Like others mentioned, this list is a mix of some valid known issues and some low quality bad-faith bashing filled with incorrections. It's also weird that it goes all the way back to 5 years ago, given how young this technology is and

I too was toying with a similar idea, but was finding the devil was in the details. For instance, you want to sort by publish date, which isn't the same as file creation date. If you add it to the file name, to sort by that, then you c

Interesting concept. This seems to simplify the writing part. What about the rest? Is the list of posts generated automatically (if so, how?), or does it require manual management? Do you need the code tag, or could it be something more sem

I'm simply using Ghostery to block any ad trackers and other scripts. Which this site tells me it's apparently not enough.

Completely agree with pairing. If possible, with more than one developer, to avoid possible biases. In addition to those reasons, I also like pairing because it also reveals what kind of team player you are, and going to be if you're h
