A great idea for those who have no idea how to hire people!

Mob programming because they don't trust the individual developers to deliver by themselves, mob programming because no one has a clue there and they hope there is wisdom in the cr…

Ah Scotland, where vegetables is a deep fried battered chocolate bar, fruit is a can of irn bru, good weather is rain and wind, and copper wire was invented by two scots men fighti…

You would think docker would take all the help they can get, given how bad their current code base is. Maybe they should be "closing" their blog posts, and let real developers step…

But after we disrupted our pivot and enabled a sharing economy, we forgot what we were actually doing and when back to real jobs.

You know why we turn the sound off? Have you heard how whiny and self righteous millennials are?

I remember interviewing for a search company, but then found most of the work and business was spent on adverts! No thanks Google!

Bugs. Make sure it crashes at random times, then it takes longer to become boring.

My breakfast was magical - amazing smoked kippers, marmalade and toast, freshly roasted and ground filter coffee, a handful of fresh berries, and that was just the first course!

If you want to rebuild Rails in elixir, go for it. Seems like a wasted opportunity though - to break away from all things Rails. And yes, phoenix will end up bogged down like Rails…

Rails is not a religion, it a tech tool (a pretty poor one at that), discussing it's many flaws is not shitting on it.

The worst are the new "tech companies with internal recruiters, tech tests prior to interview, twenty stages to offer, who moan they can't attract the best. Of course not! The minu…

Better design? In all seriousness Django - they get this right. It seems to hurt rails developers that it means typing a bit more, or is a little less 'magic', but then python did …

Improvements are a strong word, I thought they were still playing whack a mole on the numerous Rails RCE security issues.

I said this before: phoenix is the new Rails, and that is not a good thing. Phoenix will end up bogged down with the same great "ideas", hex will end up chock full of crap like gem…

Best part is credit card debt is typically unsecured - spend, consume, enjoy, stick up middle finger when repayment is due. Those who do repay will of course sub those who don't ov…

Agile may be dead, but the books flogging it remain on Dave's website (the so-called pragmatic programmer).

For those of us who hate what agile has become, I fully fucking approve the medium post!

We have painting by numbers for those that cannot paint, and we have agile for those that cannot program or deliver projects. Oh, and agile (TM) really only exists to sell numerous…

The modern day "professional", they may hold degrees, may sound impressive, probably read a few books on the topic from O'Reilly, but basically are not that good. Same with program…

Cool story bro. And a PhD in genetics proves roundup is not a toxic and carcinogenic how?

Cool, so you have the mug of tasty roundup to drink. I'll have the coffee - bottoms up.

Use C or C++ instead?

GMO - what's not to love about plants designed to bath in larger quantities of carcinogenic pesticides whilst their natural competitors wither under the chemical assault? Or seeds …

Given the recent problem with fakes on Amazon I worry when they move to food - in China they now fake even eggs, rice, amongst others - how will they stop that getting started sold…
