   For a few years now, I sometimes get the feeling that DHH is being a contrarian just because. I'm sure it gets that eyeballs and all. They did mention in one of their books to 'have an enemy'[0] so this is probably just part

   That's why I used to do when living in Tokyo. I would look on Google maps and find any interesting looking water feature (I like looking at large bodies of water) and then just drive in that general direction. Sometimes it ends up bein

   That requires that your tickets be atomic enough, meaning project management and planning is still required . Or you’ll end up on a single mega-ticket the entire time.

   I agree. My daily tasks are more FE than BE simply because there are more FE things to do.

   I sometimes wonder how my career (and life) would've differed if 11 years ago, I had chosen to learn rails instead of laravel because of familiarity with php via Wordpress. From there it went on to C# (windows), JS (frontend), scala&#x

   I chanced upon this article and found it thought provoking. I'm essentially starting from zero, as I moved from the big city into a rural mountain area 2 years ago by myself and only know a handful of people. So I've been wonderin

    And most games will use an engine like Unity or Unreal so they don't have to re-invent the wheel. HTML and CSS may not be perfect, but they've been battle tested for a good 30 years and have had improvements added. No need to re-i

    My hobby is collecting corporate/startup engineering blogs. It tends to be the first link I open whenever I chance upon a new website. Here's are some of my favourites. https://cushionapp.com/blog/categories&#

    Every time I have to build a UI in canvas, I yearn for all the conveniences CSS and the DOM provide. Do people even realise how much trouble it is to make text wrap within a given space?

    And that is the wrong question to ask. It is not a binary option. It's not even a scale. It is dependent on the circumstances of the moment. Right now, who is the one invading another country?

    I was in a discussion about a decade ago on the topic of form following function. People were arguing that decorative bits were unnecessary and detract from the beautiful form of something that's functionally pure. A creative director

    It depends. If I'm deep down in code, I want my 32" 4K monitor. If I'm doing planning or prep work, I quite enjoy unplugging my laptop over to somewhere more comfortable.

    For a 'fake' API, I can't overstate just how powerful this is. I once spent an entire month building a proper API server out of this. Then one day while tweaking some DTOs for some POST endpoints, I realised what I was doing

    What common, popular and highly used technology hasn't radically changed in the last decade? Back in 2015, $JOB was evaluating upgrading Java 6 to Java 7 or 8. What is now? 20? I last touched php in 2012, which was 5.4 or 5.5 I think.

    Echoing your experience, I too worked on a project that was stuck on angular.js 1.3 when 1.6 was about to be released. We took a look at some migration guides and didn't see that many changes we had to make, so we tried updating it. Ev
