I'm about to go from a 40min commute to an hour and a half commute (or so). It's quite astounding how many people commute in from the suburbs to downtown when it would be much easier and cheaper just to setup smaller offices in th

You still believe in the myth of meritocracy? How quaint.

Interesting that the copyright is by Google yet they have permission to release it under the Apache license and yet it isn't an official Google project of any kind.

Yeah I guess so if you're a person with zero skills whatsoever. It would have been easier just to ask five people what they think of the idea.

I don't get it. Why are so many OK with the personal attacks, unprofessional language, and generally toxic communications This is going to be off-topic but...why are so many OK with that in the workplace? I've seen far more unpr

Rephrased and simplified, now you can push something no one likes except the advertisers if the advertisers pay for it, but in a future internet economy if you push something no one likes, you'd better be prepared to pay for it by you

So? If the payment is less than $10 or less than $50, who cares? The best you can do is warn other people and that sends a stronger message than just getting your money back. Reputation is what counts and you can see this on Amazon and ebay

I don't see how we could have implemented the same in FogBugz. How would you implement the compliance without technology in place? I'm being serious, how do you think compliance happened in the days of 486s, TRS-80s, punchcard

Right and now think about who is going to control the JIRA install: the manager or VP or CTO. Fogbugz's interface prevents this kind of crazy customization and thus it acts as a defense against the craziness. For a custom workflow with

They won because they allow managers to be in control and authoritarians. I've seen more than 2 managers who take over JIRA and lock down permissions and create custom workflows and all of them insist on having swim lanes and 5+ colu

I've overheard devs and marketing people talk about JIRA while walking down the street. It's really messed up.

Right and that's why there's things like AirPair where the cost of tutoring goes up and is paid per minute due to the complexity. This scaling has a limit but it's the same as any other field; how many artists go on to be gre

Solution: buy a property in a lower CoL area and then rent it out to yourself. It helps if you establish a few shell and holding companies. Charge as much rent as you're paying in SF and then they can't lower your salary based on

I've been struggling against boredom for the last 3 months. The reason for the constant context switching is to fight off boredom for a few minutes or a few hours to get something done, anything done at all. Even when carving out tim

These people are perfectly sane, reasonable and content with what they are doing That could be said of cult members, gang members, alcoholics, crack addicts, and others. I'm glad a support group like this exists. Some people need hel

Actually that was the purpose stated; they developed it for testing in-house and it makes sense to do so. However, at some point there must have been someone who was a front-line employee who could have blown the whistle on this kind of dis

Why not just write something that's worth a damn and isn't just filler?

Ads are a very bad hack to the problem of getting people to spread news of a product through word-of-mouth. Things like the AeroPress get lots of sales and I've only seen them sitting on a shelf in a coffee shop, being talked about onl

That's a good thing. There are a lot of things in life that constitute "make work". There's armies of writers and researchers out there who are working on creating filler content. They shouldn't be working on that j

This is something that's done in offices too; negative opinions of coworkers can cause bad things to happen. There's a floor on opinions that excludes negative comments.

John Carmack is a good role model for any techies that move up to management. If you want to keep in touch with the base tech that your devs are using, you have to dive into a project like this where all your tech knowledge is brought to be

The hard part isn't implementation or building; it's requirements and design. If JavaScript as a default language and software stack gives me more time to design and gather requirements, then hell yes let's do more of it. If

This is kinda why I like free/open source; you don't get too many weird issues like this and it can be very obvious and public if you've copied source code or "took inspiration" from others' code.

I feel like I have to do a reply and address the post. Angular has unique strengths that make me actually want to use React + Angular.

Angular's dependency injection system is much much better than dealing with CommonJS/AMD in my opinion. I would be okay with ES6 modules too but apparently those aren't getting much love yet. The scoping in AngularJS can be a
