People usually miss the references that should be encoded within REST responses, The hypermedia part. You should be able to call /user/ and get a list of users whith links to the specific users. This link will be in the correct ht

I think FoundationDb got great scores from Aphyr, sadly it is now owned by Apple. For the others the big problem is when they promise some kind of ACID and cannot achieve it, if they were explicit with what the supported all customers could

It also depends on the language. In c# enums aren't required to have defined value. But it would help as documentation for what values you were expecting.

promises makes async error handling easier but it does not solve it yet. It is very easy to miss an error handling and end up with errors that goes to /dev/null leaving you with no trace of what happened. When the tools and the la

I still view this as a way to separate those who can hardly program at all from those who can. It is probably not a good way to measure if anyone is a great developer. The first part should probably be possible to answer by just talking to

But if programming (computings as he writes) is handling abstractions and math is handling abstractions then programming is math and the argument that we need to do more math is unclear. We could just do programming, he wrote that it basica

I'm not sure that type of writing is anywhere near what you need to do in common programming jobs. As you wrote, it was "4 - 7 pages of mathematical prose...". I interpreted writing as writing text to others, including non-pr

Do you have any example math questions during recruiting? I have seen more discussions about CS theory questions in recruiting. And this is still only for a few jobs most companies only care about your programming skills (and soft skills li

But he doesn't really talk about how much math he thinks a CS course should have. I personally think a few weeks might be a good idea. Many months of math takes time away from other CS parts. He writes that maths helps you get better a

Kanbanize. I also looked at LeanKit Kanban before. It seems to be almost similar, maybe a bit better, but a bit more expensive for our team. Not sure what you mean with Github issues, I don't think Kanbanize has Github connection but t

I still think build systems should be written in node and js from now on. Node is easy to install on most environments, in my experience it is much easier than python or ruby and javascript knowledge is spreading.

Although you raise a good point I do think much more than 1% of all web devs knows a lot about server side things. And for me using Firebase or similar is giving up too much control. I want to be able to build server side logic for apps.

I'm not sure the server side is much better. Complex UI is complex wherever you try to implement it. You can say that is not actually possible to create really smooth UI with animations only using server side code. And server side code

The Go team seem to have focused on command line tools for now. This include tools for refactoring Go code. Of course it would be easier to start with Go if there were an IDE with refactoring and syntax check built-in but there are at least

Bascially most .NET developers and other developers using Windows likes this. Why complain that a tool exist on a platform you don't use? Please ask MS for a Linux version of Visual Studio if you want to and think that would help Linux

JSX sounds great. I hope more people vote for it.

it is up to every test to specify. I think they did explain what kind of hand written js they compared to and if I recall correctly the tests the dart team mentions is compared do js written by experienced js developers to solve the exact s

Aren't those, with the exception of Elm, much younger and less mature than Dart? I think a language has to reach a certain level before the majority of people will use it in production. And the tooling should be stable also. I think Pu

This is probably why a lot of companies like to use closed source solutions. I have mainly been using SQL Server and there is a lot of consultants who knows how it works. In a few years I think there will be more database products with go

The proliferation of Flux frameworks will probably continue for a while. Then, hopefully, things will settle down and we will only have a few frameworks left that have clear differences which makes it easy to choose between them. I currentl

This is a great way of separating things. We did this (or something very similar) years ago with ASP.NET and it worked like a charm.

I think you're reading too much into it. I see it as a new way of working with new tools that Facebook has found to be better for them . We can try the new tools and see if it works better for us.

I think some javascript build systems are getting better, like Gulp. I'm starting to think that most build systems could/should be written in javascript from now on since you then have a scripting language that probably will run o

Not sure what you mean with "datacenter". If you mean using co-location or similar it probably works out as a small price difference. If you start with an empty room or an empty piece of ground it might cost you a lot to start bui

One piece of warning from the article regarding "last write wins": >..., this is really a "many writes, chosen unpredictably, will be lost" policy—but that wouldn't sell as many databases, would it?

I would say the output of most of the compile-to-js languages are easy or at least non-hard to read. It is usually the minification that causes problems and you don't have to do that in a development environment where you usually attac

If you want your code to be easily readable by as many developers as possible you should probably stay away from CoffeScript.
