   Yes, and it seems Apple is slowly becoming the pre-2013 Microsoft. Funny times!

   Change jobs every 1-2 years (not just a salary bump, but a varied experience as well). Get a long-running side project, where you allow yourself to refactor as much as you want .

   Read it with a little grain of salt. Author seems to be clueless about C# (one of the sources of inspiration for Swift): "I don’t think of C# as mainstream. It’s probably to do with the kind of thing that I do for a living; but a propr

   JavaScript is the mainstream http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainfuck so the reasons all the same.

   I guess it's a good advice. Somehow similar to unit-testing: don't test or do outsource things that don't need to be of high quality.

    Driving a bus is not a middle class job. Also politics is not automatable in the nearest future, so could be a wise choice if you have an aptitude.

    Sounds like an excuse for writing bad code. I work with people who deeply care about the code quality yet somehow open to refactoring and design suggestions. If it is worth it, it is not going anywhere: care, refactor, maintain.

    "MYTH #1 Apple Has The Best Designers" - don't want to be a troll, but it's enough to say "iOS7" as an anwser (e.g. http://www.nngroup.com/articles/ios-7 )

    I've heard that one company screwed up the basic fundamental component of their mobile phone once - the antenna. It was basically short-circuiting when you were holding it during the call. Their answer to consumers? "You are holdi

    I see the source of your confusion now. To me innovation means something absolutely new, not re-applying/combining prior art. Wikipedia agrees: "Innovation differs from improvement in that innovation refers to the notion of doing

    Just to be clear: innovative for Apple development community or innovative generally? Please list some/all innovations, I would be happy to reconsider.

    The language is not "innovative" as they claim, so people are expecting at least some learning from mistakes of prior languages. They could've hired some smart people from more software-oriented companies or something.

    They want everyone to think same way and use one single multi-purpose scripting language. JS as a bytecode is a less favourable outcome for them for some reason, maybe because everyone would stop caring about using JS directly. Hence the un

    I think it would be a safe bet to wish that ES7 has a better support of second generation quantum computation primitives and a good implementation of exocortex interoperability APIs.

    That's not a big deal. Browsers are in a desperate need for a non-transpiled client-side language competition.

    "new enough browsers" - will work automatically in mobile Safari? Cool! Unless we are talking about _specific_ browsers rather than just new ones. 1. Browsers are installed by the user. 2. Browsers are binary too. It seems Mozilla

    They equally could've called it SQL256 or XML2000 and then explain that it doesn't mean what the abbreviation states. I guess there is no need to argue for us, but personally prefer names that reflect the nature precisely. At leas

    I did not know that Rust had C#-style attributes (annotations)! Will they allow creating custom ones and reflecting on them at runtime?
