I think Gulp is still in favor, but you only need it if you have more complex task running requirements. In the example, all the scripts in the package.json are just simple commands so there is no need for Gulp. If you wanted more complex s

To me Guava is still the most essential, general purpose Java library. Not just for its collection package but because of the caching stuff, graph API, and well written general purpose utilities. But I would also mention Spring 5 which I as

I wish they would focus on making the underlying platform and bytecode more amenable to all the other, non-Java languages like Scala that compile to JVM bytecode. The real value is in the highly optimized, stable, and performant underlying

It's encouraging to see some of these bad actors like Gawker and Rolling Stone face consequences for their egregious missteps. Sensational and malicious writing is not journalism.

It's crazy to me that a company with so many designers in positions of leadership could miss something so obvious. I mean I know they were aware of the problem, but why wasn't there anyone with enough perspective and influence tha

That's very true -- it is reminiscent of the old J2EE days 12+ years ago. But it didn't really take long back then for a consensus to emerge about how awful most of that technology was (enterprise java beans, etc) and for people t
