Mostly opinions of an angry C programmer. Disagree with all of them. Too context specific. For example, testing. It is generally a good idea, but you don't always want to invest the time if it will have a negative return. Small projects or

This is my concern after looking at and playing with Angular a little bit.

Could you be more specific? What was Backbone not doing that Angular does?

I think the issue of everyone storing data in their own custom format would kill it well before that surfaced.

From the article, "...a lot of smart people have been questioning the accuracy of our 90% estimate, and with good reason, it’s a very rough estimate and the measurements are flawed."

Most of the problems you define are organizational. The one that isn't (migrations) actually has the best support on relational databases because their tooling is much more mature. Just try to lookup recommended migration strategies for neo

You always have control. Some want control of receiving information the moment it happens. It will be these individuals that will drive real time. I view this the same way people view sports. People that watch sports want it real time becau

A CEO can only act on information they have. Primarily directives are carried out by being followed down the chain. By not following something the CEO felt was important, the employee (manager is this case) is creating a problem. First they

This isn't a reactive problem resolution as you describe, it is a proactive endeavor. The tactic used could have been improved significantly, but the priority is very high for the CEO. There is a big difference in response from ignoring a l

It is a static language after all. </joke>

XML and the language are my biggest gripes. Checked exceptions are a bad idea. Lack of lambda expression (though they are coming!) is pretty much a deal closer. After many years of working on code, the only real way to clean things up is of

Has almost nothing to do with the age. Most dotnet shops wait for MS to give them what they need. Java developers are more inclined to create (and share) their own solutions. It also doesn't help that MS actively cannibalizes and rebrands o

How is the last part any different? The server still renders HTML with a JS block requesting your view data (via JSON) and then the JS code (using Angular) renders it.

One part of the problem is (US) customs. I travel to the US frequently and must use a title including words like, "Engineer", "Architect" or "Analyst". When a title like programmer can be obtained by reading the introduction to "Learning VB

Widgets have the same strengths and weakness when choosing software products to buy. If the product meets your needs exactly, it makes sense to buy. If you are going to have to customize the product to actually meet your needs, build the wh

If something is working for you, don't change it. ExtJS is a fairly large framework and replacing it with something 'better' would have a large cost for your organization. That said, my experience is primarily with coolite and versions 2 an

ASP.NET is a nightmare. An absolute nightmare to work with. Sencha (assuming ExtJS) is one of the worst JS libraries you could pick. Not a great deal of experience with the others, so I cannot comment. That said, there are no doubt good exa

Widgets are expensive to build into a framework and very limited in their application. They only fit the use-case of something that widgets are a core part of (iGoogle/widget pages) or something that is marketed at parttime programmers (Wor

Absolutely they have to take a loss to fix it, but they are already suffering from a massive lose to software engineering productivity and are unlikely to retain any talent. This is technical debt at it worst.

"get you what you need", really means navigate the bureaucratic wasteland "act as an umbrella", really means protect you from other managers "look out for your interests". That one is interesting, who looks out for your interests better tha

Backbone is built with that intension in mind. It is quite opinionated in that regard as well. Look at how Backbone collections work to understand why.

I feel like we are discussing this from very different perspectives. You raise hard computer science problems and a Woz example that is hardware related. The article was about software, not people who push the envelope of what is possible w

The hard problems in software are not adding features or coming up with crafty efficient solutions. That is actually quite easy and I am constantly surprised how mediocre to poor developers can consistently come up with workable solutions.

Are you talking about frameworks or software products? There is a very good argument around building custom software versus buying a product that matches your argument. In that case, I strongly agree. You should find products that either ma

One thing, that I find particularly interesting, is that the bittorrent numbers in the U.S. are decreasing. BitTorrent traffic is now responsible for 11.3% of all U.S. Internet traffic during peak hours, compared to 17.3% last year. While t

You can certainly make the number more or less meaningful by including a comparison against what the individual accomplished over that period. Regardless, the question was an individual's number wasn't high enough.
