How easy, stable and scalable React is becoming
How to move people from traditional labor to tech. A large group of human kind is being left behind.

At Hacker Noon, we decided not to put good ideas behind pop-ups or paywalls — nor abuse your personal data to target you with creepy ads. We also decided that you don’t have to be an influencer or have 50k followers on Twitter to earn the recognition that comes with a 2020 Noonie Nomination.
