There's way too much "never" floating around in here. If you make three times the median household income and -- like many people -- you live at or slightly beyond your means, then yes, it certainly can be about the money. I knew people in

Entirely agreed. Other users' points about the tone of the article ring true to me as well, and they are only hurting people's impression of the tool, which is unfortunate; I use both ack and grep (my regex comfort level is not extremely h

I recall this being present in IT contracts at least ten years ago, but some time around then people figured it out and started insisting on removing that section... though I actually personally saw something like this for the first time ju

Which is actually a good argument for coworking spaces, regardless of which you're looking for, as they tend to attract both a variety of people/businesses and people like the author who are just looking to be around other humans. Of cours

Specifically since this person mentions that he's "active, extraverted [sic] and social." Which is not to say that such people will always hate working alone, or that people who enjoy it can't be those things, but it seems from his descrip

Use a contract and set your payment terms clearly; bill at defined regular intervals (with a partial up-front payment). Make sure there's a late fee, and enforce it! You will almost certainly find clients that don't pay on time, and lettin

This is interesting, and a good read, but I'd suggest that being elected in an election that's nothing more than one gigantic mutual smear campaign is less like succeeding and more like helping someone else fail. Winning, to me at least, im

The question seems to actually mean "should back end developers consider front end developers equals." This is a case of worrying too much about what an irrelevant class of people thinks. Are you good at what you do? Do your peers underst

I assumed this was another Anonymous "lol we took ur stuff" thing until I actually read the article... I don't know anything about the state of security in Magento, which apparently has issues, but I do know that I spent four truly miserabl

I think the answer to your question, and probably the point of asking it, is that It Depends. If you're writing a very simple web service that will be accessed by millions of clients for a small set of straightforward operations, you'll pr

Sure thing. Keep in mind, though, that this is from the perspective of a small development shop, and design is not our forte. Whether it's for myself or a client, the first thing I always do is a requirements document. They're not always

In my experience (about 12 years of practical web development, so certainly not as much as some here), wireframing is most useful when applied to projects that have a "what" but not a "how." Whether it's an internal/personal project or some

While it isn't me now -- I learned this lesson while I was still working in other people's startups, before actually building my own -- this kind of heads-down, work is life, look up at the end and realize "wow, what was I thinking" is very
