No problem, I've just sent it again.

Are you accepting UK-based applications?

The job description states "Please send your CV, together with your Github account to hello at count.ly and we’ll reply in 1 business day". I sent mine last Thursday so almost 3 bu…

Should I get in touch via the contact form on your site? I couldn't see job vacancy specific contact details.

Does this allow fully remote (I'm based in Europe)?

But tech like Flux and Redux are clearly derived from the Command pattern (of course i've never seen or heard reference to these patterns in the docs or videos for for flux and red…

I think the cheap work, long hours thing is critical because companies will see an older person and think more expensive which is true and the added cost is justified. I've seen co…

Hasn't Microsoft done the right thing here though as a company for the long-term: visionary CEO leaves meaning potential for great risk to the company > put someone in place who sh…

Is this a Freudian slip? "feeling apart of a community of technical"

Hold on what the hell - I just skimmed through the 'decline of...' article referenced by the above article to look for the one of the reason for those 2013 stats being that there a…

So really age doesn't matter - experience and aptitude does. Here's your quote minus references to age. "I've found there are either people who believe they know better at everythi…

Maybe it's the quote lacking context but you're wrongly equating lines of code with amount of functionality produced. I agree however that adding more developers can slow things do…

Rather than just "JWT is awesome..." wouldn't it be more sensible and responsible to caveat this with some of the drawbacks? I read this article recently ( http://cryto.net/~joepie…

My 94 year old grandfather flew a spitfire in WW2 and voted in he said precisely because he remembers the mess the UK was in before joining the union - the British economy and infr…

Ok I retract my tests comment! Design patterns can definitely be abused and pragmatism is important when deciding whether or not to use them. I would say though that implementing S…

Avoiding all that "fancy unicorn stuff" might not slow you down but it will slow down the next person who picks up your code but who cares that's their problem. You must come from …

"Tons of interesting and potentially great people that have never paired or don’t know really know how to TDD". I am slightly surprised at this because these are not new things.

The articles on modern agile seemed very prescriptive. Where I am right now the team does do scrum (yes it has its problems) but the team has figured out how to get it to work for …

So is your problem that senior developers just do not apply or that the ones that do apply (from a smaller pool of applicants) get screened out at some point in the process?

"There are far, far, far too many articles of a purely commercial nature." Is there a term for this corporate and media agency pillage of any and every social platform?

Really, certainly for technical articles which can gather interested readers by posting on HN or reddit, why use medium at all and not some other alternative? Because it looks nice…

"Medium has become overloaded with loud, obnoxious idiots". I think the world is overloaded in this way too.

I didn't mean the churn (Java EE could do with more churn) I meant in terms of setting up a project and the number of dependencies.

"No other language does anything remotely resembling that kind of thing". Have you ever worked on a Java EE project?
