Except of course smartphones

It strikes me that this is most likely to be used as part of an exfiltration mechanism for a malicious JS package or similar.

Try reading it as "muggle specs" - specifications which the majority of the population will read.

"INSERT only, no UPDATEs" - sounds like event sourcing?

I don't always run the code in my head exactly - i do something more important, which is consider the set of possible situations the code can be in, and look for problems.

with filter splitters being a thing now, I think they would be, yes.

Which is why best practice is now to start with CI in production - it needs limited access to dev, and the access from development environments into it can be literally just enough…

For your average consumer, this is probably a bad thing.

we ask almost everyone the same thing, which can be resolved to one of the unimaginative but straightforward things above, but is not necessarily obvious at first glance. We fail t…

hmmm, about this not having to pay rent - prisoners with partners and children currently can't pay their chunk of the rent, but I bet many would, if they could.

If the patient is a dependent of someone, or a minor, or dies, does someone else pay? Is the consumer the person paying, or the patient?

I don't know if feedback is provided as standard where I work, or only on request - but we do provide meaningful feedback as far as possible. I suggest that few companies will obje…

One of the awkward things about people is the more they spend on something the more they value it and the better behaved they are to the creators of it.* This may be why subscripti…

at which point you're into extrapolation, I wonder how accurate it could be. I'd guess good enough for most situations.

You have invested your time in some ways; others have invested theirs in other ways. Lazy is a very loaded term - I'm hesitant to subscribe to the notion that keeping up with Game …

Case a: you're expecting to do ongoing business, do well, and both benefit. wrangling contract is not good for you, beyond a basic level. Make sure you're on the same page, and hoo…

They need to maintain their customers' perception, which is not so much about trying as actually having an effect...

Where I work it is standard policy to send meaningful feedback after a face-to-face interview. We actively work to make this helpful.

And it needn't look like eval: http://www.jsfuck.com

Who said anything about including the word "eval"? Javascript is really rather bad for allowing surprising things: eval is possible in just 6 innocuous-looking characters - see htt…

Pair programming neatly sidesteps a number of problems, when done well . For a team, it helps to spread knowledge among the team, encourages people to follow the team discipline, g…

Often this means providing an abstraction which won't break for most users. sadly, such abstractions are often like a duck - paddling madly under the water.

I use my second slot for JPG, reasoning that I can get good enough results out of a JPG if I desperately need it - and the cheaper, slower, bigger card I put in the backup slot wil…

The answers already here address the direct effect in terms of company costs - there are fixed costs of an employee as well as variable costs. I am more interested in what it does …
