As someone who developed a mild anxiety disorder after ~6-8 months of starting work as a SWE, this hits home pretty hard. Luckily I've been able to overcome with help from my famil…

Energetic. Productive. Cheap. They want all three. Easier to get that when you target college students.

People expect immediate gratification. They pay for it and expect it two days later. We become upset because it falls out of the patterns we have adapted to.

FWIW your kitchen is beautiful and your HTML is formatted nicely.

At the same time we have to remember these apps exist for a reason.. to make a small group of people money. In the quest to accomplish this goal marketing, combined with PR, govern…

Also wasn't this a law firm whose data was leaked? A lot of that information is probably financial and personal records which would be massively irresponsible, not to mention highl…

Apparently there are no American politicians or businessmen listed. And no coverage on NYTimes, CNN, Fox, MSNBC, CNN, USAtoday, LA Times, etc. That seems strange to me.

I think OP meant that bootstrapped code, written as quickly as the developer feels like writing it on a weekend, has its own flaws as well.

But we look up to assholes don't we? Steve Jobs. Michael Jordan. The Wolf of Wall Street. There's something to be said by that. If only "different people are motivated by different…

The opposite side of idealism is cynicism. Further more if there's one thing humanity has proven itself bad at, it's the ability to make economic predictions. I'm not saying your c…

When we fully understand the psychological effects of advertisements on the brain like we do the physical effects of cigarettes on the lungs. IMO a pretty long time.

I wonder how the engineers on these projects feel. To work really hard on something just to have it thrown out due to "business reasons". Must suck.

So, in other words.. for bad_thing in life: delete(bad_thing) # program crashes

Didn't you see how much credit was given to the investment group during the parade last Summer? They're going to have to install tables for the new courtside seating so that handjo…

Look past the marketing. They aren't selling "we run algorithms on your data" they're selling "we run algorithms on all your data". There is still a large value proposition in mana…

We should really just start calling it software implementing..

It's ok I'm about to get my philosophy degree.

I don't use or develop for OS X, but I know it has a reputation for some pretty bad desktop applications. Do people think React Native might lower the barrier enough to improve on …

Would be interesting to find out the value (upvotes) of sponsored content vs. unsponsered content, as well as comments from green users vs normal users.

I think it's also important to point out the the timeline for all these events is murky at best. We know when the West announced their support for these various movements, but that…

I actually think Go's simplicity is a weakness because it will only get you so far. Take web development for example, all the tutorials show json.Unmarshall, but this one stackover…

Yes let's make the reputation of Python more cryptic and culty. Because cryptic and culty things are better right? Han Solo said it best "Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no…

I imagine a much greater emphasis is put on the value of time as time really becomes the only finite resource in most circumstances.

I was just adding another possible solution. I thought it would beg the question that their are likely unknown solutions to most problems, which is applicable to the original artic…

Like most things the answer isn't one or the other. The answer is a compromise based on the situation at hand. Sometimes Angular (or any other SPA framework) is the right choice, s…
