In case people don't know, this is often referred to as a "projectional editor" and the paradigm is also known as "Intentional Programming" in the sense that the programming environment helps capture the intent of t

I've seen that phrase in other places in its general form it just says "adults are just grown-up kids" or something like that. And I tend to agree with it.

I believe technically it "computes" the private key on the fly as you need it (it's derived from the master key plus other factors to make it unique per site/user).

I'm a fan of it but I doubt it will gain traction just because it's a little unfriendly for businesses dealing with average Joes who can't be trusted to take full responsibility.

I wrote an almost identical comment to yours last time there was some discussion about SQRL and Steve and someone mentioned the same thing (your comment is more complete). I think people have just bookmarked that page and copy-paste it as s

It's not that simple. It needs an app to store/manage your identity. It is however a protocol so it's possible to have many different clients for it.

The problem is the businesses want to have their cake and eat it too. Damned if you do damned if you don't. If you don't focus on edge cases then later it's your fault for being sloppy. If you focus on edge cases you are &quo

There are a lot of them around to burn through. And you bet trophy employees get treated differently.

You could also say that the observations that you point out is simply the outcome of economic forces at play. That degree of professionalism is not rewarded enough. Or the lack of it is not punished. So from the perspective of a business pe

In principle absolutely, full disclosure realistically I honestly don't see myself being able to spend time on it between everything else. Love to chat further about it if you are interested or had something specific in mind that you w

I don't have that much experience but for what it's worth I have not heard of or seen that. That seems a bit bizarre to me.

Is the puffer machine a thing? Or you just came up with it?

I will go ahead and make this prediction for the amusement of myself (hopefully) and others in 5 years. Here it comes: "AI will not become as big as people want to believe today."

True but the general point stands correct. With a consulting engagement there's usually a higher expectation of consistent proportional value delivered. It's more transactional (we pay $X we get Y). As a salaried employee at least

Isomorf is the closest thing I have seen to what I was talking about. https://isomorf.io/#!/demos If you are interested search for "Intentional Programming".

Even if they are extremely familiar with the tooling it's still a huge problem. People get seduced by unrealistic examples online and think "oh easy just drop this little config thing here and done". The problem is the little

Believe me I used to do lots of PHP+Postgres+jQuery but after experiencing React I just feel like shooting myself after writing some CSS selectors and binding event handlers. It feels like trying to start a fire with a stick when you have a

Consulting can sometimes be arguably worse than the job in that aspect. At least with a salaried job some ups and downs is expected, with consulting if you are charging by the hour people demand value by the hour. I was thinking more in ter

The only way around this is working for yourself. Then you don't have to explain to anyone. I experienced the power of this when I was working for myself. On some days I worked for 16 hours, other days only 3. Some of the best ideas I

Node + Koa + React (server side rendering) + ReactRouter + Redux + TypeScript + Postgres Not because they are so great but because everything else is even worse. After significant React experience I can no longer tolerate send-html-template

Hmm I don't know enough about Datomic/codeq. Data storage for a demo of something like that is not really hard. Something as simple as a json object would work fine. One hard part is to make it tolerant of incomplete/invalid

I doubt this is what you were looking for, but I want to see a programming language that is not text based. For the past decades no one has been disrupting programming at a fundamental level. We are stuck with a "program must be a bunc

I'm not sure I fully understand your question. Of course text would still be highly involved in the process. But the unit of a program will not be lines in files stored on a file-system. The program will be a data structure and what th
