Tests fail all the time during development. Test fails indicate a bug. You fix the bug before you commit. The bug never makes it to prod. It's impossible that only one test ever failed during development.

Cool, maybe this will kill Instagram.

Doctored or not, this is, at best, mildly inappropriate behavior. Trump could tap immigrants and drink their blood on prime time while grabbing an intern's pussy and Republicans would cheer. This is a distraction.

Just because something can be used for "evil" doesn't mean it can't be used for "good". You really can't imagine any "good" benefit?

I imagine you could have said equally terrible things about the internet ten years after it's protocols were developed. Bubble! Scams! Blah blah blah... If you don't have even one good thing to say about something that has obviou

Maybe, but my grandmother had Alzheimer's and lived in the country all her life and the air was extremely clean. However, her well water was disgustingly polluted with metals. I remember that she would wrap a giant wad of paper towel

Grind on leetcode until you can do any problem quickly. It's all that matters for interviewing and you'll get a job making more than people with 15 years of experience that can't leetcode but can create beautifully architect

Oh please. Upgrading any framework is always a huge pain in the ass. Using it as an excuse not to use rails is just that: an excuse.

Let's say you're a liberal, you hate Trump and everything he stands for as well as the Republican party. You post a lot of anti-Trump and anti-Republican content on social media and discuss it even more candidly with friends thro

Yeah, blockchains, whatever. Cryptocurrencies are here to stay and if you think bitcoin is the xml of crypto, you’re going to look exponentially dumb in the coming years. Good luck with that.

I’ve been so poor my calculated net per month was minus $1000 for about 16 years while supporting a family. I worked and saved my way out of it and know that the inability to save for the vast majority of people is just bullshit. Its an ina

It was a joke, take it easy. With that said, perl has a multitude of ways to shoot yourself in the foot and future maintainers in the face. Notably, the obscure tricks perl allows you to write that are difficult to read in the future but

I like Musk's goals and would love to work for Tesla or SpaceX but wouldn't apply in a million years knowing their style of work. I value my happiness, mental and physical well-being far too much to work in a high stress environm

John Oliver once again stating the obvious so well. Let's not forget that Instagram and Whatsapp are now included in the arsenal of the Evil Empire as well.

Funny because I've built many, many apps and worked as a professional dev for 15+ years and literally never, not even once, needed to write a reverse bubble sort or whatever from scratch. Modern development is more about making good de

I'm 46 and this question seems a little ridiculous if you're located in a good market. In the bay area there is such demand for developers that you will find a job. It may not be the most amazing, perfect job for you but the pay w
