Ah yes, the totally factual and 100% accuracy of Venmo transactions. Like the $62 a co-worker with a dark sense of humor paid me for "cunnilingus".

I used to work for Champion Spark Plug 20 years ago. Chrysler asked us for price reductions every quarter. It got to the point where the engineer assigned to Chrysler hung up the phone one day and said "Fuck it. I'm just going

WTF? Seriously? The latest thing is to NOT use git? haha We just jumped the shark.

I had to make this decision recently and my conclusion was if your goal is to build something that makes money, do it with what you know. Why? Because you can spend 100% of your time building instead of 50/50 learning/building (o

Without any input from me and several other js devs in our org, it was decided that we'll do a complete rewrite of our Ember.js app in React. The primary reason stated was hiring and the secondary was build times. The first should ha

These retros are surprising. I tried RN for one day and realized the massive limitations and eventual need for native libraries and tools. It seems so obvious.

I had the same idea years ago and this exact patent is why I never got farther than a patent search.

Delete your facebook/whatsapp/instagram/whatever. You'll be much happier and, ideally, they will die.

which frameworks protect against this "behemoth of tech debt" Yeah, that's basically what invalidates the assertion. There's no language or framework that guards against the complexity of a large code base. Period.

This might not be particularly relevant to the article, but I'm still genuinely shocked that the HN crowd is so anti-cryptocurreny. Most of the arguments against it are akin to someone in 1995 saying the internet isn't viable bec

From the article: The most accountable people have singular, public, and risky brands: Oprah, Trump, Kanye, Elon Trump is one of the "most accountable people"? This sentence threatens to invalidate the entire article.

No one will even talk to you about a management position, without already having been a manager, no matter how much experience you have as a developer. The only path to management is to acquire it from the inside.

It's only "not worth it" because the whole student loan system has caused the cost of getting an education to skyrocket. Fix the system, take away extreme profits for universities, give everyone who wants it a free college e

I'd wager almost everyone who has used ember in production feels much the same way. Ember is basically the best js framework for most use cases but React won the marketing war and has the backing of FB, so Ember just got crushed. It&

Buy HNMY @ $0.65 if you have the cajones. If there was ever a case of "be greedy when others are fearful" this is it. There's a good chance you'll lose it all but the potential is there if they can get it right. I lik

Many people already fool themselves by simply refusing to fact-check anything that doesn't support their biases. If you thought "alternative facts" were bad now, just wait for this tech to hit 100% believability.

What percentage of users do you think fully understand that Google is literally tracking their every footstep? Yes, it's Google tracking you whether you realized it or not. Tracking is not and never has been "opt-in".

Too little too late FB. You knew exactly what you were doing when you made them difficult to find in the first place. Now you're sorry because everyone realized it? Get bent. Delete your FB/Whatsapp/Instagram/whatever
