Yup. This gets posted from time to time, but if you work for a company, you really owe it to yourself to read Corporate Confidential. https://www.amazon.com/Corporate-Confidential-Secrets-Compan...

The GoF book is responsible for a lot of bad decisions made by inexperienced devs because colleges insist on using it as a textbook. It's the textbook used in most Java-based CS programs for their Design Patterns courses. It was when

Seconding this, because this is what I do for one of my projects.

If you do it with Vagrant it's not painful at all because you can then make easy directory maps to access the files. I've done this for years. Windows 10's WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) is pretty amazing though. If you&#x

"for those of us who have lived in both camps" I live in both camps. This is the same attitude I took issue with in the original article. It's condescending. "I have to keep telling you to not do something because we did

Like the article says. You point your Nginx to serve files out of the "c" drive mount point.

I'm really confused - because when I go to the site, it doesn't really say "Visual Studio" - it references tooling and Visual Studio Code. So am I missing something?

No. If you are going to develop professionally with a language then you should know how to install the environment. But that's a huge ask for people just learning. I have fought through issues of setting up a development environment fo

I moved everything to c9.io for my Rails book and workshop for the same reason.

This was a dream for coding bootcamps, classrooms, etc. Unfortunately I keep hearing from lots of places that you just can't make money in edu. But man, I love these tools for teaching people how to code. It's the only way to go.

The candidate routinely throws around the phrase "Believe me." So people are.

This is the hope I have too. Nicely put. I have been coding in JS since JS landed in a browser and right now it's just too much, with a new build system every six months, to new libraries and frameworks. This continous evolution is nec

One thing that may help is for those with experience to do a lot more teaching and mentoring. A lot of the evangelism of new technology is done by younger, hungry people looking to advance their careers. The more experienced devs sound like

by bphogan 10y ago
Exactly. Use your experience to judge a technology on merit. Does this solve a pain point in a new and interesting way, or is it the same approach in a different language?

This is exactly it. It's a lesson I learned recently. Just chill out. Don't try to "save" people from making mistakes.

I'd heard that it caused camera interference, which I don't understand. But the more plausible thing I heard was that they needed some room for that new haptic thing they put under the home button.

Because consumers don't care how developers are treated, nor do they care about walled gardens like we do. They buy the iPhone because of the brand, or they use Android because that's the free phone that was available, or the one

So including the $9 adapter in the box is just a token gesture so they can pretend to care about legacy things? I dunno - if they were really in this for making you buy new headphones, they'd not bundle the adapter, like they did in th

woah, wait..... It "geneerally works if" you " rebuild docker hosts on a daily or more frequent basis." Perhaps I'm misunderstanding, but needing to rebuild my prod env several times a day seems pretty "not rea

I'll bet five American dollars it will. The future will most likely be fewer books printed because publishers will just stop doing it and offer print-on-demand, passing the price to the customer. My tmux book was originally done like

When it comes to technical books, the cheaper bindings and glue don't matter... are you really gonna need that Angular 1.x book that far into the future? :)

Oh, that is neat. That may be exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for sharing.

I love that there are many people on here clamoring for physical copies. But over the years, I've noticed (for the books I have written and edited), print copies sharply declined and ebook copies sharply went up. It's to the point

That process is the second part of the process, once clear, basic documentation exists.

I have to agree here. There's nobody better to explain how something really works than the person who wrote it. The rest of us are just fumbling around guessing. As a dev and a creative person, I understand the desire to get something

I recommend a Summary of Qualifications that talks about what you are able to do. It's the "executive summary" that makes the HR screener want to read more. I can tailor this to the job if I need to do so. Then I recommend li

People forget the bit about poor performing machines. Developers with tech jobs often have high end machines provided to them. Many students do not, especially at public open-enrollment places. They come with whatever they have, despite rec
