If you're seeking approval from other people to determine if you're "good enough," you're heading down the wrong path. Also, this is a ridiculous conversation. The actual work of these teenage wunderkinds is very ra

Yes. Perhaps it also works when you decide to cater to the x% of consumers who are quality-insensitive. Many people will endure years of bad service, complaining the entire time while taking no action. I imagine someone there has figured ou

It could just be recommending things you buy seasonally, without recognizing the relationship between the items. Try buying lag screws, rebar pullers, etc. in 6 months and see if it recommends your baby wipes.

I know many socially adept people who have trouble making friends in their 30s. People in their 30s often are married or in a serious relationship, and spend most of their free time with their significant other. Or, people in their 30s ofte

I just wrote a post condemning the use of SPAs that emulate multi-page websites and basic browser functionality, but you provided an interesting counter-example. In fact, it goes to an extreme by being an "app" with minimal user i

Unfortunately, I have seen SPAs that emulate multi-page websites and the traditional routing mechanism. I'm even guilty of creating one, and I very quickly regretted it! It's generally not a good idea.

One of my favorite SPAs is Trello. It demonstrates a great use case for a single-page app, a highly-interactive interface based around a single view. I realize that the "single page" in SPA refers to loading a single HTML page, bu

At the end of the day, you'll still be tied to the DOM, tied to poorly specified and poorly implemented HTML specifications (e.g, ContentEditable), tied to browser incompatibilities, and tied to CSS. So the problem isn't just the

No, it is acceptable. See? Random people declaring something acceptable or unacceptable without justification isn't particularly helpful. If you want to explain why you find it unacceptable, that might actually be interesting to some

Of course you're free to criticize it, but declaring it "acceptable" or "unacceptable" without justification isn't particularly helpful.

It's a red herring. They present data about public markets to conclude there's no bubble. But the bubble, whether real or not, is generally considered a funding bubble taking place in private markets.

I never bothered learning a newfangled, flavor-of-the-week language like C. As a result, I'm an expert in COBOL and Fortran. I suspect I'm much happier not knowing C.
