I completely agree, but the extremism in the essay is ridiculous. If I'm writing some software, I don't want to have to roll my own version of every little thing when there are battle tested libraries out there that already do it

I disagree, and this quote I've seen floating around the internet sort of sums the idea up to me (albeit with a music analogy): > I thought using loops was cheating, so I programmed my own using samples. I then thought using sample

Is Google Sites a monopoly or near monopoly?

I downvoted because of both content and tone. The web is the platform that works across all devices. Sure an app is great when you already use that site, but before they're invested, are people really gonna download an app? Not to ment

I still read stuff, but it's usually when I'm in the "how" stage and focused on what I've written rather than just generally reading.

I don't learn through reading a book, I can't apply it to a scenario in my mind. I've tried. I do learn through playing around with code and deconstructing existing code. There's a crucial second step to this bit though

You've extrapolated from incomplete and inaccurate data.

I think that says more about you and the content you choose to read than it does about the content on Medium. I've read some great posts there with no egotism involved.

And of course Medium didn't charge the reader, another difference from magazine publishers.

It was a question asked by someone on the Express Github repo. How is that clickbait exactly?

While express isn't dying, that thread is a great example of corporate sponsored/run OSS gone wrong.

I pay for 3 streaming services and do so because I want to pay for content. If a company that uses the internet to advertise to a broad and international audience then makes it so I can't give them money for their content, then they ne

I LOVE Aseprite, I've been doing some artwork for games using it and it's been a great experience. Whilst it's open source and you can build it for yourself, you can pay $10 for it and get a built version. The lead dev, David

They seem to have removed Go from the frontend list, but they have PHP and Node in the list too. If I was doing purely frontend dev, I wouldn't expect to have to use Node or PHP.

Yellow and grey are the colours on the JS logo, I'm assuming that's why both Babel and xto6 use it.

A lot of people here seem to be missing the main point of this post. It's not about crowdfunding or advertising, it's about using hugely manipulative tactics within the games to get people to basically throw money at them. The rea
