Eric is most probably no longer reading this, but I'm really curious what he thinks about landing pages. A lot of startups use them as their MVP nowadays, but I think they are doomed to fail because you have nothing to present to your

Yes, it's very much underestimated. The OS itself is very good. Very good usability, very secure and has some awesome features (can't live without the live tiles!). The hardware is really good as well. In my opinion it's craz

My experience with Xamarin: I've been working for half a year with Xamarin Forms. I Think using Xamarin is the way to go, there is no need to re-code something for 3 different platforms when you can just have a shared codebase. Tools l

That was not my point, I'm a fulltime .NET dev and love it. My point was they way they described it as a "tool" instead of a framework. I don't get why this has to be downvoted.

I still don't see the necessity... Develop locally, test remotely.

Sure. Couple of scenarios where I've seen people working on a server and why that's bad: 1) The developers in this company that work with ColdFusion develop their software on a dev server because they would otherwise require expen

I see no reason to develop on a server. If that's what you're doing, that's a very bad sign in most of the cases.

I still wonder why there's such a big gap in wages between the US and Europe (at least here in the Netherlands). $100K for a senior developer seems to be very normal on average in the US. Here in the Netherlands you would probably get

And then? Who cares about what language the OS is written in? Customers surely don't.

Fair point. Last time I searched for a job was 11 months ago. I asked for an interview at 5 companies, interviewed at all 5 of them, and all of them wanted to offer me a contract (only one of them declined, because they couldn't afford

Funny, SICP isnt on the list. It's always mentioned in these list, and it's probably one of those books that everyone recommends, but no one has ever read.

Detecting a sub is one thing, but destroying it is another. Do they have a 'solution' to that?
