Love Mailgun. You can configure it to just be a very easy mail provider or use the APIs to send mail and turn on all kinds of things like campaign monitoring, tags, click opens, etc. The best part for me when using it for customers has been

I forgot to add something the a lot of people don't really think about in their office: plants. I've got a couple tall ones I can see behind my monitors and a smaller one behind me. Supposedly they can help with air quality, frank

I started down this route forever ago. Had a garage door opener with status and geofence, outlets, my own iOS app. It was fun but it was taking too long. I bought a bunch of z-wave outlets, switches, power strips, a thermostat, and a garage

My first experience with them was in London about 8 or 9 years ago. That employer was starting up a London office and wanted a nice Trafalgar Square address. It made it incredibly easy to get 7 or 8 people together and have conference rooms

The average Computer Engineering degree from my university was completed (at that time) in 5 years. I graduated in 5 years and worked, so it didn't take me any longer than average, and I switched majors from CS to CpE- costing me two t

I pretty much always took 12-15 credits. My school was on semesters and I just went year round whereas most people took summer offer. Summer credits were cheaper and you could cram in a bunch of general ed stuff that didn't need a ton

There are other valid reasons besides not paying the initial shipping cossts. Typically anything shipped Prime is a no-fee/no-hassle return. Great for when you're buying clothes. After accidentally buying something NOT shipped pri

To be fair, someone writing a ThisShouldNeverHappenException may not be the kind of developer that knows about an IllegalStateException.

I've recommended this to everyone I've mentored, even when I was their boss. Interviewing is a skill that can be honed. Some people are naturally better than others, but most people can at least get comfortable. Up until recently

Anecdotally, I went to a state school with decent computer engineering and CS programs, got all kinds of experience getting paid to write code for different groups throughout the university, met a few professors and like minded individuals

How is TLD namespacing not sane? If you own the domain you own the package(s) in that namespace. It's pretty easy and fairly trustworthy to identify a TLD. When Stickman Co comes along, there's not a fight about the package name a

Not for profit and non-profit are actually different in different tax and law scenarios. I'm not going to try and butcher the explanation, but it pretty much boils down to how employees get paid and expenses get deducted- which, in my

A junior is much like an apprentice. Often they are being told what to do and told (or hopefully TAUGHT) how to do it. They don't show a lot of autonomy. A lot of mistakes happen from a lack of understanding and foresight. A mid-level

It could be just a title if you work for that kind of company. Or, it could be VERY meaningful- which is what I'm sure the poster was looking for, instead of a flippant answer that suggests you're frustrated and/or don't

Is this indicative of what's going on in the JS world today, with all the churn of packages and libs? Does it boil down to being sucky and not useful if it isn't written in ES6/TypeScript/Whatever and not invented by you

I think that's the point- they're amazingly powerful. Additionally with POSIX, you can assume that the command you used on one OS behaves or at least outputs the same on another. I feel like the interface for these commands is exa

A $150 one time cost certainly isn't harmful if they know the one time cost going in. What could be harmful is if the post-launch support is lacking. Especially if they consider deploying Wordpress sites which need near constant updati

With respect to Java, the getters and setters are automatically generated in an IDE if you want, so it's not all so bad. And if you get to a spot where your getter and setter needs to do more than spit out the value or assign it for so

As mentioned elsewhere, interfaces really a form of inheritance. They just generally have no implementation code in them. I also very much understand the thrashing about that occurs when trying to abstract and inherit and compose my classes
