Cars already do have to wait a little longer for pedestrians to cross - at traffic lights, stop signs, intersections and crosswalks. Roads are literally built for cars to drive on . Having people on them makes driving far more dangerous, a

Actually the law in the UK is that Pedestrian's usually don't have the right of way outside of designated crossing areas [0]. Drivers are considered to have a "Heavy Duty of Care" since they are of course driving large

You have to remember there are also people in the cars who are now put in unnecessary danger by pedestrians jumping out in front of them. The worst part is that they are at the mercy of others to avoid this danger. Even if they see you un

I strongly disagree. We can argue where exactly the line should be, but most people should agree that pedestrian's shouldn't be able to just suddenly jump out in front of a fast-moving stream of heavy traffic and expect everyone t

There are certainly some real bugs in there, but saying there are 2.7k "bug reports" is a little disingenuous. These are "GitHub Issues", many of which are feature requests, and many more are new users trying out this fr

This is the same guy who said "We don't hire .NET developers"[0], so he clearly has no problem going on incendiary rants that make people angry. While I personally agree with this particular message, it's entirely inappr

Wow, great article! It's astounding how forward thinking this was 20 years ago, and how relevant it still is. It's even more amazing how many companies still don't live up to these standards today!

I think the biggest advantage of side projects is for when an interviewer asks you an open-ended "tell me about a project you enjoyed working on". As an applicant, I can speak in great detail about any of my side projects, discuss

I love vimum, use it myself, but my biggest gripe with it (also half-addressed in the article) is that sites with good power-user focused keyboard shortcuts built-in are almost always going to beat a generic plugin like vimium. So you'

This is exactly my point though, you wouldn't catch this in an e2e test either unless you try with an "11". If you're explicitly trying the "11" in an e2e test, why not just do it in a unit test instead? Once y

My problem with the "release-branch" approach is mostly that your prod releases end up being big-bang multi-feature releases. Any bug in one feature can delay the entire release. More changes usually means more room for things to

I agree with you overall, in an ideal world we all have near unlimited compute power and even these "longer" e2e tests run in a few minutes, not hours. Unfortunately it's also not terribly uncommon to see these e2e suites tak
