The political class is parasitic and must be eliminated for true progress. FTFY... and Lenin :)

Yep, quite the burgeoning tech scene in Phoenix as well. Compared to California it's quite affordable if one can put up with four months of pretty extreme heat per year.

Ah but why would those differences become greater after the introduction of the equality systems? That's the paradox.

I agree with everything you say but what bugs the living hell out of me is this profession's infatuation the new shiny. That along with the almost universal absence of any objective evidence that the new shiny will positively effect th

Exactly, when I plug my phone into the computer I want it to show up as another drive so I can just drag my mp3s over to the music directory. It's sort of works that way with Android but the directory where your music lives on your pho

I think it has a lot to do with how phone and tablet OS's (iOS and Android) deliberately try to hide the notion of paths or even files for that matter.

Yeah, the minute you start reaching back to the server for a significant update to the client data model in order to support a view transition I think the benefits of SPA are lost. Granted I've only deployed one SPA to prod and that wa

I like what you've described but how different is that from just including jQuery to add some dynamicism to your page? Which, BTW, is what I think JS should really be used for.

I think the need for, or at least the level of reliance on, a site like Stack Overflow is an example of how utterly messed up the "profession" is compared to other engineering and non-engineering professions.

Domain knowledge? Heck, at most of the places I've worked they don't even do a cost benefit analysis on whether or not the dev costs will produce a positive ROI.

I'm with you. I went through the whole dynamic and weak typing love fest but my thinking has evolved. I much prefer static and strongly typed languages now because I don't view lines of code or the number of key strokes as the lim

I think we (cli advocates) worship text because language happens to be a very powerful user interface. What we need is a ubiquitous command interface where the output of any command is a tree set of typed objects and any command is free to

I’ve wondered on more than one occasion how many business problems could be solved much more quickly by just using excel as the front end gui/view instead of using some heavy weight client technology or worse, a web app.

Not a year goes by I don’t kick myself for getting rid of my HP 28s. It wasn’t from the same era as those in the article but damn, what a trusty work horse it was for me in college.
