Agreed. Microsoft had the whole “embrace, extend, extinguish phase” but Google really took it to the next level. Now it’s just “acquire, extinguish”

And thus the labor shortage ends. Less jobs, higher wages. It’s just the markets at work mate.

It turns out that merely repeating the name of a candidate over and over again alongside some platitude or glittering generality is remarkably effective in gaining voters. But TV ads are expensive, hence the several million dollars each can

Exactly, it’s the Netflix problem all over again. Rather than competing on the quality of the platform, they’re just divvying up monopolies and fracturing the customer experience. A different streaming platform for Netflix, Hulu, Disney, Un

You do push to origin in a PR-based workflow. The origin you push to is your fork of the project. Fork, push, pull request.

Depends. If your software is really good, you are probably paying your developers a lot. Someone else can copy your idea for a fraction of the price, while using outsourced developers from East Europe or India

Well, I think it’s more an issue of technology than spirit. If you create a perfect replica of a brain, down to the last neuron and that simulation feels pain or love, then I wouldn’t say it’s any different from human love or pain. After al

What matters is not the correctness of the information but the way people come to believe it. If you’re some kind of dogmatic zealot who blindly believes scientists (because how could the scientists possibly be wrong), you’re as closed-mind

Isn’t only the kernel and the OS permissively licensed? There’s nothing stopping Google and others from making all of the non-OS features closed source. The nice thing about copyleft is that it’s infectious.

The streets were never free. We paid for it with our tax money. (Not to mention our 22 trillion dollar public debt) I don’t think people expect streets to be free in the same way you don’t expect the police department to be free, the fire d

Recently our sales guys got some hefty clients, and have started to bring in serious money. In order to keep up, we needed to turn development time from just a metric, into an OKR. Moreover, our clients sometimes put pressure on us to ship

Disagree about the MS point a bit. Yes, nominally, MS has killed some programs in the Office Suite, but the core products of Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and Outlook are still there. Even the weird, obscure products like Publisher and Access ar

I implemented OKRs among my small team of 10 devs who are all pretty awesome rockstars and good contributors, but still early in their careers. It turns out that OKRs made the employees happier, because it served as a “more abstract” form o

The beauty of React and other frameworks is that it separates the concerns of state and UI. I don't see it as a tool for making a fancy button or widget, I see it as a tool for guaranteeing that what the user sees is always what's

What's the matter with Webpack? It carries quite a lot of advantages, like tree-shaking, code splitting, and lazy loading. These are real, tangible performance benefits, so I'm going to need some kind of compelling evidence as to

My fear is that if hospitals start to make their prices publicly available, it will drive prices upward not downward. Why? Because hospitals have no incentive to compete on price. The majority of people get ambulance'd to the nearest

If you don’t want to install any frameworks, just use PHP in the way it was originally meant to be used. When someone POST a form, you can use the $_POST superglobal to extract all of that information from the submitted form. Then, you can
