Can I ask why? The original site has a good discussion, explanation and summary of the pdf. It's not like the site is clickbait with a "here's the pdf" line and nothing else.

What's worse is that those "hacker hostels" in SoMa require you to apply and be approved of before you can give them your money. If you're local, speak english and aren't founding your own startup, they will say &#x

Perfectly flat structures are horrible, but on the flip side, if you have too many layers between the people making the decisions and the people implementing the decisions you're playing one large game of telephone. That's why I l

Look, the question was "why don't more people use Polymer." That's the answer: it's not natively supported, or not perceived to be natively supported, or whatever. I work with companies who make the decision to use

And why would I bother with the increased load time and complexity when I can use a framework that's natively supported? "Because Pollyfills" isn't a good enough argument.

Care to enlighten me, then? It's as on topic and relevant to the posted story as the rest of the comments here. The best I can figure is people just don't like my tone, which is childish.

This chart[0] is why. No IE, Safari or Firefox. It's basically only fully supported by Chrome and Opera. Chrome may have the biggest piece of the pie these days, but every other framework supports all of them, so why take the risk that

If this is true, I'm ecstatic. This isn't a war advertisers can win and any service taking this approach to keep its ad revenue will go down with it. Then again, this could just as easily be by accident. I've seen poorly code

You're deluded. It's ok, we all are. Our brains are hard wired to seek out data just like our brains are hard wired to seek out sugar. Both were rare in the olden days and could extend your life. These days, we have too much of bo

White people hold incredible advantages in modern society. Not anymore. There was a white man recently who could only get his work published by using an Asian pen name. Look at all of the white men who have had their careers destroyed by

Being a "regular" software engineer is all about building a large internal collection of idioms that you can reach for to build what you need, not to methodically think through each step. Are you sure about that? It seems backwa

The 140 character limit allows Twitter to be a reliable source of quick bits of information - you can dive deeper if you want, but it's a great cursory overview. That quick bit of information lights up our dopamine receptors like not

It's about promoting fairness, equality, and opportunity for everyone in society. Except for white people, which is why the parent is worried about character assassination. It's a real worry when building a business these days.

Yup. Neanderthals lived in Europe during the last ice age and followed a K-selected breeding pattern. Sapiens were in Africa and followed an R-selected breeding pattern. When the ice finally melted, Sapiens flooded into Europe and wiped the

Really, it's funny you say "operational details" in such a dismissive way. Is it possible you're projecting? Ops is vital to launching an app, but it also has little to nothing to do with the development of that app. I

Many people have lost innocent-until-proven-guilty in their minds. You have to ask yourself why people have lost the innocent-until-proven-guilty concept. We still teach it in school, so it's not lack of exposure. Is it the media? Si

I wouldn't qualify this as an addiction either[0], but it's still good to know what motivates programmer behavior and the dopamine cycle is definitely a factor. The real question is how do we use this information in a productive w
