What I Wish I'd Known About Equity Before Joining A Unicorn

Disclaimer: This piece is written anonymously. The names of a few particular companies are mentioned, but as common examples only.

This is a short write-up on things that I wish I'd known and considered before joining a private company (aka startup, aka unicorn in some cases). I'm not trying to make the case that you should never join a private company, but the power imbalance between founder and employee is extreme, and that potential candidates would

Notes

This code handles any JS runtime error during rendering React components. Without this handling, once an error occurs, whole component tree is damaged and can't be used at all. With this handling, nothing will be rendered in production environment (error span in dev env.) + in production the error is logged to Sentry (if you are not using it just delete related code)
This is basicaly a workaround for proposed feature in React core - described in Issue: facebook/react#2461
Works for all variants of Component creation - React.createClass, extending React.Component and also stateless functional components.
To get this work, just put this snippet into your entry js file. Then it will work in whole application.
Also supporting React Hot Reload!

The introduction to Reactive Programming you've been missing

Deploying a subfolder to GitHub Pages

Sometimes you want to have a subdirectory on the master branch be the root directory of a repository’s gh-pages branch. This is useful for things like sites developed with Yeoman, or if you have a Jekyll site contained in the master branch alongside the rest of your code.

For the sake of this example, let’s pretend the subfolder containing your site is named dist.

Step 1

Remove the dist directory from the project’s .gitignore file (it’s ignored by default by Yeoman).

	import React from 'react';
	import Rx from 'rxjs/Rx';
	import { observeComponent, fromComponent } from 'observe-component/rxjs';

	// Create the component with the listeners we want
	const TextArea = observeComponent('onInput')('textarea');

	export default class MyComponent extends React.Component {
	constructor() {
	super();

	import { Component, PropTypes } from 'react'
	import { noop } from 'lodash'
	import raf from 'raf'

	const cache = new Map()

	export function createNonBlockingRenderLoop({ key, concurrencyLevel = 1 }) {
	if (cache.has(key)) {
	return cache.get(key)
	}

	apt-get install ipython
	apt-get install python-pip
	pip install selenium
	mkdir /root/bin
	cd /root/bin
	wget https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases/download/v0.9.0/geckodriver-v0.9.0-linux64.tar.gz
	tar -xvzf geckodriver-v0.9.0-linux64.tar.gz
	rm geckodriver-v0.9.0-linux64.tar.gz
	chmod +x geckodriver
	cp geckodriver wires
