I remember last year I was going to start playing around with Atlassian JIRA API because of the massive installation my employer has (hosted internally, today's version: JIRA v6.3.11) and the experience was like an uphill battle. If I

It made sense back in the days when the book was published and there weren't too many IDEs (or development that depend on IDEs).

SAP has S4/Hana: cloud or on-prem, your call. I do not think it will acquire SaaS SMB in ERP/SCM.

I would like to know how much out of 21% are for scripting/shell/utility, how much for services, how much are truly part of the real products. Calling scripting/shell/utility for "backend" might give wrong idea

Very wrong sounds absolutes while my statement clearly generalizing the situation, which means there will be rare exceptions. But those are just rare exceptions.

Plone, while written in Python, should be considered as a packaged app. These small units of govt and edu mostly just install it with a few modifications/installed plugins. No offense to disqus but they are relatively small. So I belie

LinkedIN is a Java/Scala shop. Other than Dropbox (well, technically they seem to move toward Go/Rust? for core critical infrastructure), I rarely see medium to big scal projects using largely Python. Instagram, while uses Python,

Google and Facebook use Oracle, not for their main product but for their back-office. eBay also used Oracle in the past (if you dig back in the past of their architecture/design of eBay).

Is the ratio of compensation really 2-3x? One datapoint: Senior Dev (say Level 1 Senior) base pay is $100k. So are you saying SF will pay this person at least $200k?

Google was never big on Enterprise marketing materials in the past. Now that things have changed (re-org Alphabet, new Cloud leadership), they seem to take marketing/sales (and hopefully support) more seriously (and with more tradition

Thank you for this great advise! I guess I hang out with the wrong circle ;). Most developers around me typically would just download something that is free (if it's cross-platform it gets +1 added-value since often we switch between W

I'm totally amazed by this (10k/month from postico, mac app only). What _is_ your selling point for postico? I'm genuinely curious since there are other SQL client apps out there that either: 1) free or 2) F/OSS or 3) cr

I tried Vala once and didn't really like it. It's me not Vala. I enjoyed proper tooling: SCM (e.g.: maven), test automation (unit-test framework), some form of IDE.

To the author: I really respect you for building a startup back home but this article feels more like a rant all over the place though. It also sounds like you don't really know the market in Indonesia and you're trying to replica

Perhaps both of you and the author are half-right? :) This is his statement: > People can demonstrate acts of leadership regardless of their title and can do so in many different ways, simply by taking action on something without the ex

Oh, for sure, it's a simple helper function but the ramification is huge! 1. Which user? which role should the test written as? 2. Suddenly bug showed up because expectation between roles differ (usually the bug is in the test framewor

It will hurt when your end-to-end tests (minus UI) must be run per check-in and as your code gets bigger. Some companies invest in huge infrastructure to speed things up (paralleling until you can't...) but in that situation, suddenly

Unit-Tests can be helpful when working with Java as they can give you a semi REPL-like environment (especially if your IDE integrates well with JUnit). I find both Integration and Acceptance Tests could potentially hide many bad internal de

In my area, usually the employers with job-posts that mention a long-list of techs are from health insurance/claim industry. Occasionally I saw ads like that being posted by small game companies/digital marketing companies; they f

I'm on LinkedIN and I don't mean to brag but I never listed long-list tech stuff on my LinkedIN. I'm still being recruited albeit I... kinda suck though. I'm definitely not Google material (just between you and me ;)).

I was on the other side of the table: as an interviewer (plus a resume screener). I've seen this before with my own eyes but then my experience is just an anecdote: back in the 1998-2005 era, people keep piling on multiple technologies

I see this all the time but you can't compare apple (doctor) to orange (software developer). Doctor is more "trustworthy" (perception-wise) as they get older while Developer is more in-demand when they're younger. Doctor

Hi Justin, I'm currently trying to get my feet wet on GAE. Judging from your statement, are you suggesting that people should look into Managed VMs and maybe skip the regular GAE (or known as the original GAE)? Perhaps the original GAE
