I thought this is an Onion headline! Does this company seriously want people to come work for them after posting this? I guess as a western company are in high praise and demand in Poland and can afford looking down at people like this.

While I agree with you that Microsoft was getting in the way of the ecosystem, I believe that since last year this is no longer the case. I tried, and couldn't find exact date when Microsoft officially endorsed Newtonsoft.Json as THE w

Sadly, usually tests are written after the fact to satisfy a code coverage requirement. Perhaps that's why people hate testing. That's why I did! At my startup we're indirectly tackling difficulties associated with unit testi

What a wonderful piece. The argument that space exploration is a catalyst to new discoveries was very well put, but what struck me most was the contrast between peaceful space exploration and earthly wars. He made the letter very easy to re

That's what I thought until I read Peter Thiel's "Zero to One" where he makes an interesting argument that a monopoly allows a company to innovate, and patent system helps innovative monopolies to exist. I wouldn't
