There are lots of applications which don't really benefit from being an SPA (blogs, books, etc.). As soon as you start thinking about meaningful interactions you quickly start having to pile enough JavaScript into the HTML that you qu

While I'm not a tax expert, our startup is currently building a platform to help with payouts and tax rules. As I understand it, all you need is to get a W9 from the US resident and then file a 1099-MISC annually for him. He may be s

After developing on unix variants for over 20 years, I can say that most people developing software do not use the command line. I see this every day... Even skilled developers run from command line git and into a GUI tool, instead of rea

Yes, that is exactly what I mean. The majority of people developing software are doing it inside of Visual Studio Code or similar tools, where their only exposure to the command line is when they do "create-app"

It's interesting to think that the goal of '..' was for navigation around the command line shell. Which is a tool that 95% of people developing software never really use, or use as a necessity (type one command and leave).

IMHO this is a misleading outcome. What isn't represented to remove a bias from the numbers is the number of years of experience and education. It's highly unlikely that bootcamp graduates will be working in OCaml/Erlang sinc

Warning; a few weeks ago I ended up in a debate with a co-worker and ran the performance tests on this construct. Turns out that you would be better served by ```foo.bar = bar``` since nodejs doesn't give you the performance you expec
