It's all about finding a routine and following it as closely as possible, and adapting as needed. For me, it's at night when everyone is asleep. Family is the most important. Cheri…

Do you have a source for this equation or did you derive this yourself?

True. But it does no good if management is dismissive. But that's another problem outside of the topic of estimating. > And the best thing is if they then get 'their 10x code sling…

Another thing to note here that I have experienced is when management has an incompetent mentality that, for a given project, that all tasks for this project are created equal. For…

I would definitely be interested in this as well.

Out of curiosity, was there any particular reason why you decided to write a blog post about this vulnerability 5 months after the bug was fixed?

Currently, most of the links within this thread are becoming rabbit holes for me.

I try to follow this mantra from Kent Beck: "Make it work. Make it right. Make it fast." I find that most of the development environments that I have worked in, the focus usually e…

Since when do you have to be productive when hanging out with friends?

Good point. Not sure if this has anything to do with it but by default, "Use relay server when required" is checked for each folder you share. But I would hope that it doesn't go t…

I wonder how this will affect Space Monkey. Thoughts?

Great video. I really enjoyed it.

I think the term "hypermedia" will catch on just like REST did. People will begin to slap on the hypermedia label to their APIs whether or not they are true hypermedia APIs. Develo…

Nice setup. I think it depends on your line of work and personal preference.

I think the one major thing that sticks out in these photos is that all these people work from home or some other remote location. Everyone's work space has a relaxed and zen-like …

Maybe you should delete ones that have fewer points :)

I submitted a dupe and wanted to remove it but couldn't find that option.

The article is very interesting but seems to inflate the fact that if you have a cat you're most likely going to contract T. gondii. If indoor cats don't carry T. gondii and outdoo…

When it comes to programming books, I tend to prefer paper-based books versus e-books. With paper-based book it's easier for me to flip back and forth through the book to quickly r…

Same here. :)

Programmers may indeed lean toward using PHP, Python, or Ruby because of a cultural influence but I truly believe that the deciding factor is cost. New startups typically can't aff…

Over the past year I have been slowly migrating my domains from GoDaddy to Hover. Best decision ever.
