I think the important part of the article was that he was encouraging the simplest solution to interface needs. In this regard I totally agree with him. I think some of the stuff they've added to consumer products has fallen into a weird

It's really interesting to see the perspective of an older peer when it comes to development. I've been writing code since I was 10 (19 years ago) and have been doing it professionally for about eight years. To look back sometimes and see

I was just looking for something like this last week, this is a great tutorial, thanks for posting it up here. When Anders was discussing the new TypeScript release, he was mentioning how it more clearly mimicked the ES6 specification. Loo

"Dumbwhite " "Oh..hell..no.." I had to remind myself that this was a blog post. That it wasn't a literary article or technical diagram. I look for unbiased, factual reporting that is meant to educate and improve awareness. This

I've been testing it out and I like it so far. I personally don't enjoy writing JavaScript in text editors and the tools like PHPStorm, while being decent don't really give me the slick development environments that I've come to enjoy. Sin

Being 6'6" tall and built like an NFL lineman, I have never been accused of being cute, light or portable. If I didn't feel buying one for myself would be somewhat narcissistic, I'd totally get one. If anyone wanted to buy me one as a pre

If a piece of software has been around since 1995 and the UX is poor, I would consider it far from done.

I just want to say that I think it's great that you're impassioned about this topic. I'm definitely not trying to discourage you from it. My reticence comes more from the fact that this is such a complicated topic for me. On one hand, I'm

This is my fault for not explaining why I wasn't going to look into it more. According to the features it has listed, it offers me no obvious advantages to my current tools and claims to be difficult to setup and configure. Beyond that, if

If I could have seen that there would have been some value outside of what I currently use, I'd totally look into it. I too am more likely to spend some time messing around with editors, IDEs and other tools than I am email clients though.

I put time in when I feel like the tool may solve an issue or problem I have and when I think there will be a ROI for the time I spend doing it. This seems like a pretty reasonable justification to me. Having spent a lot of time authoring

I may not have made it clear enough, but I'm not saying we shouldn't encourage women or non-technical people to pursue technical experience and/or education. I personally prefer to work in a diverse workforce and enjoy sharing my workday w

Or how about a small propulsion system with a tether that can be carried to LEO with a weather balloon and then propelled further if needed. You'd just need like a 100 mile long wire cable to use with it. I'm sure that's doable, right? :

Tractor beam? If someone could come up with one of those, that would work. No huge energy loss due to traveling into the atmosphere. No worries about refueling in orbit or potential collisions loss of life. Seems to me like that could b

6'6" and built like an NFL lineman. Last time I got in one, I couldn't sit up straight, my knees were resting on the dash and I couldn't close the door. I'd prefer something in the full size category but would rather it was a van, SUV or

I'd love to see other cars in their testing group too. Don't get me wrong, I harbor no ill will towards Prius or their drivers, I just don't fit in them. Public transit with these installed would be fabulous as well. You'd still need some

I love the philanthropic ideal that this offers but considering how many 404s I see on a daily basis, would probably become depressed by all of the lost children I'd wind up seeing. Your webpage is supposed to be about delivering the conten

I think the devil is in the details here. Yes, all of these things could slide into micromanagement if the intent and execution of them are not done properly. I've had experiences with managers who want to meet every week for a one-on-one

by rbellio 14y ago
An analogy I try to keep in mind is that often as a manager you are in charge of manning the rudder and steering the ship in the right direction. Typically, you get a great seat on the boat and the laborious job of motility is left to some

I guess it depends on how the cars were programmed to learn. Is perceiving a threat something that would be in the scope of the car's programming? Would the developers have accounted for the possibility of cataloging and identifying not on

Thanks for clearing this up for me. I do appreciate the response. Hopefully you can clear one other troubling thought up for me: How is this recruitment tool going to avoid falling into the same recruitment spam of sites like Dice et. al.?

It's an interesting idea and I wish whoever runs it the absolute best. I can tell the motivation here is to maximize the earning potential for a developer and find a good fit through a novel approach and I commend the thought. I can't help

So, am I right in assuming that this does not clearly reflect that early stage in development when there are less than 20 people in your company and there are individuals with multiple roles? I understand that there's a 6-20 group in there
