Arch or Antergos (Arch with an easy installer) It's not hard to install Arch but it takes slightly more effort than many of the mainstream distro's. The benefit is a powerful, fully customisable distro. It's documentation a

Arch or Antergos. I couldn't go back to a non rolling release OS. Most of the time these days I use the Antergos installer and clone my dotfiles but my personal laptop (T430) still runs Arch. I recently tried a number of distro's

Sorry, missed this when you posted. No that's with 3 separate company's. The first 2 I was senior developer/team lead and the current company I am CTO/Director. My current team (that I have built) is fully remote with d

Every day give or take office visits and days out etc. Been that way for over 10 years and wouldn't change a thing.

This smacks more of "I am married with kids, a full-time job and a severe lack of time". If that is the case then you just need to grab time as and when you can. You will find you can find half an hour a day at least. The limite

Very quickly. Minor bug fixes and tweaks, inside the first week. Substantial features are usually deployed within the first month. This is limited by our development process.

Why on earth would MS want npm to replace what is one of the better parts of the .Net world?

I used Launchy for years but then when setting up my last day to day laptop switched to Wox ( http://www.getwox.com/ ) after trying Hain. It was too limited at that point. On Linux, I use Super (Windows) key to use the inbui

You do not have standard package manager aliases in your dot files? Why would I want to remember sudo pacman -Syu when I can just enter pkg-update? Useful if you have to jump distro's when you surely have your commands aliased.

It's a matter of tools. All distro's are basically very similar but come with different desktops and package managers. I spent many years jumping around Debian and its derivatives but then I found Arch and it just felt right. I lo

I always look for people that are clearly very technical but who I feel I want to work with. There are some amazing developers that have zero people skills and for whom the word pragmatic doesn't exist. If you can explain complex tec

I really like this approach. Very clear and gives the candidate a good idea of what work they will be undertaking.

That is a very interesting article.

I have always worked along the lines of most people here and the article. A Senior Developer is one that has amassed not only solid development experience across multiple projects but also has a solid knowledge of your product code base.

Atlassian Jira. I have used it solo and on teams of 20 or so and I would be hard pushed to recommend something so highly.

Read only short articles that you have found during your surfing. Most articles these days only take a few mins to read and you learn while you compile!

To me the senior title should be applied depending on the way you approach your role and not how you code. As others have mentioned as a senior you can be left to implement changes without guidance, you will clean up issues as you come acro

That is an interesting point. Once again I say in a start up I want experience. I want developers that can deliver with minimal management and who GTD rather than work twice as long to deliver tightly coupled, dependency riddled, fashionab

Not all of us feel like that. I actual care more about the product and how it's built, the standard it is built to and the processes used to build and manage it. Any manager that's worth working for still codes. Once they code no

Hmmm ... disagree! 18 years ago we had much of what we had today. Things might move on but they do not change. I mean hey, everyone still hates Visual Basic! At least 18 years ago we were actually writing the majority of our code rather t
