   Managers care about money only, hence they get the money. Engineers care about money and glory, hence they get none. For glory is about money in corporations and almost everywhere in this world. As an engineer, I focus on glory only, that's

   This is an embarrassing situation and I can only be compassionate. There is a lesson here: the Apple process of approval is not agile enough. Once the initial version has been approved, subsequent "minor" version should get an immediate "de

   Another option: pre-fill some content with some FB or Twitter content. Then you have "users". Whenever a user's "front' page is visited, increase that user's counter, and then display popular users on the main page. Sure, you don't have tru

    I am sad only to extend that there is some juice in SQL that the SQL people where unable to inject into JavaScript, either because of lazyness or more probably because they will never compromise at the syntax level when times come to reduce

    If the SQL guys were serious about their shit they should have patch some JavaScript at the syntax level. Instead they pushed/lobbied for the usual broken binding that is the very reason SQL is so contreversed: impedance mismatch. Of course

    That's because the source is the plan to build a table, whereas the .o file is the table itself. Tables are objects, plans to build tables are ideas.

    OK. Let's get back to some basic vocabulary: What is a table. For sure, it is thing. And for sure it is an object too. What is "the plan to build a table" For sure it is something, hence it is a thing. But is it an object? Well, if the plan

    I am amazed that there would still be discussions about what OOP is or is not. The only agreement seems to be around "polymorphing" -- the ability to define a behaviour that works consistently over many "things" that share some similarities

    Well, if you are doing anything related to the web... chances are that you cannot escape JavaScript This reduces the question to: JavaScript or CoffeeScript? Problem solved. OTOH, who enjoy living in a prison?

    As a software developer, until I see something that I consider better, there is no reason to quit. Sure, what I consider "better" is subjective. Yet, what is missing more, "perseverance" or lack of it? I think that the important thing is ac

    "sections" take care of that. The "one big file" gets processed so that each section is kept in sync with a file. Again: the idea is about make editing easier, it's an addition, your "one big file" is just a compound "view" over atomic file
