in 2 years or less, Go, Swift, Rust will be 1/3 of the frontend code I'm not sure the author understands exactly how much frontend code already exists. Maybe he means all frontend code "currently in development"

For all of those who are so amazed at the current state of technology in the world, it's articles like these that help bring us back to Earth. It was less than 100 years ago that we thought it was a good idea to (1) put lead in paint,

Looks like this guy is pretty polarizing. Wasn't trying to troll here. Rather, I'm just really not very knowledgeable in this area, and was interested in hearing opinions here on what he's trying to explain.

Once technology allows us to more completely bridge the communication gap between humans and animals I think we'll realize that animals have been communicating amongst themselves in sophisticated ways for a long time and they won'

I'd say these days "knowing" something is far less important than being able to "learn" something. If I'm ever in a position where I'm responsible for technical interviews I'm pretty sure I'll gi

To my way of thinking, this makes a ton of sense. I don't think Darwin got it right. It's not "survival of the fittest". It's "survival of that which can find its place in an ecosystem".

Maybe it's the wrong thing to get from this, but I'm imagining that in this scenario, in the US, one man's property is in most cases more valuable than another man's existence?

Thank you for the feedback. Interesting info. I definitely think my question was not as precise as I was looking for. I definitely get the "right leaning" vs "left leaning" dichotomy. I'm wondering more about the

I was a philosophy major. The first few sentences struck a chord with me. I had a discussion with a professor. We were discussing Plato. He questioned why I was having issues with the topics being taught. I told him "because he (P

I find it extremely disconcerting that so many software engineers don't follow this. You're not there to figure out some clever way to do something that you made up. You're first and foremost there to figure out the essence

I think I see some flaws in how we automatically label a company's value based on how much an investor is willing to invest. Why isn't a startup's "value" pegged to real metrics? So in that sense, an investor is f

I think, at its core, the reason a co-founder is suggested is a person's internal dialogue is often different than the dialogue they have with others. Probably different parts of the brain (at least in part) get used when we speak wit

I once worked on a project for one of the largest corporations in the world. First part of my career I only ever worked on smaller teams. I was excited for the move to a large corporation where there would be amazing room for growth and le

It still boggles my mind, but I honestly believe that there is something beyond our own universe. The other thing that trips me up but I can conceptualize is the idea that there may be things that had no beginning and will have no end. T

As soon as you admit to yourself that all vehicles must have certain features that "overlap" (such as the requirement of having a windshield on the front of the vehicle so the driver can view the road in front of them, aerodynamic

I wonder if diseases are patentable. That would probably be a hugely profitable market. If a company obtained the patent on the disease they'd almost certainly be the first to market with a patent for the cure.

If beliefs were fluid and adapted continuously and were challenged by the current state of the world I would maybe argue differently. But ask yourself this. How frequently do you change your fundamental beliefs about how the world works?
