Something that is definitely very true today, and it was also true in 2013, is that developers want to work with open source tools. The tools developers choose to build their applications with are essentially how they're building their career. Those tools are going to be line items in their resume that says, I know this technology, I can build with these tools. So realistically, they want to adopt open source because they can take that from job to job, company to company and from cloud provider to cloud provider.

React.js and React Native are popular open source platforms for developing user interfaces (UIs); both rank well for desirability and use in StackOverflow's 2019 Developer Survey. React.js was developed by Facebook in 2011 as a JavaScript library to address the need for cross-platform, dynamic, and high-performing UIs, while React Native, which Facebook released in 2015, is used for building native applications using JavaScript.

In the UTF-8 files I audit, the only invisible characters I expect to see... er... not see... are whitespace, horizontal tab and linefeed. All others I call "gremlins".

Less evil gremlins lurk inside apparently OK strings and cause the strings to be processed weirdly. This post explains a new script that locates and visualises gremlins in tab-separated tables.

I recently read a survey on StackOverflow that said more than 49% of developers use Node.js for their projects. This came as no surprise to me. As an avid user of technology, I think it's safe to say that the introduction of Node.js led to a new era of software development. It is now one of the most preferred technologies for software development, right next to JavaScript.

The board I am using is the IBase 918f-1605 to install Linux. Linux can be installed from a stock ISO, but the system does not perform as well unless using a special Linux kernel from AMD. It also helps to have the proper GPU driver for performance. Stability is much better with the AMD kernel they provide on their website.
