A lot of people use bash scripts to setup their dev environments on new machines. I can think of several reasons why I would want an easy to install zero dependency irc client on a new machine. Bash is hands down one of the most useful lang

I'd really like to see a universal app / site rating service that judges apps / sites on their stability, privacy, security, legitimacy of requested permission, and general UX. It could then provide alternatives to the app &#

v2 cemented the fact that I will never willing build another angular app. I have no interest in frameworks that do not provide clear upgrade paths.

Would be happy to work with you sometime, people with an eye for design that can actually build their designs are worth their weight in gold. I find that most UX people I work with rely way to heavily on A/B testing. A/B testing i

So the people that came up with the failed idea get to come up with more flops. The people that built the flop get to look for a new job building someone else's future flops. I'm waiting for the surge of native developers fleeing

My designers keep asking for "pair design" sessions with me, where I open chrome inspector and "tweak" things for them. So goddamn irritating. Just learn to fucking write some html, js, and css or go back to print design

It is really difficult to explain the benefits of static analysis and type safety to people who only work in dynamically typed languages. The JS community is just now being introduced to compilers, and there is significant push back and lot

I've found that it's all about the team. If it is a small team of close knit developers who communicate well, and expect to work together for a long time. Roll your own setup, loads easier and much more flexible. If you are a corp
