@BenLesh @milestech @angular i.e.

[Chris Camac @PilgrimSecret]

@BenLesh I've been teaching a technique @milestech where we just use an @angular service with BehaviorSubject (and some helper functions) to do light state management.

Works great honestly, and easy to follow and understand.

@holywolf232 I know... geez Microsoft.

At least they seem to be going in a better direction these days with vs code and net core.

[Chris Camac @PilgrimSecret]

Last night I established a mentorship with a budding programmer that "needs" to get out of a bad job in customer service.

I can really relate to that. I spent nearly 17 years in "sales" before being a programmer. For me, it was THE BEST professional decision of my life.

Broke into the old office ... This is where we use to code.

[Chris Camac @PilgrimSecret]

@holywolf232 @ngBuildPod Great call out.

Glad you liked the episode 😺

[Chris Camac @PilgrimSecret]

Just finished up a pair programming session with @JohnGrahamDev

So glad we have the opportunity for collaboration like that. Always learn something.

... and I get to take a break from my own skull-sized kingdom.

@shanselman that gif both makes me feel 'old' and 'not so old' simultaneously

[Chris Camac @PilgrimSecret]

@ladyleet I'd love to have that going on ... but I don't think I would survive it. I've had to go low calorie on everything. Guess I'll have to enjoy them vicariously.

[Chris Camac @PilgrimSecret]

@techpriest Do it. Everything everyone said plus... Never ever waiting for a patch. What is this downloading you speak of?

[Chris Camac @PilgrimSecret]

@holywolf232 @ngBuildPod Glad you were feeling motivated!

Yea, there are many exiciting ways to really tweek how the modules are loading. The optimization options seem to be near limitless.

[Chris Camac @PilgrimSecret]

@holywolf232 thanks again for the push in the right direction! 😉

[Chris Camac @PilgrimSecret]

TIL: of() and of(null) work differently with pipes

of().pipe(concatMap(...))
*does not* fire concatMap on subscribe

of(null).pipe(concatMap(...))
*does* fire concatMap on subscribe

I am guessing of() is just not a supported concept since its supposed to return something
#rxjs

[Chris Camac @PilgrimSecret]

@holywolf232 so looking closer at it, it's all because this line of code never gets hit, which I guess is the underlying thing to know about this ... if there is nothing in the off, it never says `.next` so it doesn't fire the pipes

https://t.co/xhQyKISJTJ

[Chris Camac @PilgrimSecret]

@holywolf232 I guess asking if it *is* or *is not* "supported" isn't really what I should be asking.

"should the developer expect that of() completes and will not fire subsequent pipes, but of(null) does fire them?"

I mean, I didn't tell it to complete.

What's the reasoning for this?

[Chris Camac @PilgrimSecret]

@holywolf232 wow! nice work. Love the example you provided.

[Chris Camac @PilgrimSecret]

@BenLesh can you shed any light on this?
