Как обучить школьников работать в группах проектирования с помощью многоплатных проектов

Во время Холодной Войны существовало клише что якобы в США все индивидуалисты, а в СССР - коллективисты. С клише была неувязочка: в тот же период американский гуру менеджмента Питер Друкер писал одну за одной толстые книги, как организовывать работу коллективов людей в больших корпорациях. Его книги подхватили японцы, которые быстро применили идеи Друкера в своих компаниях и вышибли американцев из рынков микросхем памяти, бытовой электроники и автомобилей. Даже менеджер моего...

Добавили populate: { category: true } — появилась вложенная категория. Добавили fields: ['name'] внутри populate — категория пришла обрезанной. Один и тот же эндпоинт возвращает десятки разных форм, и статический TypeScript-интерфейс ни одну из них честно не описывает: он либо врёт (обещает поля, которых... Read more
