Of course you can have rich and highly functional design, as well as very functional, minimalist barebone design. It's always harder to come up with a design that's simultaneously pleasing and feels easy to use, but throwing desig

Well, that's the first time I see such convention. And your argument doesn't quite hold water to me. They put the visibility modifier in its own line, not the function name. It's still next to the return type (or void). So it

I was referring to putting visibility modifier in its own line.

For what it's worth, the BotBuilder from Microsoft is open-source: https://github.com/Microsoft/BotBuilder - could be worth a peek. As the website states, this SDK is only "one of three main components of the

This is awesome news. yield-return semantics was something I missed dearly. Note that we’re still in the process of estimating the effort needed to implement this feature, and we don’t know whether it would be reasonable

Yeah, well, "always" is an overstatement. Of course there are ups and downs. But it's a matter of proportions - this profession still has it easy. I can't recall a headline informing about massive layoffs of software dev

A lot of software engineers are autodidacts and never graduated in IT. I didn't (I have an MA in politics, obviously irrelevant to my profession). In general unemployment in IT is very low, and there's always a shortage of program

It depends on the context, too. If I read a headline saying something like "Go is awesome for your brain", I'd be 95% sure it refers to Go the board game. When the headline reads "Why everyone hates Go", I'm pr

Just because most programmers don't actually program in Go themselves, it doesn't mean they don't know what it is. I haven't written a single line in Go, and yet it's immediately obvious to me what the title referer

A great many programming languages aren't particularly searchable, especially when searching engines weren't up to todays standards yet. Things have improved, but I remember the dark days when looking for anything C# would shower

So-called "superusers" are probably overrepresented in your circles (as in mine), and thus your point of view is kind of skewed ;) Ask your family members or people on the street, an overwhelming majority of regular internet users

They were early adopters of tabbed browsing, I do give them that, but the first browser to have it was NetCaptor. The whole idea of a browser as a swiss-knife internet suite (with an email client, torrent client, web server etc. all built-i

Yeah, they really stripped it down... at least it put an end to all the fanboy gangs who used to jump into any browser-related discussion, trying to convince everyone how Opera invented everything including tabs (it didn't invent tabs)

Ah, ok. They are however available in Firefox as an extension, aren't they? Or at least that used to be the case

If I recall correctly, Opera dropped even bookmarks at that point.

Isn't this an American, or at least Anglosaxon thing? In my country noone advertises programming positions with hype phrases like "rockstar" etc.
