I'm a developer, so no... A headshot would be of exactly zero value to me. I have no photo on linkedin or any social media. In fact, zero photos of me online. Current work asked me to upload a photo for the company skype / whateve

This sounds like a problem pretty unique to Javascript, honestly. I think if you saw a professional C++/C#/F#/LISP*/Clojure dev etc pulling in a dependency to do IsOdd you'd rightly laugh at them... Yet in JS, that

I've been a professional developer for 15+ years, I don't think I've ever seen anything posted on stack overflow of high enough quality that I would happily paste it into a production system. Great to use a guideline for a pr

Yep. The blind leading the blind. But that's most blogs regarding development nowadays, most are garbage advice.

When you're learning it's fine. I would hope at some point you would get to the point where you move past this, once you get to Enterprise scale print debugging stuff would be slow and laborious.

Nice article. F# can be so readable, e.g.: // WishList -> Async<Reservation> let workflow (wishlist: WishList) = async { // 1. Find matches for each wish let! matches = wishlis

Lichess ratings are quite a lot higher than your equivalent Elo or FIDE rating by a good few hundred points at least, I reckon. Although I reckon this disparity reduces the higher the rating but is still there.

I do a lot of ui stuff and the sort of test I'd write for say a form and a save button would be: 1) populate the form with invalid data, click save. Verify that I showed an error message and it was structured how I want it. Verify I di

Tdd won't take off until developers realise they need to start thinking more. If you don't understand the problem you're trying to solve well enough to write tests, you shouldn't start coding. But too many developers jus

If a Javascript developer isn't learning frameworks, what are they actually doing? It seems like being a Javascript developer is learning a new framework every time it's Tuesday. You know, that and installing packages to handle Is

Most banks that will give you a current account will want to see £xxxx deposited every month (e.g, your salary) to earn any interest (if they even offer interest, it's rare on a current account). I could open multiple, but then every m

My checking / current account pays less than 1% and that's only on the first £2500 (I think), after that the interest is zero. I'd love a checking account, with no fees that pays 3% on the whole balance. My average balance on

I wish Microsoft would redo the icons on Windows 10. I'm using the dark theme on Explorer, and the yellow folders just look odd.

Sometimes complexity is needed. I've worked on too many projects where it's just do whatever is easiest at the time to get it working ASAP. This works, for a while, but eventually that code base that no one really put any thinking

The most important thing for me is detailed steps to reproduce. What version it affects, if this applicable. If it was a crash and this resulted in a stack trace being available. I want the stack trace. Lower down on the priorities is a vid
