    Imho the "otherwise" option should be on the top of your list. Tools/best practices come and go, can be learned quickly with so much information out there. That said, be curious an…

    The problems I see with "open your browser" for quick testing: 1. it's short gain, the team will be slower (will they know how to test it?) 2. how much code needs to be written so …

    It's a trade off. Sure, the ultimate testing is done by customers, but how fast one can push new fixes without tests? 1 reported bug could break many things.

    Personal experience is great, but facts are more important. IBM team did 40% fewer defects than non-TDD team, Microsoft team: 60–90% (fewer defects than non-TDD fellows). You can r…

    Imagine assembling a car engine without any QC process, perhaps just visual inspection of the parts. The end users (whoever will drive the car) will be the actual testers.

    I couldn't tell if this is a joke or for real. My 2 cents regarding testing. Written tests have 2 goals, 1: help to build your code (you verify your code as you write it). 2: Regre…

    Personally I will believe it when I see it, at least for Pro line. Apple has the resources to pull it off (although they will be remembered by their keyboard issues for some time),…

    Google is grooming next generation of users. It wants to be the Internet, the way IE (the E logo) used to be Internet to many users. Can you imagine removing house numbers from Str…

    I don't know, I guess it depends. I tried recently to switch to gruvbox dark, solarized dark and so other popular themes. It is difficult for me to use them in the day. Gave up aft…

    Indeed, team's experience is not relevant in the definition, however it's the main criteria to choose a [boring] tech, after the cost of course. To use/apply any tech or workflow d…

    Boring tech is subjective, it depends on the team. A tool for the job needs to be in right hands to be right. Some may be fine with 1 hour after hours deployment, some may want a f…

    It doesn't specify who serves it at that speed either, could be some kind of "serving machine".

    My biggest concern/blocker is the soldered storage. 1st - if it fails during warranty, how do I send it for repair safely (as in my data be safe)? 2nd - it decreases its value imho…

    Any competent engineer without experience is more likely to figure out how setup and/or troubleshoot nginx than kubernetes.

    I heard vim supports Vim keybindings out of the box. I may be wrong, I use IdeaVim mostly.

    Are they still unstable? Was it the hardware or software the problem (bad support on Linux)?

    How would a CPU fail? Also, did AMD manufacture all failed mobos? In which case who needs to do the QA Just to be clear, I am not defending defective and/or unreliable products, ju…

    There is a legal aspect too. How long Apple will allow/tolerate this?

    If that's the case where are the external magic keyboards with touchbars?

    Comment #23071288

    I am still surprised that Apple doesn't give the option of non-touchbar. Why is that? A good compromise would be to have both options, imho.
