Testing a few hundred devices ranging in age from 1 to 4 years old on Android isn't great. Where it becomes a tough pill to swallow is when you compare it relatively to the iOS experience. The number of devices are just a fraction, users up

Does that matter because of the missing feature (which is actually pretty good if you try git-extensions or github for windows) or is this because of the community? Not needing editor/IDE integration is one of the primary reasons git is bet

I haven't really seen such a clean divide. There is definitely a group of developers that prefer building over everything else. This group loves tooling because it enhances their ability to keep adding new things. I also suspect that this g

Just like women were so busy playing with barbies and learning where the best tanning salon is to go from their mothers, right? Stop generalizing. What do you think racism is?

Better debugging is one of those things that helps one group of developers solve problems they couldn't otherwise solve. Unfortunately, it also allows another group of developers to make a bigger mess before failing under their technical de

No, you posted the correct form. Mine would have a compile error.

I learned java in school and used C# professional for year. Almost every useful refactoring I perform in C# is based on functional concepts. You can slap patterns on a mess to provide order or you can introduce functional concepts to remove

I was seriously considering moving to Vancouver from Calgary. It is really hard to find talented, passionate people in Calgary. But even ignoring the lower wages in Vancouver, the cost of housing is a bad joke. My long term plan now is to m

When I need to consider inheritance in Javascript, I just use composition. I feel like I am balancing out all the times I've mistakenly used inheritance, when I should have used composition. Most of the time, inheritance is the wrong tool.

You don't need 10 years, you need 10,000 hours. However, 10,000 hours alone is still a useless metric unless you know it was spent learning. 10,000 hours fixing bugs in the same system won't introduce you to enough new concepts to provide t

If you removed the years of experience to achieve X from your definitions and added criteria you expect, then these "achievement levels" would have much more merit. I am pretty sure I am familiar with the types of individuals you are talkin

Try this one then, "Hey, we love what you are doing, but saw this new feature and think it is really cool. We are not saying you have to add it, but it would really make our day if you did..."

Couple pain points from experience: Estimates in $$$ desired before start -> Leads into defining a complete feature set -> Desire for all estimates in time for all work (BS number, always) Guarantees on what will be delivered ->

Explaining how you get buy in would be a much more interesting blog post. The person footing the bill usually wants some plan for reassurance sake. Something along the lines of, "Aha! Gotcha! You didn't do X! I'm not paying!"

I'm reminded the "Four letter words" from Rework. How many times have you been asked "Can you just get <feature> done. It only has a few parts and should be easy!" Those two sentences nail almost all fo them.

I am from a dotnet background originally, only created one php app back in my school days. For me, it is less about liking ERB and more about preferring the medium I am working in (HTML). If I could pick anything, it would be razor. It is s

I cannot say I have had many problems with incorrect HTML. Since using HAML, I have had tabbing issues, inline javascript issues, a new syntax to learn (and translate). The last one is my main issue. 80% of your time spent with HTML is in t

Very interesting information. Definitely going to have a look at a few gems after this. Thanks for sharing. On a side note, HAML is the best example of technology for technologies sake. It adds a small amount of value while adding the compl

There is good reason to use the same environment. No one wants to be dealing with wacky version issues on remote servers, which is precisely what you would be signing up for.

Many users of pinterest that I have talked to have said they find the interface confusing. Specifically the content layout. The very feature these other sites are now ripping for their own.
