Not sure about eggs. I get a lot of contradicting opinions. My conclusion is that 4-5 eggs a week is good for us.

Tech people know how hard it is to scale things. More precisely, we know how hard it is to maintain quality (of code for example) in an environment where quantity increases rapidly. Take a look at this graph : https://upload.wiki

This was known for decades. People in the future will not believe how bad we were eating in the last 50 years. Food is so important to our physical and mental health. We are literally killing ourselves, at this point the food industry is al

Your desires come from other people desires, because of mirror neurons. What we call "Me", our entire personality, our "Self", is 100% made of many other people "Self" (explains "You are the average of the

I'd argue that most of life has been figured out by many, many people thousands of years ago. Greek philosophers had the exact same problems we do today, and over their lifetime they've been pretty successful at figuring out solut

I can see this pattern in other areas, like startups. Founders have ideas, users/market decide if they're worthwhile or not.

I disagree. The mistake many developers make is that they'll just make a fun game, upload it on the App Store/Play Store with a naive hope that it will get viral, and they'll get money. The reality is that mobile gaming is ex

So taxis in Paris protest against a multibillion dollar company and suddenly the entire country of France is against startups ? I agree that France is probably not the best country to launch a startup but this is a pretty poor argument.

This is something that I'm learning too, and I'm glad to hear it expressed as simply and clearly as you did, thanks. We learn it when we're kids : "Clean your room (2) before playing with toys (1)". Such a basic con

Same here. I only have 2 years of experience, but right now my opinion is that this is not something you learn in a book (for the moment). You can learn how to create clean, readable methods and classes with a book (1). You can learn how to

I can't wait for this to go live. Does anyone know how companies test their Android apps without a service like that? Things like in-app purchases, notifications and 3rd party SDKs are in my experience really hard to unit test.

Yep, I think so. They were acquired a year ago.

Starts with a culture shift : society should care about its citizens health. It's just not the case in many countries, especially in the US. I guess the maths are simple : keeping more people alive and healthy is less profitable for th

Feels "good" to see someone talk about this. It seemed more and more obvious to me but i never really found anything other than my own thoughts talking about it. How do you deal with this? a) Slowly turn into a psychopath to be ab

I agree with the general idea behind this article, which is : don't become religious about one method, one tool, one language... However, the conclusion is really pessimistic ! "Great developers create great software not because t

What about native APIs like in-app purchases, push notifications, ads SDKs, GameCenter ? Will we be able to access those ?

I'm really surprised by this video. I'm a junior developer who just got out of college. I knew the software industry isn't as mature as some other industries, but I kinda thought as a whole we were moving towards a more prof
