What’s GSAP?

Frontend animation library

The AEPs were originally based off Google AIPs, but we did a hard fork and have altered a lot since then. For one thing, the AIPs were entirely protobuf focused, while we're focusing equally on protobuf + OpenAPI.

The CRUD methods are great examples where we deviate from the AIPs.


I'm not convinced that any of these are solving API design problems.


I’ll make a plug for aep.dev, which is a collection of API design best practices and assorted tooling


Google has something similar:

https://google.aip.dev


AEP began its life as a fork of AIP! We’ve got a bunch of ex-Google folks on the project, including the former API Lead at Google.


Aside - where was the diagram made?


Looks like something one could make pretty easily with Excalidraw (https://excalidraw.com/) although the font seems slightly different.


Maybe not the case, but often that style was made using Excalidraw: https://excalidraw.com. Playing around in it, the font at least appears the same.


Haha, I had the same thought about the program and the opposite conclusion about the font! Many characters like g and p look similar, but the lower case t has a curl on the bottom in Excalidraw, and is straight in the article's diagram.

Edit: on second look, it is the same t. I saw some images in a search for Excalidraw with a different t, but when I tried the actual site it was the same. Sorry for the noise!


I'll reply here (because I simultaneously replied to your other comment but removed it). I also thought it was funny we had come to opposite conclusions based on the same data.

Type out "Bottom-up" in excalidraw, it matches perfectly. The lower case `t` has a curl on the bottom in the diagram too.

EDIT: Re Edit:

No worries about noise. I had a good chuckle with our near simultaneous replies which was nice after the way our project has been going this year.


Grades aren’t terribly important. Some companies (including notable ones) will filter those with lower than a certain GPA, but there’s always ways around that.

If you don’t have good grades, rely on your school name. If your school isn’t notable, projects are key.


These are the same kinds of communities are just being ravaged by brain drain. Their brightest students And their college graduates are being driven out of town from lack of opportunity.

Those are the people who businesses want to hire. Instead, Youngstown’s best chances of a brighter future are moving to Columbus nearby or the coasts to places that already have plenty of advantages.

Remote work could change this. But, these types of communities really need to embrace white-collar workers and not keep praying for a blue-collar comeback.


>But, these types of communities really need to embrace white-collar workers and not keep praying for a blue-collar comeback.

Lot easier said than done. Famously, Racine Wi tried to get legions of white collar workers. The result was similar to what we see outlined in this article. Only instead of spending millions to get blue collar jobs, in Wisconsin we spent hundreds of millions to billions to get white collar jobs. End result was the same, basically, a predictable crash and burn.

Here's reality. These places are a tough sell. And until these places are willing to accept the fact that they are a tough sell they will continue to be easy pickings for slick corporate attorneys in dark suits.


I’m still angry about that.


FWIW Youngstown has also placed some big economic development bets on white collar industries. Last I checked, the Youngstown Business Incubator had a solid success with at least one software company: https://www.google.com/search?q=turning+technologies&rlz=1C5...

There's also been a lot of work to nurture additive manufacturing businesses (https://ysu.edu/center-for-innovation-in-additive-manufactur...). A mixture of federal grants (partly from the Appalachian Regional Commission IIRC) and support from the university going into that.

But to your point of embracing white collar workers ... does that solve the problem economic development agencies are actually trying to solve? An interesting case study a few miles down the highway is Pittsburgh. There's been a much-hyped boom in high skilled tech jobs seeded by CMU (robotics, software startups) plus a relatively strong healthcare/biotech sector there. But that doesn't do much to replace the big swath of steel and manufacturing jobs that were around a generation ago. So average wages go up and there's probably _some_ trickle down benefits, but the new tech jobs don't do much for the median Pittsburgher whose parents/grandparents would have worked in the mills.


A lot of it has to do with credentialing. MOOC credentials aren’t worth the time investment.


Plus nobody cares about credentialing at all. What they do care about is solving problems, and it seems reasonable that 96% of problems become solvable with the course material provided before reaching the very end of a course. Once the problem is solved, there is little reason to continue.


You are generalizing. I am doing a MicroMaster in data science from MITx and they grant the equivalent credits of the first semester. It's worth something if I ever apply to a similar master program.


It's really cool to see a unicorn come out of Detroit. The area isn't known for tech, despite having the largest concentration of engineers in the country. Hopefully, more startups like StockX and Duo Security will shine light on the area as a tech hub.


That seems very unusual for a low CoL city. It seems like there's an unbelievably large gulf between high + low CoL cities (far more than CoL would account for)
