If you are a lead in any capacity your primary job is no longer to be the best coder in the room. Your job is to invest in learning the skills you need to effectively communicate and grow those you lead. Your words have the potential to sit with people for years, act accordingly.

There is no compression algorithm for experience.

@thomasnield9727 glad you’re tackling v2. Writing a book is a lot of work. Good luck!

@thomasnield9727 I prefer Observable.create in almost all other situations as it remains lazy, cancellable, composable, etc.

@thomasnield9727 really the only reason to explicitly use a subject is to expose an imperative input source to eagerly publish events to.

@thomasnield9727 with Observable (pure push), they are useful in some cases but honestly are generally not appropriate and cause grief.

@thomasnield9727 with Flowable, basically never. As they are both an input and multicast output, they only properly work with pure push.

@thomasnield9727 Subjects and pure push Observables work well together. The Flowable style with request(n) does not.

@thomasnield9727 with a pure push Observable, replay and multicast behavior are easily implemented by sinking to the appropriate Subject.

@thomasnield9727 if you go back to before request-n flow control, replay was only done via the ReplaySubject.

@thomasnield9727 Observable operators don’t do multicast, Subjects do. So operators all have to exist before another Subject to multicast.
