All true but there is still quite a bit of inefficiency involved if you need a team that is both proficient in deploying & running Linux infrastructure tools as well as Windows ser…

Many of us have .NET experience, really like C# but have sensible reasons for not recommending it. A Microsoft only stack is nowhere near as flexible as Linux and if you were to re…

This is one of the reasons I use Go in favour of pretty much anything running on the JVM stack. I don't have to change my workflow at all between working in Python, C, Go and JS. I…

Seems like you post a picture to it and it returns the colour palette used. Seems pretty useful if you're into that kind of thing.

Actually, it's not that uncommon for an Icelander to have a matronymic surname.

Of course you can, anything is possible, including convincing yourself Spring is as productive as Rails or Django :) Nothing against Java, it's the best tool for the job on many oc…

But you're not going to be able to build a Pintrest or a Instagram with 5 people in 2 years with Spring.

Or that it hasn't fixed the warts it has. I use Ruby rarely enough to really, really miss explicit imports. I guess it's not a problem if you use it all the time and magically know…
