Couldn't agree more. Once, in an interview, I was asked for a link to my "Github resume". I replied, "I don't have one. I get paid to write code." I got the job.

How about "don't submit your form with Javascript" ?

Inkless metal pen will write until the tip is all worn away. FTFY.

I smell a DEF CON talk coming...

"The $7 PC to bridge the Digital Divide and provide Personal Computing to 5 Billion people all over the World." How is a flash drive a "PC" ? Interesting idea, though... definitely…

Uber drivers aren't employees. Nor are they independent contractors. Uber is crystal clear that they only operate as an intermediary for hiring a private driver. Sure, there's some…

Should be reasonably painless. You'll want to read the release notes for 1.3, 1.4, and 1.5, because there are a couple of things that have been deprecated and/or removed. And even …

How does this impact the release of 1.6, considering that 1.6RC1 was released yesterday? Does 1.6RC1 contain these fixes, or does this mean that 1.6RC2 is coming out soon?

I took it as a reference to Products.Five, the package that adds Zope 3 functionality to Zope 2... Great python minds think alike?

Maybe if people stopped using Javascript for things it shouldn't be used for, we wouldn't have this problem...

This is the sad foundation of "If you see something, say something" as well.

I'll admit there's a certain "fudge factor" but the more experience you get with requirements gathering, the less of an issue it is. Ultimately, this is the difference between a "D…

Any project has a defined scope and set of requirements. If you start the project before these are defined, you're dumb, because you have no idea what you're working on. I always d…

Heh. Never would have figured out that Trac query. Thanks!

Is there an easy way to tell which bugs have been fixed as a part of this release?

Why do so many people advocate reinventing the wheel? As far as I can tell, it wastes a LOT of time, especially in the interview process. One of the companies I interviewed with be…

My job is to create web applications, not to keep track of every little idiosyncrasy in how various browsers have implemented core DOM methods. The jQuery team do a great job at ke…

Sure, he designed it, but I don't think those nice printed PCBs are "homemade". I'd be more impressed if it were through-hole construction. Still, it's pretty cool.

If you're a web developer, one of the single biggest sources of recurring revenue can be web hosting. I charge $100/year to most clients for hosting... you get 30 small sites on a …

I've always sort of envisioned that oil would become "motorcycle / classic car fuel" and whatever ugly cars normal people end up buying in the next 20 years would run on electricit…

Yes. A thousand times yes. I think the reason more people don't do it this way is because the documentation emphasizes how declarative models, forms, admin classes, etc are, and pe…

So, it looks like this is going insanely well, as a kickstarter. What do you plan to do with the excess money, if you raise more than the highest, £7000 amount? Donate the remainde…

I only met Malcom once, during the Djangocon US 2009 sprints. Having never contributed to an open source project before, I naturally had no clue what I was doing, but he still mana…
