I think HTML is bad. I think DOM based development is bad. I really feel that Desktop UI development is much more mature and has much less legacy to compete with when developing a …

With QT5 and it's qt quick controls 2, I put together the demos of the first few chapters of "Full Stack React" within minutes. The QT creator helped me with this. I compiled to de…

Agile is not the manifesto, I has really never been. Agile does not have a real definition.

I wouldn't hang on every word of the agile manifesto. For example you don't have to google too much before you find people having debates over unit testing vs acceptance testing in…

Both jumping ship for raises and other things are also true according to multiple sources. Job satisfaction is another leading cause. The tech industry has to fix the issue of turn…

The first problem with agile is that false dichotomy - "It's either agile or waterfall". Sorry but that dichotomy doesn't exist. Waterfall vs Agile is just a good-bad binary. Surel…

I'll start by saying "Agile Project Management Is Farce and does more harm than good". I've been researching tech turnover for a bit now, with a focus on programmer turnover, and w…

Two things. 1) Humans are stupid. If we were not were not we would have long ago colonized the solar system. The technology is there but we rather not. We would rather fight, discr…

Good developers who are open minded and free spirited don't trust employers. This is the conclusion I have drawn after spending far to much time researching articles and academic p…

I see library after library, and tool after tool released to help minimize the massive boilerplate associated with react and to help manage front-end state. Does anyone else feel l…

When I was younger I learned to program because I wanted to write a program. I never wanted to "Learn C" I just kept on reading chapters of K&R so that I could write my program (Ju…

Well, its time to move on from Hacker news. This will be my last post, I will try to get them to remove my account. Suppressing conversation about topics very relevant to technolog…

I guess political nature of the article take precedence over any form of science or tech found in the article. Moving on from hacker news waste of time.

Why not just flag the comments. Why shut down the whole discussion? Seems like a heavy handed approach. I mean of course talking about the rampant racism in tech will make many whi…

I've seen articles breaking down the science of white supremacist shooting. I've seen articles on the lack of diversity in tech. They seem to get flagged pretty frequently by hacke…

I'm not sure anybody used the word "racist" except for you. No offense, you seem kind of bitter. Comparing bias in tech to the fact that most NBA players are black is quite disinge…

While I support something like this, I can't shake the feeling that everything that can be done here can already be done using the features of my desktop or editor (which is Emacs …

I agree with you but just one point - I didn't know African hair is thicker. Do you mean that African's tend to have more hair follicles on their head, or do you mean that the hair…

I think its being conflated because the author thinks they are one in the same and is trying to make the point that they are. I happen to agree with her. However, thank you for the…

> This tends to underestimate other systemic disadvantages that prevent women and minorities from staying in the field, such as harassment, unfair compensation, and imbalances of p…

I could do better with the Ad-lib library I wrote as a freshman in High School. At least those generated comments where coherent. The garbage that is being generated here is an inc…

The term Next-GEN may need to be phased out. We live in an age where Next-GEN is a transparent server update. Hi-fidelity graphics will soon be streamed over the web and game /cont…
