> it's a really difficult field if you don't like it. That's the issue in a nutshell. You can tell people they'll make 100k easily but to be a developer you have to like it. A good developer looks at the problem and g

True, but Github and a PaaS platform tell you that your data is leaving your computer. It isn't something that happens in the background from a simple autocomplete application. The other thing is that a proper 12-factor app separates s

I know this is your baby and all, but how high was your team (high as a kite?) when they thought sending every line of code to your server was a good idea? Seriously, could just send the object type being "autocompleted"along with

Oh thanks, the creator probably forgot to put context in his title... apparently there was too much stuff there.

Doesn't matter either way, the skills that I gained are mine and anyone needing those skills will be paying for them.

> passive salary renegotiation Is that what we call it now? I always called it "emoragequitting". Basically when stress + work > current_paycheck and you decide to shop around.

Because the people who implement the technology aren't those who can admire the "quality". If it's been 6 hours at work and I have 30 minutes to pick a tech to start evaluating, I'm picking the one with better docum

RubyMotion was amazing but what it had in ability was superseeded by React Native with everyone and their mother doing a React + Rails combo for websites now. In the end, writing plain Ruby became more cumbersome than writing React so peopl

Actually, a free market would be making them residents the moment they begin their new job and allowing the H1B visa to be transferable for free to any company the moment they enter the US.

This is quite possibly the coolest thing I've seen so far. I would be quite happy if you added some collaboration controls (give read access without giving write access) because I could use this for a lot of our training. I just put to

And then we can automate this 'programming' and people can ask the automation software to 'make them a sandwich'

See, that's the issue, incorrectly specced software.

That's not the proper way. If it comes with an envelope, find a brick and attach the return envelope to it with duct tape (paid by weight), if it doesn't stuff it into another company's envelope (along with the brick)

The issue that most "dev shops" can't estimate anything beyond three months so the best they can do is "this 3rd party dependency speeds up current process by X"

Someone just brought this up to me, but I don't see the use if you're already using Flynn to deploy Rails apps. Anyone actually know where this product would fall in the development pipeline? It sounds amazing. Edit: Okay, got it,

I have never in five years of using NewEgg had a single issue that couldn't be solved by their customer support issue. I also have never paid a single restocking fee in all of the banged up kicked boxes I've gotten through Fedex.
