Wow, that's some wisdom right there :) +1. Whole new meaning to "best code is the one that doesn't exist".

Feels like this is something a person who expects me to work on weekends would think. Don't get me wrong, I used to agree with you, I know however believe otherwise. There is more to life than coding and computing. We have to have time

1. It's like saying you don't need Rails, just use Sinatra and if your app really needs it then use Rails. I'll pick rails even for a super simple project because I'm very comfortable, quick with it. 2. "You don&#x2

I'm not an investor, no experience, just want to voice my 2c. - facebook and google sure, but how many are there of those who didn't make it? - sounds like a fear of missing out. - Buffet didn't invest in Microsoft because he

I agree with you here. After 8 hours of intensive coding, or whatever I could squeeze out of myself that day, going home and doing more of the same is the last thing I want to do. I doubt we can code for 12-14 hours a day steadily for a lo

The latest project I'm currently working on I got to choose how to build. It is an internal CMS. I went with Rails API, React, Material-UI. So far, I like it. I like separation. I know that one side ( ruby, rails, gems, pg, sql etc )

Being able to produce nice, competent design requires a very different skill set from the one developer has. It's not our job to know what are complementary colors, what is hierarchy etc. But when handed sketch/photoshop design it

What is the point of sharing the article then? If I choose to behave in a certain manner but don't care how you behave, why would I tell you how I choose to behave?

it is sort of "expected". People want a native experience. To me, the entire concept seems wrong. It's like having to submit your website to chrome, and safari, and mozila, and be approved by them, for them to display your si

In today's world successful business often requires online presence online presence requires app to have an app my business "has to be approved by Apple" That's a freaking monopoly.

I was thinking something similar, but honestly, getting wtf. Few months back I was traveling from Bronx to Brooklyn, pretty much opposite sides of the area. Normally it should take 2 hours and change. This time it took me 4... and a half.

When they talk about the train in Russia, they really only talk about the train in Moscow. Everyone I know says stations are very nice, and schedule during peak hours is like a train/min. BUT, at the same time, it's much much more

Having companies that worth 1 trln isn't ideal. I don't mind tech giants breaking down into smaller, still huge though, companies. Facebook, Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon... Why the hell do they need to do (own) everything? Too

Yeah, I had the same question lately, since I think about a month ago, there are a lot, 5 a day seems like it. It's very annoying and distracting. Proper solution I think would be appreciated.
