That goes for any modal, anywhere in the app (mobile or not) unless it's absolutely necessary. Subscribe to your newsletter? Fuck you. Ads? Double fuck you. Pointless promotional m…

The status messages might fool you: https://status.github.com/messages but repos like Seldaek/monolog, doctrine/dbal, and a lot of the symfony ones (config, console, form, security…

"Thousands of mostly small online merchants are already accepting payment in Bitcoin, though this virtual currency has no intrinsic value and isn't tied to anything that does." Tru…

The closer we get to one standard (like the standard Twitter Bootstrap templates are leading to), de facto of course, the easier it will be for the user to use websites in general.…

"That said, pointing out to users that you don't have to tell them when you've been breached might not make you any friends." Well, one state is enough. The news would have gotten …

A great business idea can still be "stupid." Or worse: Privately run prisons. Mercenary companies providing "security" in wars. etc.

You confuse framewos, languages, and server technologies.

The Delphi reference made me shudder.

"Ask people to write code on paper or a whiteboard Ask someone to code a fibonacci function" Absolutely. Some try to do this on the phone. What a waste of time.

With the lack of affordable healthcare, a drugged out populace on drugs that cause depression (prozac and the like as well as many benzodiazepines used longer than 2 weeks) and ins…

It's not Javascript. That's why it failed. That's plainly obvious. As far as code size and front end developers, yeah it's sad. The "must be built here" mantra is in full effect, u…
