   After trying google glass out last week, it still has a long way to go. Many tech people lined up to try it out. All of us failed to do anything useful with it. We had to be told how to activate it. We had to be told what we could do with i

   Inversion of control is a good thing. Why would you want to avoid it?

   Enterprise software development. Plan, plan, plan, plan, execute, fail, extend, extend, extend, deliver. The PMs job is to get the project extended from day 1 because nothing was planned out correctly.

   Even the worst developers I have worked with could figure out SQL queries like this in an afternoon. If they study before the test, congratulations, we just hired a dud.

   Anyone else bothered when primary keys are not given the name 'ID'?

   How do you stay with it? I'm approaching 30 and worry about burning out. Many people I talk to seem to agree the shelf life for exceptional engineers is about 7 years.

   I used C# for a long time and consider it to be one of the best examples of a statically typed language. The generics are very well done. Implicit typing from 'var' makes half of your statements almost dymanic. var list = new List<i

   The way most developers work with JavaScript (especially jQuery) is fundamentally broken and untestable. This was one of the most difficult things I fought with when using backbone and introducing developers to backbone. You can work with i

    This is a very recent change, if I am not mistaken. Seven days is a very short window.

    Is this for e-commerce? I just suspected you guys didn't seriously consider e-commerce since you don't do pre-auth and settlement. It being illegal to charge the customer before shipping in some countries and such.

    I don't think there is anytime not to try to learn it. It will be harder the more unfamiliar you are with everything else (language, libraries, domain, etc...)

    I've found one simple rule works well for the teams I have been on. If you can afford to re-write the entire application from scratch (considering time and money) then you can afford to skip unit testing. On a side note. You will never lear

    The dispatch table is shorter than the switch, so there is a lot less noise. The invocation is a little clever, but overall I would consider them about equally complex. Maybe you meant unconventional? The performance is substantially differ

    This is probably the part I dislike most about ruby (I know this is JS). There are some places where this trick makes a painful piece of code go away, so I appreciate why it was selected. The problem is that you now have no reference to dra

    I should have clarified, I fully appreciate that most bosses do not actually know the technical minutia of their underlings. That is how hierarchies work... My question was really, given this shared understanding. Why is this limited level

    For me, my alias 'git pr' is shorter than 'git pull'. For the person working with me, not being in a rebase when they didn't expect to be is also a boon.

    I would recommend that you do not do this. I rebase probably 80% of my pull requests, but sometimes you do want a merge commit. Instead, I setup an alias for git pull --rebase This also helps when pairing with someone else. The process of h

    I am unaware of any technique that translates knowledge metrics into skill metrics. This leads me to question why no is discussing that this research is solely based on stackoverflow. Knowledge != skill To me, all this study proves is that

    Why not do a session/presentation/lunch&learn on how to build web apps without a library. Or how to build something like backbone. Showing teams how to test their front end code is also a great way to introduce better practices and more

    How does that impact your view on the position or carrier you have obtained? Is it all part of the game? Just curious how affirmative action is viewed in your eyes, as someone who believes they benefitted from it.

    I have been thinking about something similar to this for a while. The problem is the negative stigma of hunting for friends. That makes it difficult to get people to want to signup. The best potential candidates would already have lots of f

    They don't share the user's email address. Kinda rules out using them for authentication, IMO.

    Curious to hear others experiences. How many white, north american born people are on your current team? I'm the only one on my current team and have often been the minority in the groups I work with.
