it's the only app I've ever used where I don't end up fighting to make the splines do what I want them to. It's truly a gem.

I found that switching to consulting, and charging a day rate is the first time that it finally clicked for me that I need to stop after 8 hours. by working longer hours, i was reducing the value of my time. I was also reducing the value

i prefer the varian't that says : There are only 2 hard problems in programming: 1. naming things. 2. cache invalidation. 3. off by one errors.

it wouldn't surprise me if a lot of the 200 people who left were from middle management who didn't feel like the new structure provided them with enough ways to advance their careers.

since i switched to using webpack for bundling, i've pretty much stopped using gulp/grunt completely. I just found there's very little I needed them for that couldn't be resolved using a makefile or package.json scripts.

I highly recommend taking some time for yourself first, just to reconnect to your loved ones and find some kind of stasis in your life. You're going to need the space to rebuild your confidence levels to be able to show the moxie neede

read tests, and then start writing tests for things. something usually comes up.

one of the most difficult things to learn when you become more senior is that 'not how i would do it' is a different thing to 'this is broken'.

I'm not particularly convinced that "alienating to the community." is really appropriate, because by and large it doesn't seem to be their community up in arms.

qnx seemed really nifty. I'd been intrigued since the "1.4mb floppy with a full gui" days. it's a pity they couldn't make it work for them.

once again, the question is about how to write a system that can be more easily split into microservices later. I would separate business logic into a single service and have all other modules call that using a standard protocol like REST o

the question is about building an application that is easier to split into microservices later. it all comes down to this - http://www.infoq.com/news/2015/01/microservices-sharing-code If you have multiple co

if you are going to try and separate them out into services later, you need to have the code as compartmentalized as possible. Otherwise when you eventually split them out, you will end up being in a situation where each service needs copie

I've seen a couple of codebases now that have coded themselves into corners and made it nearly impossible to go microservices without a major rewrite. - avoid code sharing wherever possible. It creates an implicit dependency. (If y

I've gone down this road before, and one of my biggest complaints was around managing and deploying the code built this way. I just found plain server side code easier to reason about.

I kinda think that docker changes how a lot of this stuff is put together. no more shared anything, other than the kernel.

for the longest time i was kind of unnerved by how quickly previous employers said yes during negotiation, so I pushed my price up much higher hoping to have a better footing. so far they've all said yes to what I considered very high.
