I'd be very wary about investing my time and resources on a platform with such a corrupt CEO. Just a few months ago he was blatantly lying* about the massive security issues they were having. * https://news.ycombinator.com&

It sounds like you use React well and it's reasonably light and performant. The current project I'm on has a React frontend where typing in a text box is laggy due to how horrific the code base is. You're correct in saying

Understood. Thank you. It makes sense that you would move on this urgently and confirm it's success only after.

Perhaps I'm missing something, but are you saying you trusted that the malware documentation is correct?

I'm more hopeful as well. I'm just wary that vendors may find a way to screw it up.

I want to believe, but I'm worried that it won't work any better than their past efforts to address fragmentation. eg Android Update Alliance (2011). I'm sure there were other failed promises, but I can't recall offhan

For cryptocurrency, yes. People love to hate it.

I think revicon was getting at using a decentralized system to track magnet URIs.

Are you assuming that mtgox would sell it as fast as possible and drive the markets down as much as possible? They've been in debt for years, surely taking a month to sell off the Bitcoin would not be unreasonable. Additionally larg

Can anyone suggest a Linux video calling app that auto answers calls. That is from a headless server. I use mine as a baby monitor and Skype has a great feature where you can allow it to auto answer from know callers (only myself). It se

Sure. I spent a ton of time finding something. Happy to answer any questions about the process. I found the plugin on flippa.com. Flippa has a lot of crap. Maybe almost all crap. But there are some good things there if you just watch f

I'm in a similar position, a web developer with a reasonable salary interested in side income, but not interested in onerous responsibilities of running a business. I've been had two projects I'm sort of happy with 1. A shop

I think it's more cultural than efficient. Working more than 60 hours for most people results in no added outputs.

I understand that it likely "won't matter". My point was to ask if it was worth talking about outliers to the Never Rewrite law. eg it's assumed when talking about refactoring over rewriting that a large portion of feat

Banning SE really doesn't go far enough then does it? Perhaps any site with a text box should be forbidden.

Same issue and conclusion for me. I'm leaving the 40 hour work force in 4 months.

by kentt 9y ago
Is this article being intentionally ironic? I agree with the idea that not questioning the 40 hour work week is crazy. However, it seems like the author is substituting 40 hours of butt-in-chair work for 35 hours of the same and 5 hours of

That would replace less than 1% of what my PM does. But I work for a smaller company so perhaps I don't understand the use case.

I get that people don't love work in America in the way you're saying. I think the idea is that in America you're less likely to get a positive reaction to things such as you're the man and the primary breadwinner: - Yo

Thanks. Based on your feedback, I'll evaluate Codecanyon again when I revamp my plugin. Just so you know, I didn't mean to come across as flippantly judgemental about Codecanyon or WP plugin devs. All the best.

Would love to know as well. I'm selling a plugin from my own site and had wrote of Codecanyon once I saw their pricing structure. I'm a bit curious if a big part of the reason is that doing the payment & plugin delivery is d

Deep Work is great! I agree that after reading it the collaboration part is very difficult. Unfortunately the best solution that I've been able to come up with is to work on projects that can be accomplished by myself alone. It&#x27
