This article misses some of the biggest benefits of an ORM - a unified structure of the data models interacted with in code. ActiveRecord sucks, but that doesn't mean all ORMs suck.

Interestingly enough, games like LoL have communities with heavy influence historically from Blizzard's own Battle.net, as it descends from DotA on Warcraft 3, a UMS cloning other similar UMS maps on wc3/Starcraft.

How much difference is there between those who entered industry after their masters and those who hold doctorates? I personally haven't encountered much of a difference as a masters holder (spent 4 years in graduate school though, 2 to

I can verify this is true - I have a friend at Facebook in Menlo Park caught in this situation (he is an engineer still on a student visa, graduated from a top CS program), so he is moving to London for at least an year so that he is eligib

The async.js library has awful semantics - promises are an improvement in every way compared to it, whether it is reasons of flow, readability, and even perf (bluebird is quite faster). The catchall try-catch is my major dislike for async-a

The Bay Area does not have the 2nd worst traffic - off the top of my head, NYC, LA, and DC are often ranked higher in most articles on worst traffic, and from experience, I at least know that NYC and DC have it far worse.

I'm watching those videos in public most of the time - the last thing I want is to be that asshole who plays the sound out loud in public. I could bring headphones with me some of those times, but I don't really find a compelling

As an open source maintainer, I see requests like this quite frequently, and almost wholly are poorly thought through requests. Library specific code has a lot of negative ramifications, and almost never is worth it. Requesting the specific

I like this article on a whole, but I do have a comment on this quote > Optimizing for the common scenario means giving developers primary ownership of portions of the code base and not allowing other developers to change that code witho

My point was the direct contradiction in statements there. Choosing the choices that a platform makes as the standard setter is arbitrary in a fashion, as why should those standards be the standard? There is no real reason why that makes it

The Angular team has said over 70% of web apps at Google use Angular, but I can't recall what talks they have said that at off the top of my head. Various members of the Angular team have told me this directy as well, and are pretty op

The index seems to conflate countries to be born in and countries to be raised in. For example, if there is one country in the world to be born in, I would absolutely pick the US, if only for the ease of travel/migration to many desire

Undergrad is peanuts - nothing like the intensity you see in grad school, it is on another level. FWIW, I spent 4 years at UIUC for grad school (top 15 math, top 5 CS), and found that the CS PhD students in my math classes were quite challe

I did math and physics in undergrad and math in grad school, and IMO they do more for critical thinking than CS. I too mainly care about how someone thinks, since the wrong implementation can be very costly, and strong thought processes can
