transition feel not only doable but exciting. HackerNoon is evolving, and our styles are evolving with it.

Introduction Introduction I guess I’ve always been a Frank Sinatra’s my-way-kind-of-a-man who has followed his instincts in both private and professional life. I obtained an academic degree in 2003 and, as one of the top 30 students in my country, I had a promise of a career as a lawyer or public prosecutor. However, after only a few years, I decided to leave it all behind and start a new career in sales from scratch. That was a decision that shocked my family, friends, and former colleagues. Yet, I followed my way persistently and with no hesitation. As a result, I advanced from a rookie salesman to a position of sales director for the joint markets of a handful of neighboring countries in the SEE (South-East-Europe) region. The intensity of the business decision-making process, frequent business trips, and constant pressure took their toll on me. I ended up with an alarming diagnosis of prediabetes and high blood pressure. That was the moment that I realized I had to make the most important decision in my life. I entered the world of freelancing in 2012, and I haven’t regretted it ever since. How Did You Start Writing? At the very beginning, I treated freelancing as a temporary solution. My plan was to take a break from the unhealthy corporate lifestyle and then get back big time when I recharge my batteries. The truth was, though, that the more I worked as a freelance writer, the more I liked it. I kept postponing my big comeback in the 9-to-5 business world. My very first project was worth just $2! However, a few years later, I was making a thousand times more. That was the moment when I began to examine and accept freelancing as a phenomenon from a completely different perspective. Writing helped me to focus on my health and spend more time with my family. How Has Technology Impacted The Way You Write? In tech we trust, writing is a must. That’s just me being me. I love writing about tech. As a GenXer, I feel like a time traveler. I’ve come a long way from analog to the digital world. I don’t take things for granted. I resisted the AI temptations, and the only thing I changed was the introduction of Grammarly as my writing companion in 2016. The world of tech innovations has always been my source of inspiration for new writing ideas. The way things are now, and always developing, my writing guns are never going to run out of ammo. Share About Your Journey Highlights? I have to say that I feel privileged to be able to witness some of the most important tectonic changes in the freelance industry first-hand. Back then, we had a half dozen of serious business players in this field, such as Elance, oDesk, Freelancer, Guru, vWorker, among others. Then, Freelancer acquired vWorker, while almost at the same time, Elance and goDesk merged into a new platform - Upwork. The freelance landscape has been completely and irrevocably changed. The “New Freelance World Order” was born with room for only two freelance superpowers: Freelancer and Upwork. The brave new freelance world hasn't become a happy and enjoyable place for freelancers. The major freelance platforms have completely transformed themselves into multimillion-dollar businesses. Unfortunately, while doing so, they have totally forgotten the basic principles of freelancing that drove so many people to this industry in the first place. Upwork lost touch with reality. I'm talking about the reality of an average Joe freelancer, who's doing his or her best to make it in the freelance world that has become extremely competitive and disappointingly merciless. I’ve been writing for more than ten years about the original founding freelance principles: freedom, fairness, and equality. We need to be reminded of these principles. We need to go back to the freelance basics that have been forgotten and trapped under the corporate greed that has nothing to do with the genuine concept of freelancing. What’s Your Creative Process? I’ve never looked for a story. Stories have always had a way of finding me. I’m not writing but rather answering the questions that don’t allow me to sleep and eat. I feel restless until I answer the calling of a story that just appears out of nowhere when and where I expect it the least. Research feels like walking, and writing feels like running. The finish line is HackerNoon. It’s an endless race when I say to myself: OK, I’m done with this story. Tomorrow is a new day and the time for a new story. I never choose when and what I’m going to write about. Someone or something else does it for me. I carry the stories with and inside me. I write introductions and conclusions in my head before I even turn on my laptop. I mastered the skills of blind typing. When you type almost one word per second, you’re surprised when you look back at what you wrote. It’s almost like playing a piano. Very often, I’m not even aware of what I just typed. It’s a creative chaos full of unexpected twists and ideas out of this world at the last moment. And yes, I love it. Your Favorite Memory/Article(s) to This Day? HackerNoon has always supported my writing regardless of controversies as long as my claims and findings were thoroughly researched and supported by rock-solid publicly available sources and facts. The most rewarding research and writing journey began with the introduction of "connects" during the Upwork Inc (UPWK) Q1 2019 Earnings Call in May 2019. Here's a link to my article that can save you time going through the transcript of this Earnings Call. You will see two crucial quotes from that acting CEO. One initial article led to the entire series of stories about fake accounts, reviews, and jobs on Upwork. We can never know for sure what the exact percentage or number of these fake “elements” that are the core substance of every freelance platform is. article article If you’re asking me, for a freelance platform that claims it is “the largest global freelancing website,” even one fake account, review, or job is too many. I wrote and provided evidence for each claim about fake Upwork accounts, reviews, and jobs. Fake jobs are the worst and the most problematic component of this Upwork "fake trilogy" because they provided the safe harbor for scammers that exploded in numbers hand-in-hand with the connects system. accounts accounts reviews reviews Fake jobs Fake jobs Upwork officially admitted that it was caught red-handed posting fake jobs, offered an "explanation," and has done nothing about it until this day. My work caught the attention of Mashable journalists, who reached out to me for comments. officially admitted that it was caught red-handed posting fake jobs officially admitted that it was caught red-handed posting fake jobs Todorovic, a Serbian writer who has blogged about many of Upwork’s changes over the years, elaborated on his case when I reached out to him. To him, those Connects are the lynchpin. In a follow-up post to the "fake job farm" one, Todorovic shares a screenshot where an Upwork community mod acknowledges the uptick in job post anomalies freelancers like Todorovic had noticed.

Share With Us About Your Experience With HackerNoon. I wrote about my HackerNoon journey. I was one of the first verified writers. To this day, after more than a hundred published stories, not once have I used this direct publishing privilege because of the way I feel about HackerNoon editors. I wrote about my HackerNoon journey. my HackerNoon journey the way I feel about HackerNoon editors What Have You Learnt From Your Journey? HackerNoon is my home. My portfolio. My pride. I remember the days when other publications didn’t even want to take my controversial stories into consideration. No story of mine was too controversial to be published on HackerNoon. The option to combine memes, pictures, video content, code, and AI-generated visual elements is unique and unparalleled in the publishing industry. HackerNoon is not my first or last writing stop, but it is the only and exclusive one. If you like what and how I write, look me up on HackerNoon. No story of mine was too controversial to be published on HackerNoon. Final Thoughts On October 14, 2018, I published my first story on HackerNoon. That day has become my “second Bday,” if you get my meaning. I’m sure you do. I published a special story: My Six Years of Writing on HackerNoon in Numbers and Pictures. When I’m feeling down, I go through my stories and HackerNoon memories. I feel better. Nietzsche said, “Without music, life would be a mistake.” I say the same about HackerNoon. Tech stories are my music, and a keyboard is my piano. My Six Years of Writing on HackerNoon in Numbers and Pictures
