Often when I read articles/books with this sort of advice I get halfway and think to myself "Hmmm... I really should write my own book about programming stuff". I'm sure many other senior programmers have similar thought

My comment stands for over-ear headphones as well - it's just not going to matter for 90% of users. An Apple dongle is usually more than enough. I have several different amps, a tube pre-amp, several DACs and a Qudelix 5k DAC. I regula

Audio is a very interesting and strange hobby. For example, this amp is probably fantastic, but 90% of people probably don't even need one, and those who do can probably get away an Apple dongle or something similar. Some people will s

Many of these comments talking about how many pro-this or anti-that news exist are quite baffling. I don't really think that's the point. I think the point is more about the existence of groups with links to private companies and

But surely this should be already inherently known? I have never met anyone that stuck dogmatically to "rules" from things like Code Complete, Clean Code etc etc no matter how much they espouse them. Very simple examples: - 1

I will never understand the general thought process behind these articles. "I'm giving up on X/Y/Z because I've found a case where it didn't work well for me". Isn't that how pretty much everything

I'm glad many people have identified why "pushing ifs up" is often bad advice. This article should give examples of when and why you should use either approach. Furthermore, I would argue that there's far too little in
