This is a very laymen, simplistic comment, but it sounds like the engineering complexities for industrialization need a little help from AI. I know nothing about AI/machine learning, but if these processes could be unleashed to simplif

I would say a great reason to have a tech leader is to share the role of PM between the BA and the tech lead. This role can be rotated as far as I'm concerned. A lot of companies I see have far too many PMs overseeing too few projects

Decorators being at Stage-1 seems to be a special case. It's very unlikely that decorators won't make it into the language.

Silent failures was why I left Aurelia too. It's probably the best of breed of those types of MVM frameworks, but it suffers the same problem. Just let me use JavaScript.

I will avoid all frameworks that do stuff like <li *ngFor="let item of items; let i = index; trackBy: trackByFn">...</li> and <li v-for="(item, index) in items" :key="item.id">...<&#x2

We want to switch to something crossplatform and stick with it for all new projects. C#, .NET core is cross-platform.

I don't hate C. I'd rather program in C than C++. There's a "uniformity" and simplicity about C that makes it beautiful. You've got structs, functions, and pointers...that's it. I remember reading some

JS is a terrible programming language I can never see the point of comments like these. Not one person who reads that will have his mind changed. HTML/CSS can be nice to have in such a situation, although a refusal to learn other G

privacy is asymmetric ignorance. There's just too much of this creepy thinking on HN these days. Way too many statists, autocratic people on here.

I like it. If I want to get on a whiteboard with a couple guys and hash things out, we can get a room with maybe a couple PCs to write some code. Otherwise, you're at home or somewhere else you find comfortable.

I think the people that are inventing this "bias reporting system" have horrible biases, and they only get worse as time goes along. The problem is that it's not a fair system. And everybody knows this, but obviously if you&

For some reason, I was thinking about this the other day. But I have another reason, at least for the U.S. The east side is most likely to be older because people migrated from east to west. The wealthier people would move to the west as

It's comical and at the same time disturbing that people would actually think this way. I guess it's just another case of bubble living.

I hate being preachy, but Problem is that despite those tools being available, I literally never use them. Ever. Nor do I have a need for them. You don't know what you don't know.
