I really love James' articles, too. They demonstrate very thorough understanding, communicated in a fairly light manner. He also writes in a style that gets you thinking instead of giving you a flat opinion.

Don't forget that you can specify related pages as <link rel="next/prev" /> and let the browser handle pagination. I recall when I used Opera, you could scroll down, hit space, and it would go to the next page

Excellent comment. As I understand it, they mostly did this for themselves. A change of one pixel doesn't concern any user, but it communicates the pride you take in your work.

I just used Papa at the office today. Remembered it from a while ago, it really turned out to be effortless. Excellent work. (While I'm at it, may I suggest to provide CDN URLs on the website? IMO it would make the otherwise awesome pa

Are you sure the platform doesn't try to enforce copyright laws on your behalf long after you stopped using it?

Hungary. I know life is different in the countries you mentioned -- lots of people flee from here to Germany and the UK.

We're not poor or anything, but I've never met a family that could choose to work less. It doesn't take 80 hours every week, but when they call you on Saturday (or even Sunday), there is no choice. I live in Middle Europe.

Very powerful thoughts. I retweeted your last sentences (if you don't mind.) https://mobile.twitter.com/pestaa/status/585740222450819072

The Java expert will be hired to maintain a million LOC legacy shitstorm, whereas in Haskell you'd have at least a few engineering guarantees you won't get a headache on your first day.

How do you manage this repository? Have auto-commits, auto-pushing, auto-anything?

Most ideas suck, and those that do not suck are more likely targeted at people with different needs than the average HN user. Businesses want to sell tons of crap anyway, so I'm never surprised to see harsh (but often constructive!) cr

I believe not only in 10X programmers, but in 1000X programmers. I work with a senior lead developer who has decades of experience, but asks for help with the most trivial issues (like, how an overridden method would behave and how to call
