Some people (myself at least) actually like refactoring. There is something really satisfying about coming in and fixing up a badly written Node.js codebase, breaking it up into microservices, etc. Plus if you want to be a $200+ per hour co

The algorithm is inherently flawed because it is based purely on authorship of files, and not the quality of the documentation, source code, source code comments, etc. It doesn't matter if a piece of software was written by only one pe

> Slapping some half-baked shit onto Github isn't open source. It's littering. What a negative attitude... Every programmer has written plenty of shitty code. I know that I wrote lots of garbage code when I was a teenager just

Do you have noscript? It is loading fine for me, but this site does not work without JS.

No, it works fine for me. The node.js livereload code running inside the container can detect the file changes just fine, and it just alerts the browser running on my host computer via a port that has been forwarded from inside the containe

AWS has documentation at varying levels. If you are looking for documentation that starts at the absolute basics, without acronyms then you are probably wanting the "Getting Started" section of their documentation site: http:&#x2

I'm using the same setup and it works great. Vagrant shares a host folder into the guest VM, and then the docker containers mount subfolders of that shared folder into the container. So you change a file on the host computer, and it re

When you were a child you started out learning simple one syllable words, and speaking one word sentences. When you were toddler you started stringing those words together, and learning how to form extremely basic sentences. And eventually

> Asking whether a programmer in Silicon Valley plans to start a company is a bit like asking a waiter in Hollywood about his or her acting ambitions. I wonder if many of these programmers don't really like coding, just like the wai

This is very true. A drone could quite likely do maneuvers that a traditional jet couldn't do because of the limits of what the squishy human body inside can withstand. I wouldn't be surprised if in the near future we see a drone

There is a pretty simple order of operation you can target if you want: 1) As you onboard and get your environment setup simultaneously write a Vagrantfile so that you can provision a local dev environment in an automatic fashion. 2) Set up

Exactly. GPS could probably work well enough in suburbs and other areas with fairly wide spaced buildings, but in a urban environment there could easily be ten or more businesses within the margin of error for GPS location detection.

Are you hiring frontend JS devs or backend Node.js devs? If a backend dev doesn't understand the question and can't implement a basic debounce function then you are setting yourself up for a completely broken backend. I've fo

I've been pretty involved in the hiring process at the startup I currently work at. Our process works like this: 1) Phone screen of roughly 30 minutes. 2) Coding challenge. There are a couple different ones you can work on, such as exp

Rant warning: After working with Neo4j for about six months I would definitely NOT recommend it to anyone. In my experience it has been the least reliable and most buggy database solution I've ever worked with. From the engineering poi

That's the exact reason they designed it that way. Apple is intended to be a walled garden rather than a true equal platform for the app devs. As much as I like Apple hardware I hate their mobile OS because of this approach of building

This tool is incredible. I love the ability to dig into system trace level activity per container when running a cluster of docker containers on my machine.

I agree. However the problem isn't necessarily that students are "customers", but rather that according to this writer the universities apparently have some kind of "customer is always right" approach to teaching. I

I'd say it takes maybe 8 hours max to start understanding the interface and art. With regard to learning the mechanics that can be hugely accelerated if you know how to save scum. Basically you move your save files out of the default s

Some message brokers are highly optimized for "at most once" delivery, where you want to receive the message between 0 and 1 times but you NEVER want to receive the message twice. Others are optimized for "at least once"

As a node.js engineer the only thing this fork will do for me is require me to double check with companies I interview for to ensure they are running their Node.js on a sensible Linux platform. I'm definitely not working on the Windows

Yeah I'm disappointed in Forbes. Their new website interface is garbage, practically unusable. Here is the website of the game itself: http://www.bossastudios.com/games/worlds-adrift/

Most startups that fail wrote code extremely quickly and have a cobbled together system that the devs would be ashamed to open source. There may even be private keys and sensitive info in the code base itself. Additionally if the failure wa
