Still no examples, though. It's great how "you're great because you say you're great". Great.

Because four times now you've said "I know more than you" and have provided nothing of substance to back your claims. I know this is HN and "what you say" means more than "what you…

And you're clearly the arbiter that gets to tell people what they do and don't know. I guess pretending to be competent online helps you, in some way.

"The site went down, but it's not my fault. Even though I'm the guy coding it". ok, 10x.

"Weak programming"?

No, I hadn't read the article. The site was down...

If an HN post with 10 upvotes makes your site go down, do you really have the right to tell people how to write code?

[citation needed] It's really nice how we once again depend on "I think some guys do it like this" for performance. What happened to standards? What's next? SEO for code?

Well... what did they expect? Seriously! There is no shortage of experimental evidence of what happens when a bot is trained by "the Internet".

Case in point: the left-pad package has quadratic complexity.

Wut... Because the iPhone 5S had great design? Contrary to the popular meme, not all people buy Apple because they're shallow appearance-obsessed hipsters.

The OP's point is that "This only works if you pay the appropriate amount". If you go with that process, but discard the "money" variable, you'll only interview the people who got …

Hell, at this point I'd be happy with "command-line python". I've seen a few-too-many "Rails, but only in RubyMine" devs.

Guy, you're wrong. You can keep arguing, but that won't change reality.

The only way for them to get developers on their platform is to wait for the next generation of developers. Literally nobody will base anything on their stuff now, and this has bee…

Either "Games aren't real software", "If it's not in the US, we mostly don't care" or "Real Unicorns take VC and get acquired by Facebook, Microsoft acquisitions don't count". Pick…

That's really weird... It kind of tells me that they don't have confidence in the platform. Dogfooding is important, kids!

Because the Messiah complex is finally dying?

Sure. Just like we did with SOPA. Wait...

That's a bit suspicious, really. A feature like "Reactions to a comment" doesn't take two years to implement, even with all the scaling considerations. And people have been complai…

"Facebook does this way, so we do it this way."

Because a developer-centered website needs custom webfonts, right? Even at the expense of performance. If only designers would learn that their job is not to paint a pretty picture…

It could be a hash operation, yes. But would it really be necessary to make it a cryptographic hash? It would explain the performance issues, yes. But who uses cryptographically-se…

I love it how every year the "age at which a startup will hire" increases by one year. They must've put something in the water in 1987, because those '88 children "took our jobs" t…

I am using Crashlytics, which got acquired and is now part of Fabric.io. For the most part, it's "use Crashlytics and pretend the rest doesn't exist".
