I agree with your more nuanced take on the golang community's position. I still think that a fully realized framework is, in general, a better starting point for the vast majority …

I don't know the php ecosystem well at all. I just didn't want to come across as 'Rails is the only one true way'. Lots of php folks seem to love it, and it derives a lot from Rail…

Yes, the state of the industry is a hot mess, but I'm not sure this article rings true. Failing to leverage good frameworks is as big a problem as over using the bad ones. I would …

The x86 hardware and the Linux OS both had to make the jump to 64 bit. Sun was still able to make hay in the period where Linux was well established because 32 bit memory restricti…

Agreed. In my mind, the M1 Mac I'm typing this on is a direct descendent of the NeXT workstation that launched while I was still a student with no hope of ever owning. As much as I…

They were already doomed at that point. I was involved in several major purchase decisions during that period and Sun were totally out of touch. If they were quoting hardware that …

And instead we should all use ??? Hello?

If there is a business/domain need for this capability most organizations will go with some kind on content management solution (CMS) of which there are myriad solutions. Git would…

It competes with anyone selling point of sale hardware. I think Square falls into that camp, no? I wouldn't want to be in that space right now. I don't see how this doesn't usurp a…

I went through a cycle of: study ruby -> start using rails -> seems magical -> realize you don't know ruby yet -> study more -> rails no longer feels magical. I suspect this is typ…

Baffling that this wasn't a day one feature. Doubly baffling that it now launches on Enterprise only with no guidance on if or when it will be generally available. Never an explana…

I honestly thought they were finally renouncing GitLab flow as a massively misguided idea. They are both flawed. You shouldn't be using branches in your version control system to d…

But what can't be thrown together are truly great content authoring capabilities that support mobile responsive. Those are sophisticated UI heavy features that are hard to do well.…

I ran into the same issue a couple of years ago. We had an existing WordPress site. Issues were continuous paving over by consultants resulting in a overweight and fragile site wit…

Because the Elixir/Phoenix community is largely spawned from the Ruby/Rails community. They are more likely to be continuing to follow what is going on with Rails, even living in b…

This not an 'immigrant' thing, it is a H1B requirement. When I initially began working in the US under Trad NAFTA there was no such requirement, but when I changed to a permanent t…

When we get into this type of discusion in our interviews, what we are looking for is not literally are you coding between the hours of 6:00 -11:00 pm. We're trying to find out if …
