The BFF pattern[1] may be more useful today to many, due to various types and sizes of devices and different sorts of integrations. MVC can be used in its place, but it would often introduce unnecessary complexity, e.g. additional controlle

This was the case with railroads too, only a few controlled the biggest and most transforming and business-integral tech of 1800s. Prior to that it was those that controlled the printing presses. ... History continues to repeat itself.

Sure, there’re exceptions. But if you don’t understand the requirements, choose to pay someone to figure it out, and they finger-paint your business, you may have been better off without it. Nothing sells better than crap. By that I mean li

The story though is about toxic positivity affecting the person putting a lot of pressure on themselves. It led to success but the concern was of the excessive stress and taking a day off for mental health break “sick day” to make up for it

Asking for advice from a contractor is not bad. Asking for leadership from a contractor is bad: 1. They don’t understand what you need or how to get it to you, but they sound like they do, and they look professional. 2. There are no great c

Wave seemed to me to be an unimaginative copy of other threaded comment implementations. The indentations seemed to waste valuable space on each page. Allowing anyone to edit anyone’s post seemed insecure. If I hadn’t known it was Google, I

Organized scalable social moderation is as doable with centralized services as it is with P2P. The difference is that a centralized service has at least one person that must be responsible for content, whether or not they moderate it adequa

The most obvious solution to problems arising from assisting the creation of a superintelligence is not to assist the creation of a superintelligence. Unfortunately, we didn’t learn from the proliferation of nuclear weapons: “If we don’t ma

This is a good point. The language doesn’t have to be good to make money, in fact in can be quite bad. Oddly, while modern development embraces agility, many things often benefit from small changes, and a bad language has small change built
