This reads like they were in a hurry. How many of us have written crazy debugging lines? There seems to be a morbid desire to crawl gh source code for obscure wtfs and expose the coder as a Bad Programmer. This line is in an oss project, e

There's a lot of talk about this subject as if the practicioners of coding long past the point of optimal productivity have a choice not to code when you are at that point. I don't think most of us actually have a choice - it is often a cas

1. npm When installing packages with the --local flag, the npm package manager moves up the pwd path, looking for a node_modules directory. Once installed there, packages can be required by package name in dependent scripts. Common use case

The problem with commenting code is that code is constantly refactored to deal with new invariants and edge-cases. What starts out as a great way to summarize the purpose and mechanics of a given function or statement becomes immediately st

To me, ugly code is code that gets the work done but at the price of too much complexity ( non-DRY, non-cohesive, spaghetti, callback soup ), not enough abstraction, too much abstraction, or too few quality control measures (tests). These t
