Sorry - I was busy fixing the kitchen after the small fire yesterday ... bloody new storage heaters ...

No, I turned it on Tuesday for the first time and when I got back from dropping Herself off at work Wednesday morning the kitchen was lightly full of smoke. No sign of flames or a source, so I turned it off, opened all the windows and moved the sofa bed away from the radiator.
When the air had cleared I turned it back on and no sign of smoke for a couple of hours, or today. So it could be it was just full of dust and just heated it then blew it into the room, or the foam in the sofa got too hot.
I spent this morning reorganising so nothing flammable was near the radiator - and it's all heavy stuff to shift on your own!
No mains gas on the Ynys, so we're all electric heating. New, more efficient rads were installed this summer, but this was the first "in anger" usage, so I'm not too worried about fire risk, just taking sensible precautions.
I'd dump the sofabed - we never use it - but ... Herself.

Are you near Harlech ?

No, we're just south of the Brecon Beacons.
It's called the Ynys because it was between the river and the canal, before the latter was replaced with a (very necessary) town bypass.

Has anyone read the book "Modern Front-end Architecture" by Ryan Lanciaux?
I would like to hear your opinions about it.

Pardon me if I'm sounding ignorant but when I think about front-end that complex that it needs architecture I'm starting to become horrified thinking about the amount of javasrcipt transferred over the wire. Let alone the cases when some language like typescript or fable is compiled into js and introduces it's own additional code.

Good point.
Thank you

What I find amusing is when I create all these interfaces in TypeScript and it literally compiles down to a "no implementation" file in Javascript.

I'm hoping they mean "framework" rather than architecture.
Architecture is meant to be seen, it's the visible façade upon a framework.

You are right...
Thanks

It's 126 pages; so it's either very good or very bad. Component-based architecture. Nothing wrong with that.

Looking at the other comments (and they have a point), probably it is the second.
We'll see. I found it at work, so I will have a look.

I used to collect technical books. Then I moved a lot and realized what a pain it was. Besides, I'd peruse a book once and then it would collect dust.
I will make exceptions for certain books, but for the most part google is now my book.

Oh lord, the TOC looks totally lame.
The only saving thing is that it seems to be so high level and abstract that it won't be obsolete next week.
