I read the article upto the point where they consider using rest to create an entry into the rest_password_email table or some such thing. That's stupid and ludicrous. That isn't even a use case for REST. I think the writer needs

I'd read a very similar article from back in 2013 that spoke about the same concept without really calling it "BFF". The article in question actually talks about just using nodejs, but what we implemented from that at my comp

I really don't think auto drivers are dumb about there business, and this seems like a great way to solve a problem that I too face. If you can remember and retrace the route, it does seem like a one time investment with a great ROI. W

I had parents that shared quite a bit about money with me. I remember, when I was a kid, any cash gifts that I got on my birthday, festivals, etc. would be divided in two equal piles. 1/2 would go to my savings account, and the other h
