Yes, yes! Having to locate and dig through 10+ different smaller functions that are called within another function is much harder to troubleshoot and work with. Especially when 95% of those are not re-used anywhere else. I know it may not b

There have been huge improvements made with PHP over the past few years. PHP 7 is great and I would choose it over Hack. Modern PHP using autoloading (Packagist & Composer) and an MVC structure allows for rapid development. With framewo

I would say that is what makes you truly a "JavaScript expert". Knowing when to use it and when not to but most importantly knowing how to implement alternative solutions when needed. It would be cool to see the before (with Angul

What about all of the visual distractions? People walking by, mingling, etc. Headphones don't solve that.

I like the Tracers concept. As for "everything is legacy a week later" - why not stick with boring but proven technology and frameworks for software that is crucial and you plan to have around for awhile? That may mean not using m

The hardest parts of starting and running a business generally have nothing to do with tech. That is even true for most software businesses. This is what most developers who have not started or ran a business don't truly understand.

I don't understand some of the negative comments here. This guy built a million dollar business in a year providing a service that people want to pay for. He did it all on his own with no other co-founders or employees. I say "Con

Have you considered getting a software or web dev job in a non tech company? They generally don't put you through the algorithm tests and tend to have interesting problems to solve. Completely different vibe vs tech companies though bu

Congrats! This is awesome. I would be interested in hearing more about where you got financing (traditional bank/mortgage lender or other) and what locations you purchased your properties in.

GREAT additional questions. My answers may not be the popular sentiment but here they are. 1. No and never have. Other than interest in boys ;) But I also wasn't boy crazy like a lot of girls. 2. Other girls can't relate to me and

"They're just developing different talents," says Lubinski, a former high-school and college wrestler. "But our society has been much more encouraging of athletic talents than we are of intellectual talents." Bingo!

Used SES in the past. Poor delivery and they are super strict especially once you start sending volume.

Oh Yikes, totally forgot Mailgun is owned by RS. I have a few things using the Mailgun API too. I am hesitant to move to Sendgrid with what happened a couple of weeks ago and how they handled the outrage. At this point, I may just setup &am

We have moved a lot of our stuff to AWS and plan to move 2 more sites that are on the RS dedicated server to AWS. 1 service in particular really does need a dedicated server and we plan to move that to a Hostnexus dedicated box. We have a c

I still have a couple of dedicated servers with Rackspace. Been with them for over 10 years and am sad to see this. They truly did have the best support and were an amazing partner to my business in the earlier years. I knew this was coming

This is a perfect example of why I refuse to use Google Cloud. Google in the past has put me through similar automated loops with Adwords and Adsense. Even disabling an Adwords account for 2 weeks for reasons I still do not completely under

I agree with "It's a virtue not to make more mental effort than what is strictly necessary." but to have an environment with only "programmers who don't want to think" is not appealing at all to me. I personall

That is good to hear. I haven't been captive in over 10 years and I am located in a smaller town so I am a little out of the loop on what senior dev salaries are in most places. Great to hear that remote senior dev positions are demand

They hire remote and those salaries are competitive outside of the Bay Area. I do agree however that their reasoning is a little off putting.

To be fair, the projects pretty much required a full code re-write too. MongoDB in both cases was one of many bad decisions. Choosing all hipster stuff is what got them into trouble.
