>Overall, developers are not happy about JavaScript testing. This is because of the low percentage of devs in the survey who have used Jest. I can't begin to describe the joy of finally finding a JS test utility that just works and

That is a very fair characterization of the article - 70% of the article's content is about why JavaScript is bad.

I downloaded Musical.ly after hearing about it via Gary Vaynerchuk. Honestly, I found it pretty disturbing. Many of the most popular accounts were attractive young teenage girls wearing suggestive-ish clothing in their videos and their foll

I did email you guys, but I'm having trouble understanding this "API error" explanation. What API error? How is an API error affecting whether a check clears or not. I can understand an "API error" resulting in the

Why would a new check make any difference? Why isn't there money in the account? EDIT: You also claimed that this issue was resolved 8 days ago, and that the cause was simply due to a transfer from your processor going into the wrong a

That's my fear and why I will never again pay my rent through them. If they go under, I'm out $1350.

I like to use a GUI for things like viewing staged/unstaged files, their riffs, and picking which files to stage for a commit, but for every other situation, the command line is just so much faster and easier to understand what's

Knowing Git "inside out" is great, but you can't expect to know/remember every command for every situation from day one or even day one thousand. A list of ways to solve Git problems serves as a refresher and even a tool

Man, I feel really bad for you being out $200k (if that number is correct). What did Isaac say to you to convince you to put in that much of your own money? How much equity were you able to hang on to when you left? (Not that it will probab

Wow. That honestly might be the most bothersome part of this whole thing. Udemy is essentially stealing from their customers at that point. That would be like buying a game on Steam, and then Steam deleting the game from your library and o

No, they just don't want to pander to the entitled kids with victim complexes who think they shouldn't have to hear anything they disagree with.

I interviewed last year for a company called Walkboard Technologies[1] that billed themselves as "Uber for truck drivers." Their goal was the "new way to connect drivers and shippers" part of Otto's business model.

I've used hash tables a fair amount in an order processing front-end app. In our batch order processing component, it was useful to hash the orders returned from the API on their "order_id" for fast and easy access to them in

I understand that point, but I just personally hate the stress and the irrelevance of the "over-the-shoulder" algorithm problems that a recent CS grad would be almost more suited to answering. If I'm really interested in work

Here are a few questions/problems I was asked in from-end interviews a couple months ago: Write a function that accepts an array of ints and a target number. If two of the numbers in the array can add up to the target, return their ind

I initially planned on using Lambda for things like this, but in this scenario, it does not seem appropriate. I'm a total noob to Lambda, so correct me if I'm wrong, but I need a system with Qt installed to use my PDF library, and

Not me, but the last time I talked to the CTO of my last company, he was making ~$120k/year passively via LendingClub with ~$1M invested (which he acquired via our exit).

I appreciate your honesty! I say that's what you "should" do, because I think it's the most logical way to respond to that question. That doesn't mean I wouldn't feel guilty about lying, and I've never act

I've never understood why this question is such a big deal for people. When asked what you made at your last job, you should just give the number you would like to make at this new job.

Your mind is supposed to wander. That's what it does. The key is to not beat yourself up about not being "good" at meditation. When you realize your mind has been wandering, take note of it, return your focus to your breath,
