I think maybe more it’s the peak of platformization which all regress to the mean. There’s still a lot of interesting things to find, it’s just a lot harder and you have to venture off the main platforms quite a bit.

I agree with you. But I guess the problem stems from having to prioritize between building the next shiny thing or actually going back and fixing the problem. Even worse is that many of these problems have rather low short-term impact and

I feel like this is missing the point. The point is that it’s illegal to reject a cancellation no matter the medium it was delivered on. So in order to not deal with the overhead and legal trouble of managing napkins that people slip your e

I think the main problem is that MVCs aren't really a good way to write interfaces. You have so many state values that needs to be stored somewhere (dropdowns, input values etc). I'm not saying that redux is a good use-case everyw

Just visited using my phone. The site is barely responsive and therefore had a hard time understanding what the tool is about. Might be worth fixing! Otherwise, based on the comments here, looks like a really cool service!

I've had a small course on programming for kids in ages 9-12. The biggest challenge by far is the setup part. I asked them to type an URL and they ended up googling it instead. That's why I decided to do as much unplugged activiti

If we're talking about lectures - Personally I don't really take notes but instead try to write a summary of the lecture afterwards. I feel that this helps my memory further than taking notes during and going back to them afterwar

The C# community is developed and mature, but that shouldn't really matter if it's just for learning purposes. I found that learning to code in a language like c#, Java etc. really made me a better programmer. Especially for under

That seems like a pretty useful link. Also looking at it I feel pretty confident that I didn't miss out on too much like you said. I guess it's just a matter of overcoming some kind of social phobia of being seen as a "you wi
