I never understood why you needed ORM for a database that stores objects... Validation is the only problem it helps in but there are other ways of doing that. ORM for Mongo is silly....

Indeed, planning for 3 months to make sure you've done no wrong is much better than coding for a weekend, and determining then if you've made the right decision. Funding engineers for 3 months isn't all that expensive and everyone always m

So far for me 100% of candidates claiming self taught can barely code a for loop, much less explain at a high level how a compiler works or the difference between a heap and the heap. In most cases they don't even know the foundations of t

That works so well on an airplane without wifi, or a tent in a valley in the wilderness :)

The post isn't under valued. Marc Benioff would have probably had Zuck's number on speed dial and been on Barack's 2nd level on LinkedIn. If you have rock star engineers that can crack out a highly technical product on short order, why no

Unix is the one with 70 character commands? Have you even seen Unix? It's not a matter of taste, at all. Once you learn the language you can do quickly do anything. Hell you can refactor your entire source tree faster than someone can fi

I used to have a beast of a machine with a VM for IE6 - 9. It was super easy to test all of them simultaneously. In modern times however, I think when we try to support IE it will be 9 and higher. It's not that it's too much work, rather

Almost all of them are gang related--YAY drug war! As an upper middle class software engineer it's not really a good argument. Though the poverty and hopelessness can be a little sad if you walk through the bad areas.

I was implementing a proof of concept in WebGL for my product and thought, I wonder if someone has implemented a WebGL modeler yet? After a bit of search ran across Tinkercad... Was a super impressive product, and don't know why more peop

No, I think the resources you spend on camping are very much part of the experiences they are referring. Likewise renting a studio and jamming with your friends is another experience that plays into this. You need tools for any given hobb

Back in the day they had a finger up on some random id Software server. They were just as present back then as they are now, it's just that the people without knowledge of usenet and Unix can interact with them :)

"don't necessarily have the skills or desire to become experts in publishing and distribution," They don't have to be experts, they just have to be good enough. If the decision is 100% of profits goto a label or 30% go to Apple if I just l

After 2 weeks of using Sublime I just did this: rm -rf /Applications/Sublime\ Text\ 2.app/ I will never neglect you again VIM. You've been so good to all of us.

Irony seems lost on the whole tech community lately... Brogrammers are funny for three reasons spanning three groups: 1) The irony that hacker culture has adopted the mores of frat culture. 2) That people think 1 is actually serious and ado

For a startup that has minimal chance of ever getting the capital to get off the ground it is black and white. I'm not talking about a company with 200 employees and a Series C. Playing company can certainly bleed you dry before you ever g

Of course they don't, they're a fucking startup. They don't have pointy haired bosses or 900 page corporate manuals outlining when it's OK to take bathroom breaks.

This is not sexism--it's bad taste. A marketing guy that can only use sex to sell sucks as a marketing guy and I'd expect more people to jump on that aspect of the story. (I realize I'm probably jumping the gun, and he could have instance

I think the tech bloggers need to harden the fuck up. The whining is too much to bear. A note from Hitchens: “Hitch: making rules about drinking can be the sign of an alcoholic,' as Martin Amis once teasingly said to me. (Adorno would have
