Just because we can do a thing doesn't mean we should.

As I have (admittedly snarkily) put it many times "every line of JS is tech debt"

Compression? Or is that being considered a pile of multiple other concepts?

I live in a building built in the 40s near Chicago and I've done a lot of work that exposed various parts of the underlying structure, and the history you describe is all over the …

Location: US Remote: Yes, please Willing to relocate: No, but I'm willing to travel regularly to get face time Technologies: Agnostic. Bits and bits and history keeps repeating. In…

Maybe my primary use case is too rare to get much love, but I'm still stuck on Instapaper because so far in a decade of alternatives nobody has quite hit the mark for me; I want to…

I was sitting 10 feet from PK when a lot of these decisions were made, but you have to realize what a different time it was, and it how much becomes obvious only in retrospect. The…

Did you consider paying more than minimum wage? I wonder if a higher wage would enable you to expand your talent pool to folks who would enjoy slinging coffee a couple days a week …

And when your server is inevitably compromised and your users passwords stolen from you due to your lack of dillgence and used to compromise logins on other services, what then? St…

I discovered by accident that it reduced my wrist pain. I wasn't looking for that benefit so I'd say not placebo effect.

It's just a different bag of hurt but no more so than node or ruby. Setting up ruby boxes makes me homicidal, whereas .net feels like nothing. But then I have much more experience …

I see a bunch of Mac minis, apple TVs and airport expresses ;-) Seeing people reading the tea leaves on this one will be entertainment for a few weeks.
