It's a pity about your friends, so I get your decision and am sorry for your losses. I don't see why taking occasional trips means you can't take life seriously though. I still live a normal life and like to occasionally try

Facebook is one that comes to mind when I read this since they started with the side hamburger style, but have switched to the standard tab bar on iOS in more recent versions. They show the current version in the article, but didn't me

I took away 2 things from this article and don't agree with him on everything: 1. If you're intention is to write evergreen content, you should probably separate it from your blog so people don't automatically assume it'

I'd argue that the test has value if it's central to what you're doing and will save you time in the long run. Not every test falls into that category, so it's a cost-benefit analysis. He talks about fiddling with UI ele

Yes, some people argue that your tests are more like a specification, so imagine that every feature would have tests. Some even argue for specifying things like constants, which runs contrary to what Martin says in this article. Overkill, I

Maybe I'm not understanding the example, but is what you're suggesting (copy/paste) even possible in sublime? The github plugin above is the closest I've seen to sublime's version. It's not perfect, but works f

Can we all just agree that premature patterns is similar to premature optimization and move on?

This. I like the look of it and it's still useful, but we need to stop abusing the word "native." Let's be clear that this is just an html framework that looks like a native app. It's still a website. This is not th

Well, there's a popular term now for some HR people called T-shaped people. The idea is that you are a generalist that has some deep knowledge in at least one specific area. It's not a bad idea to pick one specialization if you ar

Along with what everyone else mentioned, if you like podcasts, this one gave me some good insights along with the blog: http://www.sustainabletdd.com/ One aha moment for me that's talked about here is to treat your tes

Cool. I was in the early stages of doing a userscript for gmail to do something like what you have here. All it does right now is filter out specific words/phrases I know I use too much, but I found some scripts that check for passive

Assuming you haven't already, just respond to them with a well-reasoned argument why they should let it through as-is. It occasionally works. I've done it before when they tried to reject my company's app because we were usin

Well, his post is a bit inflammatory at first, but I sort of agree that processes sometimes get in the way, even the almighty Agile (big A) that some people like to subscribe to. Ultimately, it's more about the people involved. Bad tea

Part of the reason is because this is one of those apps that annoys the hell out of you to "upgrade" and get more crap. I uninstalled them pretty quick. The apps are all basically the same with different characters, and they'

I agree with you. People learn best when they can see the relationships between what they're learning and the real world. Abstract theory should be learned only after there's something for the learner to latch onto and apply it t

Wouldn't that suggest the product wasn't viable, by definition? MVP doesn't mean you can give them something that doesn't cover what they need. Maybe you cut out stuff that was actually needed to be successful. More rese

One thing that I didn't fully appreciate till I had kids was some of the hobbies I did before weren't really that important to me. There's a difference between the things you do because you truly want to and those that are ju
