Second this. I make it a point not to look them up on social media. There have been a couple of occasions where I’ve checked their LinkedIn profile if I feel something’s amiss, but that’s quite rare.

Having recently started learning Elm, I am considering switching over to ReasonML. Elm's architecture is really great for front end development and the error messages are awesome, but the ecosystem is in its infancy, and development is

As a Indian, convincing people not to buy cars is going to be very hard, if not impossible. Cars represent social status, and they are a big step forward in comfort when traveling. Even if the public transport system improves drastically,

Apple has been removing features from OS X for a while now, and I’m sure it’s going to continue with their focus on iOS. Eventually we will all be running iOS on macs. P.S: I’ve always stayed one version behind as I can get stuff done rathe

Personal anecdote: was born and brought up in south India and my grandma used to make me drink turmeric + ground black pepper milk every night. It was a standard practice to serve it with black pepper, even though I’m sure they didn’t reall

As an aside, I don’t really like the most common banana available in Australia. Growing up in the southern part of India, I distinctly remember 7 varieties which I haven’t seen elsewhere. If the death of the most common banana means others

Great work putting this together! Reminds me that being a developer these days is a lot of work with the insane number of tools and frameworks one is expected to know.

Sadly, it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better. As an Indian IT guy, I was lucky enough to work in product companies all my life. My many friends in the service industry haven't had that luck. I've heard horror st

Not one word of apology from Apple! The workaround involves turning off notifications individually for every app, and then turning them on after the update. If this were any other manufacturer, they would be burnt at the stake. But we someh

Not regretting my decision to always be one major release behind. At this point, I simply don’t trust Apple enough to install updates without breaking my system and interrupting my work.

As good as this initiative sounds, I don't have high hopes of it succeeding in the long run. I have seen how many Amma canteens in Chennai have run into neglect or effectively closed down a mere 3 years after opening. As long as initia

I personally have been bitten by the two way binding and CSS in JS "feature" more than once. As an angular developer for two years, it frustrated me to no end. React took time to learn, but it was definitely worth it. The one way

I have been working more often from home in my last two jobs where there have been open offices. I didn't initially realise why, but its been increasingly clear that I just need the privacy to get work done. So typically I ended up goi

During the beta for a product, we were working on sending out daily summary emails to our users. We had a cron job which should run at 8:00 AM in the morning which would process the queue and summarize all activities into a single email. It

That's exactly what I've been doing since 2.1 came out. We get to use async/await, object spread etc but still get it compiled to ES5. Haven't had any trouble getting it working with React either. It did need some tweaki

It is amazing what mob mentality can do on the web these days. Regardless of the authenticity of the news, I saw the number of reviews for Snapchat on the iOS store go from around 4000 to ~60K! That to me is terrifying. A faceless mob can

As a front end dev, I once told my colleague Stripe's landing pages are absolutely delightful to look at, but I personally will not develop something similar if I had to.

VSCode has quickly become my goto IDE since I primarily work with TypeScript and occasionally Python/Golang. It is noticeably slower than Sublime, but the tradeoff is worth it for their tightly integrated TS support. Good to see more i

The documentation of redis is really good for a large open source project. I am not a contributor, but still read the source code from time to time. Full credit to antirez for taking the time to make it easy to contribute to redis!
