Raising the price for tld would actually be a good thing, as it would make "domain investing" (domain hoarding) unprofitable. Let's say a .com costs $1,000 per year. For a legitima…

-- Most merchants want either a declined transaction (possibly with explanation -- possibly), or an accepted one with a guarantee against chargebacks. Well in fact their is an issu…

I'm no expert here but current job duration may be counter-intuitive. We usually think that the longer the better but it may also correlate with inability to find another job, so i…

Absolutely. It's crucial for a founder to be able to take a step back and think strategically. Being always under water and completing task after task prevents you from seeing the …

It doesn't have to be the case, at least not from my experience managing startup teams. The most usual case I've seen is that you have to let the employee go for performance reason…

Very interesting read. What I would add to this framework is the often overlooked "solving one big problem" vs "solving lots of small problems". Most startups try to solve lots of …

That's one of the reasons I like the Node ecosytem: the culture is really about finding the right library and designing clean interfaces so that you can switch when you need to. Ha…

Using 90s technologies with node is not really diversity, it's punishing yourself on purpose ...

If a dev really writes code that blocks the event loop, is not tested and not reviewed, I'm not sure he should work on professional projects ... Anyway with one nodejs process it's…

The last point about small libraries versus monolithic framworks really resonnates with me. I always have a hard time understanding why my team should commit to one specific way of…

Or NeDB which solve the same constraints :)

NeDB creator here. I'd like to know more about the issue you're describing, I've never heard about it and considering the test coverage I just don't see how it could happen. Could …

Yep, also missing on what collection sizes benchmarks are performed. If that's on a 1 doc, 10 docs or 10k docs collections the results are going to be very different. With these ki…

This article really resonnates with me, having had to choose between two very interesting jobs. It took me 2 weeks to decide and was a really anxious period, whereas without a choi…

Couldn't agree more. Most of the tools I see and try are usually just ways to make coding harder and less joyful. Special mention to IDEs which make everything super slow, provide …

Interesting read, explains well why I don't like to code in Java anymore. Most Java devs who go too deep in frameworks and complexity should try to build a small project in a very …

I really dislike the line drawn between "collecting data on American people" vs non-American people. So it would be ok to spy on Europe but not the US? Come on ...

Totally agree, dark mail feels too threatening.

Another rant by a programmer who clearly doesn't understand JS... It does have its drawbacks (what language doens't?) but if you have some coding discipline you can code pretty big…

So hard to read. Also, do we really need another modelling language? UML was not enough? (not saying ML could be used to do that, more like "didn't we learn with UML that these kin…

So many negative comments so let's say it loudly: this freaking rocks. Massive kudos to the team. Maybe the performance is not yet on par with C. Maybe it will never be. But using …

You misunderstand me, I'm talking about explaining how your startup works and what the business is. The startup mechanics I'm talking about is the way we generally work in startups…

I totally agree. I'll add that Joe should first ask his friends working at tech jobs if their companies are hiring. "this candidate is respected by someone we employ and know is go…

That's actually a pretty good idea (and I am being serious). These firms are always looking for good engineers (I didn't say "experienced") and have a hard time finding ones. This …
