Ha! The comments prove the article's point! If you think JavaScript isn't too that bad, you need to think about whether you're truly a programmer at heart.

This comparison is specious and unfairly undercuts the ThePhysicist's point. People of that generation, outside of commuting, were an exceptionally social generation. Family dinners being important and often required, where you shared

Our first world problems are such a drag. I think you can make most any coding job fun if you do it right. Are you interested in making things better? Adding CRUD? Bake in a better object layer to the data store. Front end developer

If you're in tech, the way to do avoid this is: - Develop mission critical systems. - Make sure no one else understands them. - When you're gone, break them so your employer suffers and realizes they can't be without you. - A

We need to stop calling them "smartphones" and call them what they really are - "personal computers." The previous personal computer is now a "work computer." A smartphone's phone capability is now a smal

Oh, thanks, that clears it up. It's kind of ironic that after dumping all over the intarwebs he's now trying to rely on the good graces of the intarwebs. I imagine there's enough people out there it'll work at least a

Thank you for the reconsideration. I've never actually been in a fight in my entire life (probably why I got bullied so much) and it took every last ounce of my self control to walk up to someone who had already had a history of viole

No, not true. The parents of bullies are usually bullies themselves. The solution is to draw a hard line and say, I will take this so far you won't want to go where it ends up. When I was a kid I got pushed so far that one day, when

Who in the heck is writing this stuff? Are they just hacking together crappy sites in an effort to get things running as soon as possible? Bitcoin isn't going anywhere until the people who trade in it approach competence.
