Someone who is a "User experience designer" is simply someone who can't code or draw. That's the person you should be firing. Everyone on your team should understand "user experience".

The fact that the article conflated dating advice into job searching, and mentioned hopping on a longboard would normally be more than enough for me to abort and ignore, but there is a very important nugget in there; that how you carry and

I don't really care how many lines of Java this takes, if someone commits a garbage scenario like this I'm concerned with how many lines of comments they have explaining why they're doing it instead of solving the problem correctly.

I'm a little disappointed that this type of "you too can make sacrifices and work hard...for America!" propaganda made it to the top of HN, and really disappointed that it wasn't due to irony....

I can vouch that negative reviews can be hidden, my friend wrote one and he sees "23 reviews" including his own, when he is logged in. Everyone else sees "22 reviews" and his is omitted.

I've been asked this a few times, and my response is "what is your goal in asking that question". I wouldn't say it's stupid or inane, there's no point being rude. People who ask such a bad and cliched question obviously are not very inte

Actually it makes alot of sense. He's saying that the quality and innovation of what you're building is what is important, not the fact that you're using the newest framework. By using a mature language/environment/community you'll be abl

I hate to get too Paul Graham-y on you, but it depends if this person is genuinely interested in your problem. 1-2% equity isn't going to solely motivate a talented engineer because that's unlikely to convert into life-changing money.

There is a bit of ad hominem attack in my comment, I won't deny that, because it's intentional. He's not reporting facts or offering analysis, he's offering advice and opinion, in which case the person offering it is an important part of e

I'm guessing anyone who has worked with "Enterprise" development teams has far better examples than the one mentioned. As for five whys, it's a valuable and useful exercise, but the reality is that you often need to fix the symptom first. I

He's really using money as a proxy for identity/reputation/culpability. If you have something at stake, you are less likely to act like a jackass. Craigslist's propensity for scamming (and positive frictionless interaction) is because of i

The checked exception didn't break encapsulation here, you did. You have alot more than two options, and the two you listed aren't very good ones. If foo calls bar, something might go wrong, and foo should take some kind of action. If bar

Simplicity and minimalism are independent concepts. To use the author's example, converting 100 lines of linear code to 12 3-line functions is making things shorter (minimalist), and almost certainly is making it more interesting and fun,
