Look, I'm not advocating an attempt to keep the economy perpetually good. The fact is that we have the world in a terrible economic situation. We have an editorial baffled at the state of the things. And we also have an user saying tha

Ubuntu has already accomplished the year of linux on the desktop many years ago. Ubuntu is a good platform for development, for doing office work and even for gaming it's ok now with steam. Unless you're really dependent of a smal

Java is not a perfect language, but for what it proposes to be, a statically typed object-oriented language for building complex systems, it gets 90% right. The platform and the frameworks available for the java ecosystem are unmatched, in

Everytime they asked me "why should we hire you?", I always replied a small introduction saying that that position might be an interesting next step for my career followed by "and also your recruiter contacted me, so I guess

Even though I agree that there is probably a fixed porcentage of bastards in the world's population, I think 5% is a too high number. That's one in twenty and I don't think I will find one in twenty people who are the classic

The tipping the way it's done in America only exists in America, in the rest of the world it's not like that and consumers and staff are ok with that. Also your idea that tip creates a micro free market where highly effective staf

Young adults are only internalizing the deeply stressful and hopeless times we live in: soaring prices, low wages, typical milestones of adult life - cars and houses, for example - harder to reach, etc. Life has been hard even for people wh

It's a huge mistake the politic polarization and the abstract moral debate that there is over this subject. I see it much more like a matter of a right that's going to concern privately the majority of us in a few decades in the b

In the 60's western economists were afraid that the authoritarian central planning of the Soviet Union was intrinsically more efficient than the slowly adapting free market to the extent where economists started to study ways of incorp

We're leaving in absolutely unprecedent times: automation starting to effectively displace workers, huge demographic changes taking effect and a turning point in capitalistic system that for the last 50 years worked undisputedly to sup

I'm not sure I agree with you. I'm not denying that coffescript might have inspired ES6+ features, but from this to say that it's a very influential, let alone one of the most influential languages, is a big leap. In my opini

I developed a lot of projects with ruby and yet I can't think of a single reason to opt for ruby over python or typescript. Ruby doesn't do anything better both in terms of language or platform than its already very well establish

I would expand this list with: perl(mostly-dead influential), and ceylon and coffescript(these last ones mostly-dead and not so influential, let's be honest). I also would say that ruby is a future mostly-dead language, but I don'

I think nobody here really pointed out a very relevant issue that's completely widespread at least with tech job market: companies don't want to pay people. You don't see this kind of problem in other established professions,
