   Testing obviously is essential to the final product but TDD kills creativity by stifling flow.

   This is why I disagree fundamentally with TDD - it kills the creative spark. Whatever happened to hiring dedicated testers in order to give the creatives freedom to do what they do best?

   This article, written in 2015, is so out of date. Platform apps have changed the game with native mobile outpacing web internet access. Many users in China, for example, do nearly everything through a couple of apps such as TaoBao and WeCha

    Unusable Address Book. For me horizontal view is essential and now it's borked, ie. all email addresses lumped together as Email Addresses and the same for Phone Numbers and Addresses. How can this possibly be touted as an improvement?

    Exactly. I'm not a great fan of PHP but nothing has produced more killer apps in the last 25 years.

    For those of you too young to remember check-out Microsoft's history of embrace and extend, their Linux/SCO patent racket and their refusal to implement web standards when Internet Explorer had dominant market share. If you had li

    I've heard this time and time again but I just don't buy it. The only similarity between Ruby and Elixir is syntax and even there I'd say it's a superficial likeness. Beyond that Elixir and Ruby are almost diametrically

    Elixir performance similar to Go? That's stretching it a bit. Elixir is fast within its own niche - network I/O - but it's a dynamic language so can't compete with Go on, say, heavy calculations or other CPU-intensive ta

    React easier compared with what - imperative PHP4 at Facebook in 2004? I'd have to disagree. React state management is much heavier than returning HTML from an embedded PHP template.

    I'm not sure. The bar for UI has been raised significantly since Facebook launched and mobile has changed the game to such an extent that you need a presence on 3 platforms out of the door (iOS, Android & web) to even stand a chanc

    Companies don't pay designers megabucks so that you can just rip their carefully crafted sites to pieces. Besides, there's Reader in Firefox and Safari which does just what you want.
