There's a really simple takeaway here for everyone around all this discussion that's surfaced on HN around caste: actively ask people in your org if they've experienced this type of discrimination and take their claims as ser

I love this idea. I don't envy the work ahead of them at all though. In my career I've worked in both mechanical and software engineering and IMO the mechanical engineering involved here is daunting. Caveat: when I was in that ind

Agree-- the idea that limited means "always" fosters resourcefulness is a gross sentiment that has long been debunked. For many folks limited means just means extra stress with no added chances of success. Maybe the founder saying

I've worked with OKR's at large e-commerce companies, small tech incubators, consultancy firms and "Unicorn" stage startups. At each stop OKR's were absolutely worthless. What I really appreciate in reading this art

My apologies, you didn't-- I was just discussing further from your comment as opposed to directly replying to it. Perhaps it was not the best place for it.

This is well-trodden ground as far as discussion around here goes. The common points pro and con always come up: is the quality the same (some say yes, some say no), is co-location or time-zone location important (same parenthetical), what

Your site is really amazing. Well done! I was a mechanical engineer for a bit and it's fun going through your lessons and reacquainting myself with that world.

My comments were an observation based on what I've seen recently, and none were intended to be a value judgement on any work being done in JS-land. I just don't see a Rails-esque competitor rising from JS land anytime soon and gai

The third age of JS is going to be really exciting. People treat JS-land as something that has a first class language that can build major production tools and applications. Cloud providers support JS for nearly all aspects of their large p

There's still a lot of magic floating around in code bases. I still see window passed into functions in the name of efficiency. You'll still see all sorts of varied opinions on html/css efficiency. It's certainly gotten

I really appreciate NDPI (Not Deep Programming Insights) like these. As programmers we seem to continually seek Grand Unified Theories in the hopes of simplifying our life or ascending to a new level of existence. It's nice to file inf

I appreciate the minor insight provided by seeing a language where control structures can only happen upon function return. I've had to teach recursion to many beginning students, and I have a feeling that seeing something like the Cha

These flowchart guides to being an X developer are posted on here periodically, and they're often pilloried for being bloated and intimidating. I think they're plenty fine, they just require the right framing. The keyword for this

Full time Front-End dev here-- this site is pure delight. Reading the markup and seeing the styles is a real pleasure. It's the web as it was always intended to be, simple, effective, effortless.

I use redux-form and really enjoy it. A modern form UI has a lot of considerations that classic html/css forms do not: * The concept of pristine/untouched inputs * Basic and custom validations * Resetting forms to various states *

I always love a new article from PG, but this one kind of misses the mark. I really appreciate how PG applies a sort of pattern matching sense of logic to the world to create really novel insight-- his pattern match here is that haters are

I'm feeling this hard at my place of work. We can't ask probing questions about people's real behaviors and actions, so while projects are running far behind we're not asking why. We're great at keeping a calm head

For those wanting something a bit less intense, the Recurse Center in NYC is a great place to practice a few months (or now even just a week) of self study with some of the brightest folks you'll ever meet.
