Not everyone who asks these problems is an idiot. Given the amount of dick-swinging that goes on from Google employees and the famed interviews one gets from the big tech companies I can imagine a lot of younger managers reading these and t

I was thinking this the other day, and given that Adobe is a company that could struggle with the demise of Flash on the web and growing discontent over its core product line the time is almost right for an evangelist to take control and ma

> That's kind of a strange sentiment, especially considering IE6 is basically extinct in the wild (unless you are targeting users of pirated copies of Windows in China)... Incorrect, at least in the UK. If you believe the general stats

I get annoyed when people are too lazy/incompetent to support IE6, but blocking IE altogether is beyond stupid. Don't get me wrong, I see the benefits and if dropping it makes sense (hint: it doesn't make sense when you quote average IE6 fi

Mine was the opposite experience. I had played with WP7 and I thought that it was a fantastic OS and would look and work great on a great phone. Nokia always used to make fantastic phones so I was looking forward to the Lumia, but quite fra

All the great new features of ASP.NET and C# aren't exactly new, but Microsoft have created a genuinely fun platform that a lot of people are starting to use outside of the famed "stuffy, corporate environments". We use it at a digital agen

I'm disappointed that Android users have flocked over to Instagram considering they've been running on the iPhone happily for a long time now without any real wish to ever bring their service to Android. There are many similar apps already

Try joining the job market after fifteen years away from it. He might be lucky enough to land some immediate work, but the transition to a new role will still be extremely difficult.

I don't claim to be an expert on Blackberry, but for me the real sell for Blackberry has always been BBM. Kids today all have mobile phones, and most of them in the UK have Blackberry's solely for contacting each other through BBM. I feel t

If I remember rightly the reason this guy was jailed was not because he made racist commands AT Muamba, rather than about. I don't know for sure, but I would imagine that there is a huge difference between making racist comments about someo

For the uninformed like myself, why is this not feasible with the amount of cash they have? Could Apple not acquire a global carrier and mount a hostile takeover of the market? A lot of people believe that this is the route that Google will

The problem I see with the Android market is that there tends to be far more competition. You state that no one has stepped up on Android, however there are a number of decent apps that do exactly what's needed, and Readability have already

Wasn't Rose the main guy who pushed Digg over the cliff and over to Reddit with the famed v4 disaster? Don't get me wrong, the guy did great work getting Digg to where it was, but if he was behind Digg v4 he killed it within a matter of day

It may sound the same, but I had that same feeling towards Python. I eventually dipped my toe into Python 3, but my main desire was to use Django for a work project and naturally we ditched it for ASP.NET (a decision I don't regret as ASP.N

Perhaps a bit off-topic, but isn't the use of post-receive hooks to publish your content effectively hacking Git to do something that it shouldn't? For me, the ideal approach was always to use continuous integration to publish/build my site

The line that really got me was ".NET developers are a dime a dozen". If this were true my current employer wouldn't have spent the last six months trying to find a good senior-level ASP.NET developer.

I was at one point skeptical that frequent activity on the Internet would ever amount to anything worthwhile. I was offered an informal interview for my current job through a follower I occasionally talked to on Twitter. I knew about the op

This often makes me wonder if there is a place in a dying market for a small newspaper that prides itself on world-class journalism and thought-provoking articles. I know it's not exactly comparing apples to apples, but Private Eye in the U

A few months ago I tried to apply what is basically the same code (written in C#) to Twitter to see if I could filter the spam messages I receive. It's a great exercise for those interested in playing with the algorithm.

Isn't this a problem with responsive design as a whole any way?

I didn't say that it was the underlying reason, but it's nice to note that even though the page looks nice it's also small and efficient, especially when you compare it to more established forums.

It's probably not the deciding option, but the front-end code is only just over 20K because outside of a few images and a stylesheet there's very little going on. A lot of Web Designers today tend to completely forget that page size matters

As I said below, if you're developing Apple products you run a fine line with humour because a lot of people aren't going to "get it". Whether it makes you sad or not is irrelevant. What matters is what the users think, and if Reddit's reac

I've got nothing against humour in a page, and I quite like most of what is on the page, but what irks me is that there are users who would want to know whether there is a Windows version of his software, only to be told in the FAQ that the

I have a Galaxy Nexus, and I know this will be an unpopular opinion, but I find Flash works pretty well on the device. Granted, I only use it for video content on sites like the BBC, but the underlying functionality is fine. I don't think F

My bosses aren't the most tech-savy people on the planet, but even they realise that it costs them more to pay their developers to build with IE6 in mind than to simply supply people with IE6 a unstyled page to use. Developers need to cut t

I'm a developer with decent design skills and I would love to work on an open-source project in both roles, although I have looked on CodePlex a number of times to see what I could join. I rarely ever see any design openings, and more often
