I would trust the ThoughtWorks Radar over this but it's nice to see a competitor and a different angle. The market has room for more providers of this kind of information, it just has to be higher quality.

I was working on a WebRTC client in Angular a few years ago and basically Firefox was weird.

There's a difference; if you own your own business or are freelancing, any extra work you do is for your benefit. If you're in someone else's company, completely different story.

Owning shares is not the same as ownership. Profit sharing on the other hand...

My only problem with Pocket was that it was proprietary and it was integrated with Firefox. If it's released under and open source license, then I'll be glad to have it integrated. Pocket makes Mozilla competitive on mobile becaus

You can see that just by looking at their job postings. The experimental ads team was hiring and then stopped and then the team was absorbed into other teams. Now they have more postings for project managers. They're basically introduc

What complexities of build processes?! Building Javascript files with modules and deps is a solved problem. We've built all sorts of other file types and compiled them and linked them before with tools like Make, SCons and other tools.

It's just you. No one actually likes fighting against webpack so that they can concatenate JavaScript files in the correct order.

Atlassian found their niche: enterprise sales. Because the buyer is not the user usually so it's way easier to sell shitty products.

Those code reviews are more commonly called inspections or code walkthroughs and are very very uncommon. Everyone wants to cheap out on testing and quality :/

Hah, the only thing that most people end up doing is code reviews and much of those are very relaxed and bare-bones.

What's interesting to me is how he focused on doing small things and building up on them.

The company's been around since 2009 apparently, I'm pretty sure they are no longer a startup, just a regular business that has to survive in the real world and all funding rounds are temporary loans.

That makes it sound like a ticket-shop; you're treated like a bricklayer rather than a software engineer?

The market is definitely strange in Toronto. Did the #2 type companies offer any equity at all?

Read through their GlassDoor reviews, it suggests they're an awful company on both the dev and sales side. And that means thatm at this point, their product probably isn't very good because devs keep leaving. Which means it'l

So you're suggesting that a city government should continue to support and basically aid and abet the monopoly that Microsoft has in wordprocessing and spreadsheets? That sounds like you don't like the free market.

Free market doesn't mean you have to go with the cheapest solution. It means you have choice . Preferring local firms is ok because they're competing in a free market; they aren't being given contracts because they're

A significant proportion of IT and STEM graduate are unable to get work in their chosen industry, and proceed to waste years of education by going into other areas out of necessity. Therefore all the talk about a tech talent shortage is c

BAM, there is no fucking tech labour shortage! They're just hiring outsourcing firms instead of training. Fucking knew it.

Yep, that's what I just noticed too. Interesting how a story about unionization gets pushed down. It will be interesting to see if any tech news sites pick up on this story at all. It seems like anything to do with labour/unio

very interesting that this story is very popular but doesn't seem to appear on the frontpage of hacker news? can any of the mods address how that works and on which page this story appears?

it kind of feels like skipping homework at school, things are always building up There's always more work to do! No surprise! This is why we automate so that the amount becomes smaller and that's why we cut things we don't

They aren't wrong but salaries are too low; you can't really bootstrap unless you're doing a side business and then you're effectively working two jobs. There's no YC in Canada or at least it's harder to get so

Webpack is a mistake imo. Accidental complexity everywhere.

The reason I mentioned it is because it has worked for Wordpress, Drupal and Magento in general. There's countless shops that build plugins and themes for those and are hired for things ranging from small changes to full-scale developm
