My biggest pet-peeve about GitHub is its issue tracker system. It's great for one-off issues or tracking a pull-request, but beyond that its design is super unwieldy. Such a missed opportunity to crush JIRA, et. al.

Not to sound insulting, though this might be, but without knowing more details I'm going to assume you're failing at the soft interview questions. In an industry where creativity is just as important as engineering knowledge, it&#

In my career so far, it's the people who at first do not know something, then after a couple weekends come in ready to tackle a problem head-on. Those are the people who get ahead in this industry. Those are the people everyone says, &

1-on-1's are the one dedicated block of alone-time you can get with your manager. This is the moment any questions or concerns or thoughts you have about your career, your goals, anything that might be getting in your way can come up.

My suspicion is that bitcode allows the App Store team to provide Watch/iOS specific binaries for an individual device. Right now the solution is to create fat binaries that eat precious space. The watch being even more constrained can

Since it's LLVM based and Google and Microsoft are already porting clang/llvm to Windows, it's only a matter of time before Swift made available.

From what I understand, once your app crosses the 1 million download mark, Apple's Developer relations will reach out to you.

There was an earlier impression (desire?) that Windows 10 was going to do away with this marketing mess of a bazillion different versions. Yet in reality, nothing has changed. All this blog post is doing differently is finally explaining wh

I know that, but it still is 15 years of photos I now have UI showing me that I have access to at all times and I'm not sure I want that.

My problem with iCloud Photos is that I have 100 GB of photos that will now show up on my iPhone and iPad. I used to turn on iPhoto syncing with a 6-month window. So I'm not sure I want my entire collection with me always. :-| Edit: I

Fan and user of Clojure here :). It's a Lisp and popular enough to use safely and if you don't mind the syntax, go for it. You find it used in all those companies in small projects, so these companies are always looking for engine

Both Meerkat and Periscope were hyped at launch. People jumped on the hype and both apps were then left to themselves to prove they can sustain the hype. Periscope might actually make it because it does a lot of little things right to attra

Are couples so egotistical that they can only imagine having a kid that is genetically theirs? If you want to delay family life and work on your career, why is it not an obvious option to adopt when you're ready? Also, I do think compa

AWS is always going to include a premium because they take care of the DevOps portion of your infrastructure. There are plenty of virtual hosting companies that cost significantly less than dedicated hardware, if you won't need all the

How touching. This story gives me hope that I can both deeply love an adopted child and that the child will love me back.

So you're saying if Google really wants happy employees they should open more offices in downtown SF? :)

It's interesting that Google's office plan is garnering a lot of negative feedback. When Apple announced a plan to make one giant office building to house its entire corporate workforce, the general consensus was positive. Even Cu

I would recommend using std::async instead of std::thread directly as it leaves it up to the STL implementation to manage a thread pool. http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/thread/async

Before I went to "college" (it still feels wrong for me to say University lol), I too thought it would be a waste of time. I really just wanted to get out in the real-world and work. Then I went into my freshman year basically par

I attribute the change to the influx and return of a strong middle class in cities. It's easier to create "mom and pop" shops when you have affluent buyers who live a block away. Suburban lifestyle meant your nearest supermar

Swift has the potential to become a great systems language but I am cautious it will replace Foundation/AppKit/UIKit. For example, a Swift string IS an NSString (at the moment at least). It's impossible to know for sure, but

This is why all the big tech companies give substantial raises in RSUs. It's that carrot stick along with the promise of a promotion always just within reach that makes job hopping difficult. At least plan to stay with a company for 2

Instead of thinking of WeWork as Airbnb for desk spaces, I like to think of them more like office hostels. They are relatively cheap spaces depending on how much of it you need and and how private of an area you want. They offer community e
