I hope that it's obvious that you shouldn't expose part of your implementation to your end users a la auto incrementing primary keys. Obfuscation of how data is queried and stored is pretty low hanging fruit, security-wise.

I think the minimalist approach could be a companion to this style behavior augmentation. Rather than adding things that could be done, I only add tasks that have to be done. Overtime, my "bandwidth" for tasks I don't lik

There's an amazing interview with Gabor Mate on Tim Ferriss's podcast [1] where he frames early trauma and its effect on people in later life in a really succinct way. I've listened to it 3 - 4 times, because he has a really

> Elm would have 5-10 people in its core team, with at least a few of those tasked with triaging issues and PRs That would be amazing, but I see this being very similar to Node in its infancy. It took a fork (io.js), and a lot of strong

The React team seems that they put a lot of forethought into keeping the API and core stable. I was super impressed at the core rewrite that integrated the fiber architecture. The console warnings are a nice nod to good developer ergonomics

Like others have mentioned, it seems that elm has done a great job of promoting itself, but lacks the structure to make big changes. It screams of needing some sort of governance and RFC process ( edit: seems that there is an RFC process [1

Late to the party, but can't wait for the technical write up on this. I think npm has been a headache for everyone at some point, which is one of the main reasons I started contributing to Yarn. I think npm has done a lot of good work

Trello is what came to mind at first. It made more sense to buy it, rather than it being competition to Jira. Hipchat could have easily taken the space that Slack exists in. Lack of product vision and resources dedicated to the project ulti

I may give Ubuntu a go again. Having a dual boot system was nice in the past, but I also found myself needing one thing that justified using Windows more. In high school it was Warcraft 3, in college it was powerpoint, Visual C++, plus othe

Agreed on corporate interests, but I'm not sure about keeping government jobs weak. With the government, your target market is every citizen (plus visitors, immigrants, etc.). The private sector has to create its market by providing a

Japan also has a much different outlook on blue collar jobs, and (from studying the culture and spending ~3 months there) people seem to take genuine pride in their job regardless of what it is. Contrast that with the MTA subway workers I s

While I agree that NYC is much safer than when I first moved there five years ago -- threats still pose themselves from time to time (as anywhere will). For example, I fell asleep for the first time on a 2 train last month, and was robbed.
