Nicolas Fränkel ☛ A short history of AJAX and SSR
My journey in programming began over two decades ago, a time when JavaScript was a far cry from its current state, and developers were primarily focused on Microsoft Internet Explorer. One of my proudest achievements back then was writing a few lines of code that allowed users to add and remove table rows entirely on the client side. We called it DHTML. Many developers today have forgotten about it—or never knew it existed.
A few years later, AJAX emerged, revolutionizing the way we approached web development. The emergence of AJAX marked a significant shift in web development, transferring more logic from the server to the client, and this shift was not without reason.

When working with data provided by common APIs you will almost always get in contact with JSON formatted data. Using R’s rjson::fromJSON will transform JSON to R’s lists. So far so good. Converting those lists to tibble using tibble::as_tibble will fail when the JSON (and therefor the list) contains NULL values. So you havve to replace them before building the tibble.

And Woz says when Apple went public, he gave tens of millions of his Apple stock to early Apple employees who’d come from the Homebrew Computer Club. “I just felt they deserved it as much as I did. Because that was really where all my inspiration came from.”
And he would also fly into computer clubs around the U.S., “because I wanted to tell them where Apple came from, where I came from: It was the Homebrew Computer Club.
