JavaScript is the English of programming: Ubiquity by circumstance
My thoughts on why English and JavaScript share many similarities. (This is a reading of an article I published by the same name)
I code in JS every day and my native language is English, this episode follows the parallels between these two behemoth languages, the good and the bad.

Should I support Internet Explorer in 2019?
The web is a compatibility marvel, we can still view websites from the dawn of the internet with minimal hiccups and that's amazing. A 20 year old site will continue to work for the foreseeable future without modification, that can't be said for every piece of technology.
You may not think about it but web compatibility can be tricky, especially when building a website where you want to use the latest features the web has to offer while trying to support older browsers. This is exacerbated by Internet Explorer and the non-standard legacy it's left the web with.
In this episode I want to explore whether, as a business or web developer, you need to support Internet Explorer or simply ignore it. The answer will depend on your specific scenario, who your users are and how they use your site. Using data in a smart way is key to deciding how to approach compatibility for old and/or pesky browsers.
This episode of Coding with Seth is based on an article I wrote in 2017, you can check that out here:

Efficiently Rendering Lists in React with react-window
Although React is fast, you can still run into performance issues in certain scenarios. One common scenario is when rendering large lists of data, an easy way to overcome this issue is to use a virtualised list. This is the same technique which is often used on native mobile apps but we can take advantage of it on the web quickly and easily with react-window.
- Play with the React Window Demo to see how the example compares with and without virtualisation.
