That's really amazing. I never cease to stumble upon or be shown something awesome each day. This is far more elaborate than anything I would have ever imagined but wow. What a brilliant playground for makers and players. Should introd

Heh. I always wanted to build a little robot that would sweep the house by itself :D.

that's actually a really impressive idea (irony on username intended). Would be interesting to run an idea like that on the entire Harry Potter text and see what it would be like to change the tone to George R R Martin's writing s

It's actually a complex debate. We as developers naturally gravitate to a role like this because it's in our nature to believe that we can solve all the tech related problems. And all other problems, we believe can be solved with

Fighting to get my estimates accepted. I try as often as possible to give good estimates. This seems to always mean mine are a little longer as I don't give optimistic timelines. I get pushed back to shorten timelines and I'll sit

Having worked in ERP, Ecommerce, Financial tech, and general SASS based tech stuff, I agree with you on the "not too many use cases where having schemaless is a good thing". In most cases it's a shortcut and an unnecessary tr

On a site like that, I don't think I'd ever want to allow comments :D . Thanks for the feedback Edit - After reading this I just realised it could be taken as loaded with snark. Really did not want it to come across as that. Just

I'm totally excited about heroic labs. Is there any other company providing this service (that isn't part of a closed eco system that is)? AppCanary sounds great. I've been working on a tiny prototype that makes use of a dock

Agreed on the wide and convoluted field part. I was hoping though that there'd be some kind of resource along the lines of "the must know things of developing web apps" that covers the various topics from how to manage user d

Bookmarked. I dunno about honing Vim skills since it's rare that I'll use it like this (especially given how much I depend on easymotion), but this is incredibly fun. Powerups that let you jump a 'word' ahead as a future

I've been thinking of something like this for models especially. Where I have made my own models and worked with Flask, but now need to integrate the Django framework. Just a vague idea though. Haven't formed a clear picture of ho

Brilliant. Every language should have a book like this. I'm already learning a lot of little details about features I've had some passing experience on. Only request I have (which I generally have for stuff like this), is for real

When I started using python I wondered why classes were not so prevalent. I was just coming out of several years of C# (I had scaled the MVVM WPF mountain. Interfaces everywhere). Since then I realize that I rarely use classes except to sto

The point here (pun intended) is that reference is not an OOP specified feature. Polymorphism is.

The most common time the 8 hours policy breaks down (insert rage face here) is when going bug hunting on non straight forward bugs. I just got out of a 5 day bug hunt where the fix was literally changing a 10 to 40 (so, 1 character change).

An answer to this would be great. I'm not sure I'm going to be able to stop thinking about that question for a while.

I like this format. It feels like watching a good advertisement instead of one that just screams "BUY!". It's great because at the end of the day, there's some education, and something to be taken away. Even if that thin

Number 3 is pretty good honestly. It might be the best option in fact.

thank you! This definitely seems to open up a path that I can look into. As for custom protocol handlers, their experience is pretty messy. But well, try and use what you've got eh.

I was thinking of this. It's not a great experience, but it might be the only pure browser based options that will work. Along those lines I thought: Person A clicks reshare. Gets asked for url. Person A types in persona.com. Immediate

This would be the ideal workflow because it's non platform dependent (works on desktop and mobile browsers with no additional steps). The question is, how does the browser tell personb.com that the reshare point for the current visitor
