   Yeah! But I read voraciously anyway. And also I've been working on my own projects this 2016.

   I started Jan 2016 jobless, I still am. hence the long reading list! Apart from these I've read lots on AngularJS, React, Redux, Python. * The Short Drop (The Gibson Vaughn Series) - Matthew FitzSimmons * The Girl on the Train - Paula

   I like the website. Haven't tried it out yet. I usually just whip up a good looking HTML page and then use wkhtmltopdf :p

   I've been using Linux as my desktop for 10 years now. I really love it and can't imagine how people (especially devs) make do with Windows or Mac (To be honest I've never used a Mac). But here's to Linux on the Desktop!

   Wow! So much in ES6?! I've added a bookmark to the online version in my bookmarks toolbar. Although I am sorry to day the digital version is just too costly. If it was cheaper like most of the books we get for kindle, I would have boug

   I use Feedly pretty much everyday. A recommendation engine for news doesn't really cut it for me. But of course, it would be a good exercise in ML.

   Same here. But I don't use a TLD. I name it after the app. So, crm_dev, app_dev, etc.

    I'm currently developing a mobile app using React (web, not native). And I'm using the regular bootstrap. What advantage does react-bootstrap have? I seriously don't want to learn a new framework.

    Classic sales talk, huh? Devs must be in the thousands, but the users of their apps might figure in the millions :)

    Yes, my email going into their spam folder always worries me. I usually opt for an online application if they have one on their website. No wonder, lever.co seems to be doing well.

    Is a reply really necessary. Granted, when a reply does come through (even if negative), it feels good that you've been noticed. I'm not sure how the hiring culture has changed recently, but I remember around 8-10 years back, I&#x

    I can understand the depression. I was unemployed for 4 months in 2014, and went through a major depression. I couldn't even muster the energy to look for a new job, just the thought of looking into my Vim editor made me feel miserable

    I believe they are from the DirectI group. DirectI started very early in India when no one had any idea what the hell a domain was. They did (and still do I think) domain registration, web hosting, etc. Pretty simple stuff, but they started

    Great job! My current project involves a whole lot of SVG and I'm quite happy with the performance. I'm using the Snap svg library and some hard coded SVG. Perhaps d3.js is causing the dragging to slowdown? Have a look at SNAP.svg

    Why am I being down voted? Is my comment not relevant at all to the topic? Why not just ignore my comment or reply with the advice? We need that new moderator quickly! :)

    The headline is really wrong. Mozilla is shipping compiled and executable code to us. Now, if its Perl, I can confidently say I'm shipping Perl code to you. Small nitpick, I know :)

    If it's a purely learning project for myself I would usually pick a new language which I would like to learn. If it's not, you owe it to your client to have an open discussion about which backend (and frontend) language to select.

    Thanks. Its in Beta release and I've started advertising using Facebook and Google Adwords. So users can test and send feedback. My aim is to first provide a complete web based music notation app. And ultimately a library of licks and

    I really liked React and the idea of components with two way data binding. Unfortunately I found it just doesn't work well with SVG. If you have some HTML divs to manipulate, great. Also if you have good experience in JavaScript overal

    I'm running http://lickcreator.com which is a web based music notation software. Still in Beta, so no revenue. Been at it for six months now, kinda slow, but I had some new stuff to learn like SVG and Web Audio API. Experim

    So I have a normal user account at $7/month. Great, I now have unlimited private repos. I also had an organization a/c (only 1 user) at $9/month. I switched to the $25/month, so yes, its now costing me more. I understand

    Our memory is limited. Besides why clutter it? Use an external storage facility to track what needs to get done. Also, don't clutter it. Set priorities and limit your TODO list to a max of 5. If you find that your TODO list is expandin

    Nice post. A bit nostalgic but we all need a meme to get readers interested. In the OP's case its "I'm getting older, but I still love what I'm doing. Come join me!". What I do when a new tech hype comes along, is a

    Drugs are harmful. Especially in excess. Are you willing to make all illegal drugs available without moderation? Let it be. We are good as it is. I personally have suffered from an excess of Marijuana and Alcohol and its not pleasant. I&#x2

    Yeah, I had to. The doc I was seeing at that time diagnosed me with bipolar disorder and discontinued all anti-depressants. I'm no judge, and I believe medical science is tough. But there's no real empirical evidence. So anyways,
