I find this kind of amusing. I suspect the adoption of this varies by area/country based on how, ahem, well, poorly basic SMS is implemented and priced in that area. For example I notice that when in Germany, Whatsapp adoption is qu

Sure, but just like there's a difference between "deliberation" and "a fight", there's also a difference between "hmm, there's more to do" and "we regret the thinking we invested so far"

This can be solved with other tools and community choices. For example, introducing automated systems which update dependencies to more recent versions, run automated tests (you already have CI set up, right?), and notify authors (including

Counterpoint: coming from a Java background, I find totally freely-definable interfaces for some features used by core container types to be a little worrysome. In Java, I can't count the number of times I've debugged either corre

I really don't know where people get on this high horse and imagine that there's been some kind of fighting attitude here. I saw a talk by James Gosling (of Java fame) a few months ago in which he said one of the most important th

Thank you for your reality check. There are way too many statements which are easily echoed blindly but just as easily fact-checked (and all too often, debunked) by going for a walk there . Thank you for doing and speaking about the latte

Yes. (Mostly.) REST semantics are a distraction. The best possible outcome of REST is when developers are encouraged to consider the concept of "idempotency" when they stumble upon the technical definition of the "PUT"
