Roll eyes . I'm sorry but this is a ridiculous idea. I can see potential use for this once or twice a year, and even at that I wouldn't reach out to anyone unless I know them personally. How insecure and in need of validation som

I wonder how much of deals like this that don't make sense on its surface is based on behind the scene agreements. "If you invest 100 million in this company we backed two years ago, we'll give you a good deal on this other t

I don't mean create a CS like curriculum that would lead to an official degree, but build a continuous education program which teaches the trade.

I think most people use tablets to watch TV in bed. Now that iPhones and Androids are shipping with larger screens and higher resolutions, there isn't much need for a second device.

I've always been sceptical of VR. As much as I was amazed by Oculus the first time I tried it, I never thought it was going to catch on. All for the sole reason that humans do not like to have things on their faces. Any technology that

There are no mentions of RN at all, but all the positive points for why they used Swift is probably an implicit argument for using that instead of RN.

When I was in college, CS was not in demand as much as it is now. It was shortly after the 2001 bust and the whole industry had become 'toxic'. I guess given the circumstances of the time, it attracted people who were more interes

A college degree, in my opinion, has little to do with the degree or the technical material you learn. the value of attending college and completing a four-year degree at an accredited university comes from the environment you're ingra
