I get the frustration, but I think Tailwind’s biggest win is what it trades: structure and locality instead of style purity. Traditional CSS gives you basically nothing in terms of…

I think these exmples are largely worthless also. Every time I see something like this - I all but dismiss it. It seems like the aim/value proposition is to make life easier by rem…

There are so many people in the tech industry that have no business being there, that suck and have no passion, that are assholes and aren't willing to teach newcomers. The fact th…

I used to write scripts to chop down trees, practice healing, mine and smelt ore, cast "fireball" on myself so I could level up my magic skills...lol I remember a specific time whe…

Same. When I first heard the term "shard," I thought we were talking about UO. I still think about it every time time I hear "shard." I don't ever run into anyone who has played UO…

Legitimate question: The whole "delete when you're done' practice is a pretty common tenant to secure communication. However, there are plenty of cases where having that historical…

Maybe someone can enlighten me; but why does AT&T seem like a popular launch partner with new mobile handsets? The only reasons I can come up with are a) money (AT&T taking a small…

I use a combination of pocket + bookmarks for similar use cases that dragdis solves; I like the concept of dragdis a lot (it's like pocket with better organization, plus the awesom…

In the case of User.getName, why do you re-define that method just to call the prototype's method? Doesn't creating the object from the parent prototype bring that getName method t…

I think you're describing an HMAC[1] authentication code here. Certainly signing your requests as actually having come from your application is a legitimate means of security. But …

browserify, +1.
