I think there is a simple explanation - it has managed to become a gathering place of intellectuals. HN is not too much different from reddit from a technical viewpoint, so nothing there shows success/failure. Content is the main drive

I disagree, as someone coming from a math background - from no formal CS training, but 4 years of math at a top graduate program, I fully believe that a large percent of my peers from there could be extremely successful developers. In fact,

There is more to math than just calculations, algebra, geometry, etc. Logic, and reasoning through choices & the effects of those choices are vital math skills as well, and for many people in math, they don't manifest until one tak

I hate them and I have had to make the call to hire/not hire - what is that supposed to say? The side of hiring I find interesting is more on the behavioral side - many employers don't find enough ways to screen candidates on thos

There is one benefit of choosing based on popularity - it becomes easier to hire for, and more likely to find engineers enthusiastic about the work. In addition, it increases the number of eyes on it, which can surface difficult bugs/e

My current company learned this a couple of years ago - on their first Node project after deciding to move away from .Net, it ended up a giant monolith, and so 4 years ago or so they decided to move towards microservices. The burden of tryi

Because sometimes those choices have a large effect on the amount of work/mental tax in the future - for example, if you know that a new feature will have to interop with yours in the near future and the cost is low to implement the ri

I don't know if I'd agree with that - I haven't worked at a company that uses them, but I have seen them all over Facebook, and they don't look like they're failing anytime soon so far.

A lot of the stories on that site are from corporate, not the warehouses. Also I know a lot of Googlers as well (hard not to living in Mountain View), and they work roughly 40 hour weeks in general. It is night and day between Amazon and Go

If they didn't deserve it, then they shouldn't be compensating the employees with equity & should be doing so with cash. Can't have it both ways. (This is more of a response to the link, not your comment in particular)

There aren't really a lot of Node frameworks out there I believe (unless one counts libraries such as express or hapi I guess)...probably the same reason why we don't see Go or Rust in those charts is my guess.

What advantage does this have over a regular DAW (other than being free)? Wouldn't most artists not be familiar with all of the concepts inherent with using JSX, and find it easier using a more traditional DAW? (FL Studio, Cubase, Reas

I think it's more important to think about what state of mind are you in - for example, if I'm tired, I'm just going to go home a lot of the time. I know that it isn't an efficient use of my time if I keep banging on a p

It certainly needs more love - another problematic part is when you have messages open but you want to see stuff on the column to the right of the newsfeed. Its design leaves some to be desired.

I despise the tactic of repeating back what other people said - it shows me that the other person isn't really dwelling on what I said, or more often in my experience, are using that to distort what I am saying in order to fit a partic

As with everything, it depends on your requirements, including timeline, shelf-life of application, and future maintenance/feature building. Sometimes, code is a one-off and it is better to write something that works rather than worryi

Thanks for the clarification! I've been flying 16 hours today (Milan to SF), so I'm sure I didn't grasp the full significance of the concepts in the doc.

The proposal doesn't sound like that was what was intended - it seems like it is left to the user to implement the fibers, with the work priority to be set by the user somehow. Indeed, a quick glimpse of the commits of the implementati
