Redis is incredible. I built a matchmaker with it as the sole data store and it has been a breeze to use. It's so simple to visualize data structures with it and I just can't see myself using any other in-memory data store. Also R

Yeah sorry, I really don't buy it. Strong typing is admittedly great and there are solutions to introduce that in JavaScript. However, this is hardly a dealbreaker in complex apps written in JavaScript. OOP, interfaces: debatable and u

I’m sorry but I guess I’m still missing the point. How is it not productive? It takes me a few seconds to get a REST API going.

I can't agree with this article at all. Having an JSON API and a small web app bundle that you can deliver with a highly-available CDN removes a ton of scaling problems related to SSR and gives a clean separation of concerns both from

Yeah, I don't buy that. React and Vue are dead simple.

You mean ludicrous? `node_modules` directory topping 60+ mb means nothing when the final product is an optimized bundle or a `node` process loaded in memory. A large majority of developers don't care about this because they're jus

This is exactly right. I was at two companies in Florida who were "agile" and it was extremely pathetic. Daily standups, marching orders, insane requirements and deadlines, overly long meetings, tons of PMs and 0 automated/QA

That blog post is so slimy. Making Unity look like the bad guy when there's clearly business dealings in the background that the public is unaware of.

So in essence, this doesn't affect anyone except for SaaS platforms that are attempting to release their own products while heavily using Unity's engine within them. Which 100% makes sense. You're building your company based

The answer is less deep than that. Hacker News is now regularly used as a recruiting tool. It may be that bigger companies are now also posting every month. .NET has come a long way though and I have a friend who is using it at his place, b

I thought the article was well written but I have to agree about the MongoDB use case by Epic. Mongo has its place and it is mature enough that it can handle itself in a production setting. That being said they had a massive outage due to a

Dude, don't be ridiculous. There are countless games that aren't FPS monstrosities. Into The Breach, Starbound, Galactic Civilizations, Celeste... these are all games that require you to think in some way and aren't mindless

What are you talking about? There's cures for literally every single one of those diseases you mentioned.

Completely anecdotal. While we're sharing anecdotal evidence, I have not once experienced anything you're talking about.

Elixir's Ecto is probably the most impressive ORM I've ever used. It absolutely blew my mind when I used it.

In a shop I used to work at all of the devs were looking into Entity Framework as an abstraction layer for access to an MSSQL database. They were using T4 generators to create classes based off of the tables they were interested in (it was

I'm not a fan of cryptocurrency and even these slides were horrendous. Seriously, way to make your point so poorly that not even people who agree with you want to read it. Also, this guy didn't even discuss blockchain tech. Just c

Nvidia being dicks to gamers because of Gameworks is like saying Apple are dicks to business people because of iOS. Both Nvidia and Apple create software products and only want their products to be run on their walled garden. The fallout of
