I've never gotten into vlogs or podcasts. Why watch/listen something in an hour that can be read in ten minutes?

The other day I read a blog post that argued how "Fight for the users" should be a core tenet for every developer. I agree; and, unfortunately, the main undercurrent of the defense of electron, at least in this thread, is one of a

This is weird. It's not a matter of what was popular a few years ago. Static typing didn't "stop" being popular while dynamic typing "was" popular, nor have opinions "changed". Dynamic and static typi

"Clear, concise, expressive code" isn't something that applies to ternary operators. They were always meant as shortcuts and, as such, will never be as clear as if else statements, practically by design. Though I don't r
