Eh, what's wrong with Rosetta Code? A metric ton of examples in a metric ton of languages. What's better about this one?

I wouldn't mind finding out who created and posted the videos..

How is this news? An app changed their icon..

If your product can be built entirely by "t-shaped" people, it's not a complex product. The thing about experts is that they're experts, an expert is INCREDIBLY good at one particu…

Sounds like a great project for you to learn a low level language, and some UX and GUI design at the same time. Game development is done in several languages and frameworks, so it'…

Super clickbaity... The dude had been prohibited from owning a gun after domestic abuse against his girlfriend. He tried to buy one anyway and failed a background check. He bought …

Before I click that link, what does it solve? What makes it different, better, than other admin template packs?

I made myself one of these a while back, but not as sleek looking. Nicely done :)

I've seen at least 4 or 5 posts about the VFEMail thing just today so I dinged this one when I saw it. No idea what's considered significant.

So many duplicated posts about this..

I know how it's done. Find a problem, solve it, charge for the solution. All you have to do is fill in the blanks :) It's not really tongue-in-cheek either, there are LOADS of book…

Didn't you know? If it isn't less than a month old, it's "the old way" :)

Yeah microservices is another one that suffers from the One Solution To Rule Them All mentality. They're GREAT when they're the right fit. Most websites aren't really a right fit a…

I'm not talking about the bloat of the framework itself but the code you write to use the framework. When you have 2mb worth of "React code" and the framework itself only takes up …

SPA isn't automatically the best solution for a page or site with frequent updates. The updates are handled by JavaScript and http calls. You can write a lot of that stuff in a doz…

2mb html file, + whatever else for initial load? That's only 1-2 seconds on a fast connection. If you have zero of that content cached locally and are on a mobile or just not-fast …

How is this amazing? We've been "server side rendering" since the inception of the internet. If you build your pages with CSS at the top and JS at the bottom you're already achievi…

There are two kinds of "Productive". There's my personal productivity, and there's the team/company productivity. When working on a team, you have to figure out what produces the b…
