'Old code' !== 'Bad Code' I would say that's an assumption we as developers need to teach society, but we should really work on teaching it to ourselves first. I can't tell you how many times I've heard &q

I think you're taking their conceit of a VP audience too seriously. To me that just feels like a fun narrative choice, and the article is just intended for any adult dealing with and slightly bewildered by code. A lot of people find th

I never considered this! But it's fun to think about! I'm a bit naive about the environments languages have to run in... but if we have a web app framework in Swift, Servers in swift (as mentioned in comments above), and iOS in sw

Very interesting! How exactly does writing about interviews get you the income? Is it ads, affiliate links, etc?

Thanks for the info, this is something I've always wanted to learn a bit more about, would appreciate any resources you could point me to.

There are few best practices, and the ones we have aren't explicitly stated in one universally agreed upon place. My advice to you is this: 1. Focus on learning Javascript firs and foremost. Kyle Simpson's "You Don't Kno

I think it would be valuable to do so. Product-market fit has more nuance than the words suggest. Maybe the product wasn't right for the market they tried (Caviar for rural Kentucky I'd imagine), or the market as a whole never wan

This is a great plugin, enjoying expanding CSS to markup. I've perused the site, but didn't see anything on expanding to a pre-processor. Does anyone know if that's possible?

I want to echo something suggested here already, but it's important: make libraries a part of your life.

It sounds like a miscommunication between you two, nothing more than that. I would view this as a blessing though. For me, interviews are a chance to evaluate how well we can communicate. If I can't be relaxed, make jokes and just feel

I have a feeling you're overwhelmed because you didn't do the proper work up front to ensure scope creep wouldn't happen, and that you'd always feel compensated for your work. A lot of freelancers publish guides for this

I've read and heard the commonly echoed sentiments about Macros being used to build a language for your application. I'm a bit confused in how this is philosophically different than just writing domain specific classes and functio

This is a good article, I'm sure I'll find myself saying "no bad bunny code" soon. I've encountered this phenomenon and there are a few situations where it can feel natural or correct to copy and paste code. While I

I'm really excited for all these new changes in JS. ES6 and onward is beginning to feel like a whole new language.

Clearly, you feel really passionately about this topic, which makes your choice of words all the more unfortunate. If you had made your points kindly, rather than saying "Now you understand how stupid you sound.", I would have lov

Chris Pine's Learn to Program! It's a great book that both introduces coding concepts and Ruby really well.

This is a really well done site, and it's a perfect resource for someone learning JavaScript. Most new devs get it wrong when choosing what to learn. They forgo learning plain JS in favor of jQuery, then they forgo jQuery to learn a fr

Depends on how you're a newbie! New to coding - Chris Pine's Learn to Program is THE book. I like it more than Why's guide, or any website. New to OO - Try Sandi Metz's Practical Object Oriented Design in Ruby, this book

I write JavaScript for a living, and I often forget if it's one word or two. It doesn't mean you don't know JS. And yes, we all know HTML isn't a programming language, but it's so essential to releasing software now

On one hand, I really like that developers and other smart people can put out work like this to supplant their income. Also it's a way for us to get boots on the ground knowledge, without the filter of a publisher. On the other hand, I

I'm not going to doubt that the author has reasons for saying what he's saying, but examples would have been nice. For instance most API design is based off the standard Rails scaffold command, and an explanation about what's

A good and informative read. While I'm new to programming, I have began to judge my productivity in terms of lines of code I remove, not add to a project.

Certainly true, and when I teach I try and make sure the distinction is respected. However as time goes in, it's worthwhile to highlight the ways markup is slowly becoming like coding. Semantic markup acts a lot like an instruction for
