Same problem as Twitter/Facebook: little to no barrier to entry, endless bots and politically motivated low-value posters.

You know those isolated tribes throwing spears at helicopters? You're them.

The Putinbots - they're HEEEEERE!

Except that they don't. Account identity and authentication being outsourced to Facebook means your community maintainers don't get to notice the fact that those 100 MAGA-spouting …

Let's revisit this in 2020. I have a strange feeling that React will still be heavily used (though maybe encroached by some future framework, you are correct about the changing lan…

I appreciate your attempt, but we don't need any more astronaut-architects. We have the tools. It's 2017 and high time for JavaScript tooling to finally slow down a bit and settle …

Another "timely" delayed FUD release from WikiLeaks.

Administrators and community moderation who pay attention to their own access logs rather than ambiguous Facebook Review Teams who look the other way.

If you're taking this personally, you're not going to develop personally from the critical engagement. Remove your ego from the discussion.

Opinion: the industry doesn't equate with reality. Pointy-haired MBAs with some PHP background would tell you otherwise, but there's a whole wide world out there.

Speed isn't everything. How permissive is the parser? We look for a compromise here.

Found the guy for whom C was too intimidating!

Very glad they're supporting 2.7! Hope we'll stick with it for a while yet. 3.x derailed that language :(

Apparently it's too soon for criticism? I'm not sure what fads have to do with it, other than fads being convenient to minimize or dismiss; this piece of elegant sandpaper is for e…

hey chummer, show me your elegant repos will ya?

Start-up managers don't want a "master carpenter." They want a replaceable journeyman who smacks a few nails and strings together a few prefabricated solutions. There are pros and …

Amen. "Everybody can code" is toxic thinking. If you can't chisel down a problem without importing half of NPM and a sprawling tour of GitHub/StackOverflow, then you are part of th…
