Interesting read and great points. But the reason I'm shopping for a diamond is precisely that it is too expensive. It's supposed to be proof that I am glad to make sacrifices for her. If we wanted to do something nontraditional w

I wonder if the problem is specific to ageism in individual contributor roles. I've worked at a few startups where maybe 1/3 of the product team was over 40, but I can only think of two coworkers over 40 who didn't have any d

I really respect the perspective of this peice. My reaction: this career, for me, has been so riddled with imposter syndrome and self-doubt that I would hardly recognize it without the kind of language in question. Dissatisfaction with my o

The JS community switched from the term "isomorphic" to "universal" around a year ago. Seems not everyone is on the same page yet.

This is an odd debate. Let's say a restaurant declares "veterans eat free." This blog post is like a friend telling you "Hey if you tell this restaurant you're a vet they'll give you a free meal." No one s

less code !== faster code. I wouldn't even try this without seeing some impressive performance benchmarks. Giving up the support of the entire react team and community in exchange for a small framework that may or may not be faster is

My impression is that the benefit of this approach is that it fits the mental model of NPM and Bower. Being able to manage packages across your stack using the same kinds of steps feels... organized. The relative path issue, however, needs

"anytime they’re looking at job ads, serious developer positions, not front end developers... " Ouch. I guess I never should have dropped PHP for client side MVC apps.

If you haven't noticed the impact social media has had on our world, you have not been paying attention. Yes, people waste an astounding amount of time with it. People (and businesses) are also more connected than ever before. I'v

If I were Tesla I would probably hire Buzzfeed or some other marketing channel to do a viral story highlighting how schmucky this lawyer and his client are. It would serve the brand better if they weren't seen giving these guys the tim

This one hit home with me. Having every waking hour consumed with obligations - fun or not - gets draining after a couple years. I wish my friends didn't get mad whenever someone says no to something, and I find myself regularly contem

One thing that developers can do is think about how they can build products that give other people an opportunity to make income online. Marketplaces, payment processing, etc. Build sites that encourage people to learn to code or design, bu

I was in this situation four months ago. Frankly, I interviewed for the new job because it came with an attractive salary, but there had also been recent layoffs at my old job and I was interested in moving on anyway. In the end, I'm g

I'm conflicted... my eyes give me a ton of issues and this is tempting, but I also do a lot of front end work and visual design. I don't want everything I design at night to turn out blue because my screen was orange when I made i

The design is almost skeumorphic in its replication of an actual newspaper. I can understand wanting to do that for branding reasons, the same way Craigslist is successfully branded as anti-design. But the wall of information is just such a

IgnitionDeck needs to accept that there are consequences for refusing to offer refunds to unsatisfied customers. Either accept the negative reviews, apologize for your policy decision, and move on, or rethink your policy, because UX extends

Looks like a fun product to build. When I see this type of marketplace I always wonder how you get a user base... why will people pay to list products here if there aren't many buyers in their city yet, and why would buyers pay to shop
