You are right with the following blog posts blindly is a bad idea. And I feel guilty that I didn't invest time to learn why I commented those lines in IP conf (it's bad enough that I don't remember which files I changed). So

XNA was what I used to build my first game ever. It was a magical experience to realise how quickly I could get things running. Nowadays when I go over game frameworks' documentation, I find myself thinking back to how simple xna was.

Love this. I was able to get more useful information about remote working than I was able to when reading the original who is hiring April post. This is probably a good time to suggest changing the format of the who is hiring posts. Would b

Bummer for me. Learning ruby these days and trying to pick up other js related things. It's utterly overwhelming.

Wait. Python is growing? Somehow something feels off. I'm guessing that's not in the web dev field but rather in the data analysis field. Been keeping an eye out for remote web dev work with a company using python and best practic

Given that this bug could compromise part of the foundation of YouTube (deleting videos, messing up ad revenue), this should be worth a lot more than just $5k. A quick script running on several servers could take down a large part of youtub

This! I joined a new company recently to build out the systems. Instead of trying to predict the future and build for it, I just went ahead and built a bare minimum architecture and used TDD for it while doing so. The start was a little slo

Been playing around with it for a while. Surprised that I was the first person to add Vagrant to my toolset. EDIT - Forgot to say, great job. With some polish it'll definitely make a fun tool discovery service. Thanks for this

Agree with the author's sentiment. Sometimes I get people trying to start up a little holy war over editors and IDEs and my reply to them has always been, if you are sure you can't go faster in the editor/IDE you've chos

That's a really tough question. If I had to pick one, I'd take C. Simply for the reason of employment. I can't think of any other reason to pick one over the other. My choice of python as my go to language has bitten me in th

Just to add a third voice. Python. For all the reasons already stated. Personal story. I started programming with C. The day I picked up Python (many years later) I knew that this was the language that any university should have used to get

Last June I started work with a software engineering company that was using meteorjs heavily for their new product and php and java for their main product. Front end was standard jquery. At the time of joining, I had only ever used java, an

Me too. I find myself frustrated with my inability to balance stuff every now and then. I would love to sit with Jon and just have him say "here.. here's where you are doing it wrong" and then find enlightenment. :D

Here's a story of pragmatism I grew up in a family which was into IT. My father owns an Enterprise IT company. My brother was learning programming by himself. They both thought it would be a great idea to teach me how to program too. I

Without any hard data to back the statement, I can say that I feel it's a trend. But it might just be a trend within our always connected tech subculture. It should also be a sign to people to learn how to discipline themselves better

Neat idea? Question though. My work process for every project is to have a vagrant file, and a docker container. The vagrant file has almost the exact same shell script that I use when setting up a production environment. (There are a few e

Agreed with the interpretation of the OP's article and agree with the general sentiment of building something that's perfect on the backend while ignoring the need to get customers is just wrong. That said, for anyone reading this

I stick with bitbucket mainly because of the pricing schemes. I create a lot of tiny private repos for company related work, sometimes just scripting type programs with only 5 files in it, and I can't afford to pay for each of those on

Honestly, there was a TON of research on this topic. I'll try and dig out the paper that was the foundation of my dissertation. Till then I can tell you what I did to get my own reading. I simply googled for stylometry research papers

Hey, it's great that you saw this thread. I started reusing lift about two weeks ago, and it's pretty interesting how much of a behaviour change it can induce. I'm still not ready however to buy into getting myself a coaching

I know the question was meteor js vs angular js, but having developed heavily in meteorjs before it hit 1.0, I can at least speak of it. As whatthemick said, consider how much of your app needs to be in real time. Meteor js gives you a huge
