This is not quite necessarily true - I work at a tech giant and we've opted for using scss still & are quite happy with our choice.

This can be headed off by not rewarding bad behavior in peer reviews/manager reviews. In addition, such behavior could be used to lay off the offending person. Not that I'm a fan of completely flat organizations. It should be note

Doubtful - 30 kB minified & gzipped is a lot of code, and the fact that jQuery doesn't help with your code organization/keeping code DRY much is a huge negative.

As with many things, the answer is it depends on what you do. I inherited an app that serves about 1m requests a day, and server-side rendering of the HTML is one of the reasons why we're going to decommission this app, as the performa

I've seen the flip side of the coin in an app I inherited at work - it turns out server-side rendering can be significantly slower than client side rendering if you're rendering a lot of content, to the point where we hit an autom

Had a similar experience with Google Apps - Google's customer support process is inept by design, which is the primary reason Google doesn't get my money anymore.

I work on one with React that is too slow in the browser with a team that only has senior devs, and users even filed bugs about the performance - we do heavy computations, and React's model of blocking rendering on having everything up

Google’s automation with calendar auto-adding events from email and not correcting is so bad that I switched to macOS/iOS Calendar and started weening myself off of Google’s services. They’ve had issues for years, and don’t seem intere

I think you're not grasping the difference of how Apple is structured compared to most companies, and why I made the comment I did, which is completely verifiable. Apple slices up departments by function, not by product, which is why t

There's no "OSX team" at Apple. That would go against Apple's whole corporate structure.

Even in the Bay Area there are companies still with Python 2.7 with no real migration strategy yet. I maintain several such packages at work myself.

A better subway system that goes along more than one route would be more worthwhile.

This is also true of my own employer (a fellow FAANG) - the technical track is incredibly hard to advance in past senior, it seems to incentivize devs moving into management, along with the pay differential where even in the same tier, mana

Non-charitably, Google probably has an interest in not prioritizing iOS. Realistically, I'd imagine that Google prioritizes less there because a lot of preference for iOS dev is to just go full native. I do wonder how much Flutter is u

I'd say if you're crossing over 50 lines, it's going to suck no matter what format you're in. Other solutions are not really going to fare any better than JSON at that level.

For reference, jQuery is bigger than AngularJS - let that sink in.

IRC’s problem for deep conversations is that conversations in a chat medium are more ephemeral and that the shorter is better, not unlike Twitter, a format that exemplifies why shorter conversations do not give a great medium for longer&#x2

Privatization of the railroads neutered a lot of their utility in much of the US. I remember taking my first Amtrak in Illinois to Chicago and experiencing that my train was delayed for 3 hours because the tracks were privately owned &

All these things are important, but this misses the important distinction - the higher up the leadership chain is about the scale you operate at, whether you affect one team of developers, a couple of teams, a director level organization, e

Interestingly, I seem to be one of the few people the AirPods don't work for when it comes to exercising - they don't fit well in my ears, so they'd fall out if I tried to exercise in them :( . Love them in general though, th

This does not just apply to shutting down accounts - this also applies to whether to refund money due to borderline fraud by Google. Google is hostile to all customers, I do not trust them when it comes to monetary transactions based on my

Even so, this can be changed via environment. I had a big predisposition to being a night owl in the past, often sleeping between 1 - 3 am, but after I enlisted in the military, being an early bird has stuck with me ever since. I often wake

I have no qualms letting people know my comp so they know that is possible, and helped many developers in my short 6 year career get better jobs/get life changing comp. Caveat to my numbers - I am an asian male math PhD dropout from a
