   - "This will change your life as a developer" - "The Git interface you've been missing all your life has finally arrived." How can those possibly be factually correct brags? Edit: Looking in to swisspol's real

   Right. So... SHOW and don't tell ;) -- ie Axe/change the heckle raising verbiage. Edit: If you make something great you don't need to brag, it's just great, and people will get that. Edit 2: Think of it like this. You&#x

   The general verbiage, tone and saying things like "It will change your life as a developer" makes me not really want to look into it. Show, don't tell, that's my advice. Anyway, the main point is you are making an effort

   It's a religious argument at best. Laravel is keeping php at the cutting edge in terms of frameworks. Php 7 in terms of core features and optimization. Essentially, the same php naysayer article crops up a few times a year for the past

   What I really like about this is, finally we have a way to calculate the salary of sysops workers. Run .. gcc --pricing .. once per month and multiply the total by 1000. It's totally ungameable and measures the direct value each sysops

    I'm 46 and super excited about coding and learning new stuff even after 26 years. I feel no different to my 25 year old work mates.

    I work in a k12 ed tech company. In most schools I've seen, by the time the internet gets to the users device, the quality of service is astonishingly bad. Even in schools that purport to have a big pipe coming in. Low bandwidth per us

    I think the main building block is to have mental elasticity and willingness to try new ideas and technology. Also, you need to be willing to get over the hump. That part when you are looking at something like node or rabbitmq. You've

    You're getting down votes because it's simply not true. It's not about age it's about the person. And it couldn't be more wrong to say that there's nothing to learn after 8-10 years, even in web. But let's

    Somehow I can't equate myself to my age number, 46. In 25 years there has never been a moment when I wasn't in love with learning the latest cutting edge tech. Over the years it's been so much fun... ...to progress from the B

    If you've been following HN for 4+ years then you will have noticed that, in some ways, HN is already an echo chamber. The same regular startupy stories with different titles crop up as each new batch of folks discover HN. I'm tal

    Could the blockchain be used as a send only once system? I mean if you used the blockchain as a message queue it could be pretty reliable, no?

    I agree, Titanium classic is really great to work with once you get up and running. I tried Alloy but quickly realized it slows things down and makes it harder to develop. So, lesson for me was use titanium classic and NOT Alloy. Also, I wo
