    It's actually neither. :) We have a shared development environment with a persistent (and thus deterministic) dataset. So when one developer runs a query against that dataset, anot…

    Hey folks — this post got a great reception on the reactjs subreddit yesterday. Someone suggested I post this as a Show HN, and I think it's a great idea. I'd be happy to answer an…

    This is useful, but I am not sure at scale (i.e. a constellation of micro-services working together) I would want some of this functionality abstracted behind a library. I prefer g…

    The absence of a clear response indicates to me that the brass is currently weighing the pros and cons of admitting there was a problem. This is the sort of thing where those who r…

    Cause and effect: A statistically insignificant number of fires in Teslas caused a disproportionate amount of news coverage (there was much less news coverage about Tesla's best-ev…

    The shame of all of this noise is that resources going into medical research today ends up getting spent on data security and building expensive, custom solutions that avoid using …

    It's not reasonable to say that the Model S has a 25x increased change of catching fire. The sample size is orders of magnitude too small (there were 3 instances so far?). Put simp…

    Right on. In our particular case, we have an API that's fairly well built-out, so I would probably toy around with this on the next side project. Rather than having a 100% there so…

    It's an interesting product as a tool for documentation, but where it gets really useful is that next step (presumably to come) where the structured content is not only used to moc…

    Agreed. JavaScript is the top language on github by a margin ( https://github.com/languages ), and some of the other languages you listed aren't really intended for web apps natura…

    +1. Communication and professionalism are your best bet, here. It's amazing how often engineers think the managers know all these things, as if they've mentioned it a million times…

    To me, the disappointing thing about this spoof is that it treats the engineers on this platform like "code monkies." One of the biggest gripes from top tier engineers is that they…

    I would learn from them. I am sure they are going to make as many mistakes as they make great decisions. Having someone out there with funding figuring out the space can be a real …

    I'm surprised that so many of the comments/replies to this post accept the premise that programmers are underpaid and don't get respect. Everyone I know who writes code is making a…
