Oh boy... I take it that you are the author and I've completely derailed your thread by going off on my own tangent. Apologies. I will give it a second read and see if I can't come up with some more relevant feedback for you.

I had a little trouble with this one myself. Apparently there was a lot of '<' + elementType + '>' + value + doClosingTag(); kind of junk all over the place. Add to the mix javascript that called a web service an

It took me 2 hours to realize how funny this comment was.

That was not a comment directed at jacobr. It was a statement about code. There's stupid code all over the place. Twenty years ago, you had to know networking, hardware, relational databases, and programming to get anything done. No

I think I was pretty plain. Designers suck at code. Coders suck at design. That use case is the "we should only have to pay one guy and he should know everything" use case. Or the "I have an idea for an app. I'm a com

It's not just because . It is a foreseeable problem that you will have to support multiple display layouts with the same set of data. It is a foreseeable problem that you will need to train and delegate. You can be the full stack guy

I didn't address SAM at all, other than pointing out that the author's figure did not have a separation of code and display.

A commmon mistake... No. It's an idiot mistake. It's an idiot mistake that should have been caught by code review. It should have been caught by release engineering. It never should be made in the first place because deleting

To be fair, Python 2.x is installed everywhere and python 3.x wasn't really usable in production until 3.3. And there's barriers to migration like Twisted has. It's been a lot of years, but people are slowly and finally star

At my work we recently needed to hire a developer. We gave them all a very basic problem to solve and told them "use any language, use any libraries". The idea was to get a feel for their coding style - do they comment their cod

This is not a good thing. The expense of SSL certificates is not negligible, and it is not justified. The protocol is easily compromised. Much like email, https needs to go away in favor of a solution that incorporates a modern mindset.

And then they decided to inject adware into OSS installers. What a nightmare that was.
