After reading the various viewpoints posted, here are my thoughts. Jeremy sounds a bit greedy, and probably won't get 50% compensation, but probably will get a significant amount since it sounds like he wasn't dealt with fairly th

It's probably the easiest way to get an interview for most companies.

This made me think of this quote: https://twitter.com/devops_borat/status/41587168870797312 More seriously, this isn't the first I've heard of rm -rf backfiring - one of my friends said at one place he w

Two way binding is back in, and almost all perf benchmarks out there of Angular 2 is much faster than React. It also avoids some of the internal flaws present in current React with the coupling of the DOM layer in the library. The two way b

I'm speaking out of ignorance here, but why does every webpage need to be encrypted? What about simple static sites that are only serving information?

Sounds like that is credit to both Angular and React for facilitating largely library/framework agnostic code. I should mention that Angular 2 is quite a work in progress currently - even though it has the beta label, it still is very

Not only that - you lose sight of the larger problems that need solving, but don't get to solve for too long that it becomes forgotten. I've worked some 30-35 hour weeks at my current job, but work has been super happy with my pro

iOS does, but it is a bit funky sometimes and has some weird bugs.

I've done a marathon with no training once...it was a very miserable experience, and unsurprisingly my worst time ever. In general, training is good, the more you can get in, the better, especially for beginners. Unless you're sta

Agreed, just didn't feel the need to bring it up - I feel it's obvious.

This reads as rambling - for example, "I don’t feel the “problems” CSS preprocessors intend to solve are serious enough to warrant the cost, i.e. to me the solution is worse than the problem." doesn't really expound on this n

I'm not quite sure what this is meant to prove - all of what was revealed for me seems tame. Is it meant to scare users to disable JS?

Not only maintainers - anyone tracing back through the history to find out what broke their use case.

I too have found problem solving to be the most important skill - understanding the problem so you can craft the proper fix or implementation is vital to saving time. Of the best developers I've worked with/know, only 1 has a CS d

But this is a massive waste of time. For example, this past weekend I triaged over 600 issues on a project that sees a lot of maintainer churn (ui-select for Angular) - the low quality issues is a lot of the problem, and maintainers waste a

The main benefit of unit tests is the speed one can run them at, and the feedback. Unit tests make it vastly faster to figure out the culprit in a broken sector of code almost all the time, since it narrows down what code you have to check

This is a pretty terrible article. It asserts the point that Google is doing a disservice by focusing on things that improve developer productivity, but doesn't even entertain the idea that reducing the overhead on more technical matte

One of my friends who just left being full time in the game industry pointed out to me that the game industry is 10 years behind in software development best practices. Churn and burn (like many startups) is a daily reality.

Lack of ability to nest rules in CSS makes it harder to organize styles. Not being able to create mixins and such makes all too easy to have to copy-paste and memorize cross-browser solutions & vendor specific rules for certain browsers

I was just using it as an example where the effective rate ends up nowhere near the rates people temd to talk about - I've seen a lot of prior talk about state taxes for engineers mentioning rates like that too, and did a quick lookup

Where do you get 11% state tax from? Every California state income tax calculator I've seen for $150k-200k puts it at around 7.4% - 8% (sliding scale due to how California state taxes work). Not the lowest taxes still, but I'm bew

There's a lot of old cruft using async (my current workplace being one of them) - bluebird also has 4x the downloads of async. async is pretty terrible though, you cannot pass the results from one execution to another, i.e. passing res

To keep up with being a hipster, doesn't this need to be updated to use React or Angular 2? :P

When I interview candidates, the make or break question for me is does the person possess critical thinking skills? Various things may point one way or another for this, but it is a mistake to assume [insert working at a particular company]

I'm reading this and thinking Amazon employees are really underpaid - making more than some of these people with less experience in base salary (not even including options) at startups.

I'm in the same boat, but I add tests almost always not too long after implementing - I think the more important thing is to write the tests.

While that's true, not everyone is looking for that in their career was the point of the post you replied to. Every person has different career goals.

The article talks about TypeScript vs. Flow as well - TS has a lot more popularity than Flow currently, and it only looks like the gap is going to grow larger. Types also allows for auto-generation of docs that are guaranteed to reflect the
