One of the things why Firefox OS looks appealing to me: Mozilla is being so open about every part of its architecture that situation such as this one is hard to imagine.

Another magical thing (that I'm yet to try myself) is automated testing against live system. This ensures that the system actually works in production, not just on staging or test environment set up specifically for QA. I was initially

There are two kind of significant problems with headers that hide as you scroll, in my experience. 1) You can't easily get to the navigation when you do need it—have to scroll up some uncertain amount that varies by site (this unknow

You're right—I can't think of any more terms that have connotations of comparable negativity (though quite a few plainly odd-sounding ones). I will blame my indifference to this question on my English non-nativity. :) The only rem

If we don't want our jargon to sound awkward to laymen, we've got to replace a lot more words than master and slave. Industry terms are valuable, though, aren't they? They allow expressing complex concepts unambiguously, an

I guess it depends. A freelancer hired through oDesk by default has a clearly defined job and zero incentive to care about ‘nice and clean’. Sometimes I just can't help thinking that the code I maintain has been optimized, foremost, fo

IMO, as it often turns out to be, whether or not the code is copied and pasted doesn't matter by itself. A competent programmer borrowing code would likely factor it in in a way that won't present maintenance burden later on, and

My takeaway is the opposite—you buy Glass to buy Glass. A wearable computer with 1 hour battery life isn't practical, any your expectations won't be met, but you can be closer to the future so that you invent appropriately. Think

Obviously such workflow, while being fairer, requires a reliable sandbox of some kind—even though one might argue that in a university such things may be of less importance and that allowing for some degree of hacking is educational and per

Can you expound on the kind of infrastructure you have in mind? In my experience it's enough to have some tests and a documented way to run them. (Poorly written tests, though, is another story. Having to spend an hour figuring that ou

Isn't it simple? Passing unit tests by definition don't guarantee that your software works. Passing system or acceptance tests do. Unit tests are still nice to have, which DHH doesn't seem to oppose. Along with good documenta
