Yeah, most won't really become devs, but they'll gain some newfound technical literacy and some respect for what devs do full-time. It's important in these situations to look outside of the context and just see what's ac

Look, you can construct whatever narrative you want about power, people and the ebb and flow of capital, but it's pointless. People like nice things. There I said it. Most people like nice cedar lined floors, expensive drinks and well

The single minded focus on taxes to recruit businesses strikes me as severely misguided. Sure, found a business here in Kansas where you save on paying high taxes on your business. Pay it all back when your child makes the mistake of enroll

I think that kind of thinking is really suitable for the JS world of a few years back. If you're just using vanilla JS + DOM API, it can be pretty messy to include HTML in your JS. However React's setState handles DOM changes and

I view these as a good litmus test for the company too. If they won't answer a question about the problem, or think it's very self explanatory, it might mean they're not the best at communicating. I recently did a clojure pro

I appreciate the sentiment, that if you look at just gross impact, then a quant/hedge fund/think tank career might actually be more helpful than something more traditionally 'impactful'. But I can't help but feel th

Don't try and ascribe a single reason here. Architecture, urban planning, the rise of the creative class, high-speed internet, remote work and America's burgeoning reckoning with it's awful racial history are all at play here

Funny stuff, but it makes me want to just put my hands over my eyes and say "let a Dev ops guy handle it!"

Thanks for the resource! Yeah they did kind of just sneak up about a year ago it seems. I remember getting into the field two years ago I didn't hear about them. I suspect the tipping point was the full migration to front-end framework

Impressive and awesome. This is perfect to catch up on using build tools. I focus on core programming concepts in my own work, and at work most of that stuff is automated to just a few commands, so I appreciate the gulp.js part of your tuto

When I teach HTML/CSS/JS, I tell my students this: "put as much functionality into HTML/CSS as you can, and use JS as a frequent, but last resort". I think that sums up the benefits of this article without carrying

Rather than another social debate on coding, let's get to the real problem with functional programming: There are not enough good resources for it. It doesn't matter as much if FP'ers are arrogant if you can just learn it pro

In my opinion, most sites should at least maintain a core subset of functionality that can work without JS. Sites existed before JS that let people read news and engage in commerce, there's no reason we should lose all that. Also, as w

Definitely an issue! We try half baked things and they just stick around. On the other end of the spectrum, once something works, it's kept around forever. It's interesting, this industry seems ripe for disruption, but it hasn&#x2

I'll second this, before becoming a programmer I was a mechanical engineer in piping, we have tons of inefficiencies like this still. Partly it's that the people who run these industries are comfortable to keep using fax and e-mai

I've actually never compared the two versions to see if one is much better than the other. At the time it was released, it was kind of a fact that the translations lost some/major nuance, however I played them in English and enjoy

I am beyond excited! I never thought Shenmue 3 would be released. I remember when Shenmue 1 came out, it was billed as Yu Suzuki's opus, and at the time the world's most expensive game at 70 million USD. To leave your opus unfinis

Seems like a lot, but if you consider cost of translation, studio time, voice actors, etc, I can see it being 100k, especially if you want to pay the translators and actors fairly.

I sort of agree, I can see virtues, but I've never seen good examples. From all my full-stack work, it's hard for me to imagine really pure isomorphic examples. Definitely we'll have similar patterns and such, and small snipp

I'll go on record as saying I think the slider is a good idea. It's the subtle difference between picking from a pre-defined list at once versus exploring your feelings sequentially that makes it valuable. If as the weeks go on th

I really love the slider, the fact that you can't see all options at once makes your reflection less automatic, you consider each one as you slide up and down.
