Devil's Advocate. Upfront an engineer might specify that they'd like to spend 60% of their time on Data Science and 20% in Architecture but this doesn't mean that they are skilled appropriately for this. What about companies

I was saying that as a developer that has experience doing design. For example, a lot of people in fashion and design are able to tell what colours go together without analysing tables or systems of complementary colours. I'm really no

This is a great series of articles but I couldn't help and think that if you have to be so analytical about this, you will do better to trade with a designer that gets it more intuitively. A lot of these rules exist simply because some

You are right that there are some problems in the language. However, I would rethink your argument based on the rapid development of the language over the last 5 years. For example, yes callbacks were very messy but very soon we will have g

I also recommend creating a nickname on Freenode (IRC) and an account on Github. Both are fairly non-biased, genderless ways of meeting people interested in technology and being around others learning to code. This is what I would suggest t

This reflects very poorly on Amazon. They should promote those that speak out about fraud that they witness and not fire them. If people like Munira Rahemtulla and Paul Kotas are still employed, it suggests to me that advertisers should be

I'm planning to launch in London for an early private beta, but when I launch publicly I will launch globally (well, at least the US + UK as they're both english speaking) as it seems uncomfortable to launch a product online and t

This is unfortunately a case of Twitter biasing technical discussions to highly literate, careful people. Good tweeting requires almost Orwellian control over writing. It needs to be extremely terse and explicit. You need to be the kind of

Conscious inference isn't always less wrong than unconscious inference. And it's likely that a subset of all perceptions might always be found to not match reality. High availability consciousness would probably require artificial

I think JavaScript's here to stay, which is why I've specialised a little in it recently. However, I also think that there are lots of programming concepts that are moving from other languages towards it. It's worth exploring

That is actually more or less what happened to me, too. :) Certain bad things which had been hanging around lifted, certain good things came into play. At that point I still had quite a depressed mindset but I had wanted to improve my life

I'm not mixing up three different points/views, I was trying to give a faithful description of my own depression?! My point was that I find the standard approach towards depression alienating because it completely discounts my own

Were you previously depressed yourself or are you just trotting out the party line? I have been depressed before. While it's true that some people can take medication and receive platitudes and coping methods on how to deal with the fa

I realised you might make the same comment face-to-face which is specifically why I chose to try to appeal to your civility. If you're not civil in person or are act differently towards groups of people that look or believe differently
