Do we really need this baby sitting? Are we seriously complaining of working from home, not having to commute, and cooking our own food is a problem? In the age of groceries delivery from a click on my phone. I just can't believe it. W

This is just the argument SV people don't want to hear. Of course I want my 200k and live in a cheap place. What irks me is the ego, people thinking they're really worth a fortune....companies where (and are) fighting for talent,

Salaries are fine as they are...it is based by the value you provide to the company, multiplied by a factor depending on where you live. If we do what the egocentric people here want "pay me 250k a year because that's what I'

Same salary despite where you are living is really unfair. I live in Italy and with a silicon valley salary here I'd be millionaire. It just won't work, companies would find equally qualified people for less money and long term we

I don't know why would you need contractors, maybe that is what went wrong? A company I worked for years ago moved our custom built platform to AppEngine Flex and it was the best thing we could have done. We embaraced DevOps as it shou

The key is in what that scale is. Everyone thinks they're already at that scale, or soon will be. Most are not and won't for a very long time. I've worked for large companies (> 500 engineers) where building your own custo

As a developer, I love the idea of operating, maintaning, deploying and monitoring the services I work on, as long as I'm using s proven platform such as appengine, tsuru, openstack, heroku, etc. I don't want to waste my life unde

In my experience, the end result is having a team of kubernetes fanatics reinventing the wheels themselves and forcing everyone to use their custom ego filling tools instead of paying $100 per month to an already existing solution. Most dev

In my experience those optimisations tend to never happen unless they make the app unusable, leading to tons of WebApps working like crap.Probably you work on a company that budgets a lot to eorgormsnce optimisation, etc or you just care a

I'm in my first few months with Vue after 5 years of react and so far I'm loving it for the most part. I'd say the things I like the most are 1) More of a framework than s library (official router, state, css-in-js, etc) and

Yes, totally. I was just surprised that something that was so obvious and "core" to the web to me (I'm in my forties) was unknown by others who are doing things which I consider more advanced or complicated as doing requests

I just don't want to imagine what a developer that makes a mess out of something built with Django, rails, Laravel, etc would do with custom tied together libraries (node, go, flask, etc...).

I'm amazed some of my younger coworkers don't even know you can submit a form post without making an ajax request or using JavaScript. I did this for a simple landing page we had to add a form to and they were so confused.
