The analogy is closer to: Git ~ Text Editor GitHub ~ Microsoft Word Sure, git is a commodity service, just like text editors are a commodity product. It's trivially easy to migrate a Git repository to a different service, but quite a b

While I agree with the general idea, I completely and utterly disagree with both his examples and approach. First, it's almost like he's arguing that IE6 was a good thing for the web. This one completely boggles my mind. Yes, some

In this case, I don't think the technology was as surprising as the fact that it came from outside the Taxi industry. Who would have thought that it would be easier to create a global fleet of drivers from scratch than it would be to u

So, books, magazines, and virtually every form of print should have margins, but the web should have the text go right up to the edge of the browser? I disagree that a sensible max-width is wasted screen real-estate. Even after resizing my

Is there a reason why you can't do functional programming in JavaScript. Unless I'm mistaken, there isn't anything about JavaScript that explicitly prevents you from doing functional programming. Even then, I think we all und

I think this is just one of those things that every developer needs a healthy balance of. BFED qualities are required to ship code on time with minimal defects. Using the latest-and-greatest technology helps drive growth as a developer, but

At first I was turned off by this as well. Once I started using React in practice though, it turned out to be pretty nice. It significantly reduces cognitive overhead when thinking about frontend elements. And if you're worried about y

Sure, you can write your own packages in vanilla JS. Unfortunately though all of the documentation (and most packages themselves) are all written in coffeescript. Basically, the only way you can write a plugin in Javascript is if you alread

Time tracking is one of those things that I see constantly being reinvented. Whether it's spreadsheets that get emailed, completely custom solutions, or one of the numerous services available, few of them actually provide anything new.
