This is exactly the system that we use. The downsides that we have encountered so far: - Pooling our money in a shared account makes it seem like we have money than we actually do, leading to overspending - We each have different ideas of w

I'm working on a project right now that lacks well-specified requirements, yet we're barreling ahead with the implantation. I'm not exactly sure what's going to happen. My guess is that we'll end up with an MVP that

I work in a position that is exactly as you’ve described. To get this sort of position, I searched for small companies that have a developer position that I’m well-qualified for. To be fair, I started on-site and became remote when I moved

I stopped freelancing after someone sent me death threats for cancelling work on a $200 project that they kept increasing the scope of. Not worth it.

While I agree that individuals should consider the ethics of the projects that they work on, I think it's unfair to place the entire burden on them. Those in management who make the product requirements in order to sell the software ar

The typical way to solve this problem would be to keep the data stored in a normalized relational database. There would be a Customer table and a Visits table. Since the data is normalized, the Customer table would contain only one entry pe

I've been using the Everlance iOS app for a few months now, which tracks miles driven, revenue, expenses, and receipts. It supports having various types of work that need to be tracked separately. I also like that it stores receipts in

It would be great if you could provide some concrete examples. I use DDG for technical searches almost daily and never encounter this problem.

It's pretty easy to find sources on this, although I'm sure that you can find conservative media sources that would support a contrary opinion (as is the case for most things). Maybe try using DuckDuckGo to ensure that you're

Given that a large majority of the public supports this, why is it the responsibility of Democrats to advance this bill?

I experienced this on another level while working retail at a musical instrument store for a few years. People would pick up any instrument and play whatever they wanted for however long they wanted-- at whatever volume they wanted. Althoug

Expressing the intent of the code significantly improves maintainability. I think it's important to realize that the problem of missing intent is often only noticed upon review of the code. So in my opinion, the moral of the story isn&

“Who knows if React will be used 5 years from now?” It will be. I work on an application that still uses JS libraries from 5-10 years ago, simply because refactoring to use a new library is usually unnecessary (or even counterproductive). T

I wonder if it will even be a problem for me? I've spent my whole life learning how to create and use new interfaces, so hopefully I'll retain the ability to do so as I age? Or maybe AI will have advanced so much that it understan

As a software developer, people tend to assume that I’m really into hardware as well. They’re usually surprised when I tell them that I prefer to buy older hardware and keep it running for longer. I often skip multiple generations of device

I walk faster in the city because there are more people who are walking faster and if I walk slower, they will walk around me, which is more annoying in the city due to the closeness by which people walk. If people kept a respectable distan

For me, web development quickly led to full stack development. Once you can comfortably write the full stack, you’re pretty much guaranteed to find a job doing that somewhere. I recommend looking at job posts for the jobs you want and teac

I learned some ES6 basics in 2018 and began the slow process of refactoring older JS to use it. I also swapped jshint for eslint, and chutzpah for karma. Oh and upgraded Bootstrap from 3 to 4. Hoping to have the chance to replace requirejs

On fixing bugs, the author writes: “...there is always a logical explanation for why a computer is behaving in a certain way...” I agree. Determining the logical explanation for why a bug exists is required in order to fix a bug correctly.

The project I work on used to rely on a relatively old JS table library. It was fairly well maintained and had a ton of great features. However, we eventually had to replace it with a simpler custom solution based on html tables. Compared t
