Many of the ones I know end up at other companies that had troubles finding good employees before. And a bunch of others started their own companies, and they are/will hire their own employees, too. I wonder if there are statistics abo

Fun fact: so are Rolex watches and so many other luxury nonsense products with a high price. Wear one on each arm. Travel via airplanes across borders. Sell the watches. Now you have a lot of untraceable cash. Fly back and forth for busines

I was working on my own project. Medium-sized, a full-stack web application that I'll release somewhere this year. It's a Next.js front-end, I did all my own CSS and optimisations, semantic HTML, accessibility, load performance, T

I'd imagine that, as people in poorer regions in the world get access to laptops, we'll see a big increase in free operating systems. Sure, you could crack Windows, but why would you? Windows 11 isn't really good, and cracked

I compare it all to using Github Copilot in my daily work. Before, I needed to Google many problems to find answers, curate the answers, scroll down websites, read downvoted comments on StackOverflow, copy/paste code, refactor it, turn

The same trick is applied to trick potential customers into going through a sales funnel and convert to a paying customer. "There are 42 people watching this hotel right now! Only 3 rooms available for your dates! We'll murder ANO

I hate Tailwind with the passion of a million suns. It's loved by novices and those who don't know what they're doing, almost exclusively. They claim they know CSS, but will fail after any casual test. The best arguments agai

I completely agree with this article, but it never bothers me in particular. But I'm a developer, so I'm an outlier. That said, I do wish that the error message I see every day would be simpler. <looks at TypeScript>

I sometimes miss the days of XSLT and XML. They were very performant and easy-to-use client-side templating technologies that had a lot of power. I still think there was a lot to be gained by combining XSLT and JavaScript client-side. Then

I still can't buy the PS5 in my country. To me, Sony is dead. I've had every Playstation console from the start and have bought one within months of release, it has been almost TWO years now and still there's nothing. I'

They wrote you can be agile if you move to the cloud. Did you try that? I jest. But that's kind of the point. SAP is terrible by the nature of the beast. It's a closed off system with specialised developers who require all sorts o

I'm just wondering why these services need centralised hosting to begin with. Peer-to-peer networking isn't new, Blockchain as a tech could take care of decentralised but shared information. And I don't mean that a company of

TypeScript has come a long way, but one of its biggest issues is the complete lack of FORCED sensible naming conventions. Generics are the worst offender, with people often using a single letter to represent something that's both hard

Back in 2001, I started work as a web-developer right out of high school at the age of 17. My high school diploma wasn't good enough to get into a software engineering university in my country (the Netherlands), so I had to wait until

Thanks for clarifying that. I stand corrected. It all makes sense from just the financial point of view. So that means it isn't going away any time soon, unless there's a huge backlash from consumers. Perhaps the best thing we can

Touch screens are just their 60+ year old fossils deciding "that's hip, that's what kids want!" and probably their testing audiences responding more positively to images of flashy touch screens and shiny lights. Driving

If that `color:hover` issue is the problem, then we should have pseudo classes like that change their syntax by using a double colon: color::hover { ... } Or maybe class names can't be protected CSS properties. So `<div cla

I've worked at an agency like that for a loooong time in my past. It's shocking that a website that looks like a cookie-cutter template that you could buy for $50 on websites like WrapBootstrap could cost a THOUSAND times as much.

I hate it. Being forced to document crap in a pile of tens of thousands of documented things is insanity. Nobody reads that stuff, but because it's documented, you can always say: "Wait, did you not read the documentation?" W

Eh, I can make a nice and similar argument against "full-stack" developers. I'm one of those, but I specialise in the front-end. Because that's what I'm really, really good at. When I see "full-stack" engi

In job interviews, people don't write the code they would write normally, they write the code that they think the interviewer wants to see. And that brings me to a topic that's entirely different but also very relevant: job interv

Eh. I'd be okay with making all the software in the world open-source. It's only a matter of time before we have computers powerful enough to reverse-engineer everything in a split second anyway.

Well, true. But that's the point, it saves you from having to do all the work. Copilot saves me from leaving my IDE for a large amount of situations. It saves me from opening a new tab (tab #1003) and Googling my problem, finding a sol

It has saved me a lot of time writing trivial shit that I usually have to copy/paste from the internet anyway. Is it worth $10 per month? I dunno. But they get me a kick-ass IDE, I get to store my project (privately) for free, and they

Cats have their own opinions and are very self-reliant, dogs tend to be much more subservient. I don't like that last trait in anything or anyone. I have two Russian Blue cats, they are smart, fun, playful, and they entertain one anoth

It's easier to make a weapon that takes out a tank, than it is to make a tank that can defend itself to it. Javelin missiles are just one thing, but cheap drones with simple rockets on them should be able to take out a moving force of
