Nice, thanks for the book recommendation. Im on the lookout for this exact type of material lately after the realisation that for the amount of design work I do ive really failed to put in a proportionate amount of learning effort compared

Good point. In fact, Jono says this: > With this in mind, just because someone may have differing > views to mine on the implementation of privacy in software > doesn’t mean they are wrong. Likewise, just because

This is exactly what I thought. The purpose of the "isTestPage" method is to hide the implementation. It's a basic OO principle, not some controversy stirred up by Robert C Martin. I hated seeing somebody argue against it because we'd be be

I used to take this approach. One day I found I had no choice but to remap CapsLock as a second Ctrl key because my little finger was in constant agony otherwise. I've never had a second's trouble from the finger since then, but you should

It can be useful to be able to open vertical splits running things like "watch jslint" or "watch rspec" while you code.

I've just had a look at the free excerpt and I think you might have made the most perfect book recommendation I've ever seen. A bit on the expensive side, but it'll be good to get a fresh perspective on this after perhaps a little too much

The post is essentially another take on the Single Responsibility Principle. It's a good principle, and Rails model classes are also a good choice of an example where it's frequently violated. Rails practically begs you to disregard SRP i

Most people don't seem to know that search engines exist. The impression I get from non-technical people that I know is that they think of search engines as being somehow "part of the browser" or "part of the Internet". They often don't eve

Sounds like quite a different set of tactics from to the cross-country theatre of war. There is a whole other type of player on the x-country trains: the seat-reserver. These people allocate themselves an assigned seat number for their jour

Also note that the article never states that those caught taking money for writing articles will face any consequences. Sleazy stuff, but who expects any better from TC?

Apart from the things I voted for (fun, learning, new tech, itch-scratching, portfolio), I do it for creative control. As a developer with just a little over two years experience, the world of work only very rarely seems to give a shit what

You've got so many things right with this, I'm really impressed. Supporting login via Github and accepting Bitcoin payments makes the "for Geeks" tagline come across as honest. Similarly, being really upfront about the hosting referral link

I love this. I have a suggestion too. Reddit's REST API is pretty quirky because it's so tightly coupled with their own front end code. Here is a quote from the code that handles posting a comment ( https://github.com/reddit/reddit/blob/mas
