Yeah... I quickly revised my opinion after continuing through the comments of this thread. Apparently there ARE people who are that angry? It doesn't really make sense to me. I saw one poster compare it to smokers who get to take quic

His explanation is that's what google cloud defaulted too, although I have a really hard time believing that. I'm more inclined to believe he googled and blindly followed an old guide with an old ppa than I am to believe that goog

I just pay a CPA. It's worth the cost, they're legally liable if they make a mistake, and they'll keep your records for a minimum of 5 years (you should also be keeping your own records). Plus, if something wonky does happen

I think the problem is that the leaders in the company (technical or otherwise) didn't recognize that software systems are like children: They have phases. The ship it constantly is probably ok when you're small, but at some poin

The day old.reddit.com goes away is the same day I completely stop using reddit. The main interface is actively unusable for me.

7 years isn't even close to a "huge span of time".

100% with you there. I personally think it's a bit insane to add node.js as a dependency to a simple PHP project.

My experience is that it's just as relevant today. I had a front-end developer come in and add node, bootstrap, and SCSS as a dependency to a very simple app. We went from having a super simple build chain to one that now needed maint

The same thing happens when a coworker gets sick or goes on vacation.

roughly in the same boat you are, and I actually find it difficult to believe that this is anything more than an imagined problem. I can't imagine there's that many people that don't understand children are important and chil

I just mean that having a technical discussion is not an argument. There will be disagreements, but that doesn't make it an argument unless someone involved is taking things too far.

That's not an argument though, that's a discussion.

Elixir compiles and runs on BEAM, which is a technology that's roughly 34 years old. I think most elixir projects are on Phoenix, and while I can't speak too much about the speed of that project, the poster you're responding

going from .net framework to .net core will mostly be painless unless you're using a windows specific API (such as windowing). If you're using ASP.Net MVC then your app should also come across to .net core fairly painlessly. The o

> OK, stability is relative. I don't know what that means in this context. What I do know is that RoR versions go EOL roughly 2-3 years after they're released. That's not stable by any stretch of the imagination.

I see this a lot from those who prefer IDE's. It's not generally that people are saying it's impossible to do in an IDE, just that it's slower to do, and generally more awkward. Just the other day on reddit I was having

If I write an application in asp.net core it will continue functioning on the most recent version of .net core and asp.net core 5 years from now. If I do the same thing on RoR it will not, guaranteed. I've lost count of the number of t

None of that matters when determining whether or not they need to give specifics about something that is obviously true.

I'm a vim user so I mostly agree with you, but I'd like to point out that it's the entire OS that makes dealing with codebases easier. It's a point that a lot of IDE users miss. I have grep and awk at my fingertips, you

editing speed != typing speed, that confusion might explain why you don't understand.

No, it's more about making them care more about paying you back. I don't agree with the practice, but lets not pretend that it's strictly about revenge rather than motivating the person to pay the debt.

This is why any of the "ilities" is a red flag for me. Don't tell me it isn't scalable, make it concrete. Tell me what specific numbers we're supposed to meet. Don't tell me it isn't readable, tell me s
