Only if by fundamentals you mean the fundamental idea behind coworking spaces. Sure, that makes sense. But the WeWork company fundamentals are out of whack. Nobody is arguing that …

I would offer another anecdote because I really believe this to be a very high quality laptop. I have bought my Dell XPS13 9360 around the same time and have never been happier wit…

Wow they are really aggressively comparing to Trello which isn't really the same product niche. Compare your product to Airtable please. Why would someone use this product instead …

What did work in your experience?

I'm also using Dell XPS 13 (model 9360, non-touch, 1080p screen) with Fedora 26, and I haven't had any issues. This is by far the best linux laptop I've had. Just another data poin…

Most likely not, as it's supposed to be backwards compatible.

I'm not sure what you mean by that, flexbox has been supported by Chrome for a while now: http://caniuse.com/#feat=flexbox .

> I mainly regret not taking university seriously half a lifetime ago, but as a result I became a lifelong self-learner. Can you please expand on this? Why do you regret that? I've…

I'm quite interested in learning why the author decided to use React for the user-facing part of the blog in the first place.

It's definitely ok, and it will probably work out better for you than asking a higher hourly wage. The client may of course be reluctant to accept this if they haven't done any sim…

Not sure if I'm reading this right, but is the amount limited to 3$? If it is, that's a pretty low limit. I wonder what's the reasoning behind that.

I know that one thing I don't like about https://weworkremotely.com is that many of the listed jobs are not truly remote (they are limited to one country). At least on this board I…

A web site can be Javascript-heavy[0] without being a web application[1]. There's a big difference. If you just need auto-completion, modal dialogs and similar features then you sh…

Why do you regret it (unless it's too personal)?

There's a comment below the article where Ryan says that they have been working four days a week since 2006.

Don't get me wrong, I agree with the idea that you should look at the root cause of why your tests are slow instead of trying to "fix" the tests. I just feel that what you demonstr…

I don't know (and don't care) if this makes your unit tests faster, you shouldn't write code like that. He took something that should be simple and made it really complicated. The …
