One technical aspect you didn't consider: The work you wish you'd done sooner (1 to 6 years ago), would have been done with that year's tech. Starting an app 6 years ago, whatever idea, would have been harder to do. Early ver

Echoing other comments, this does look pretty cool. Would appreciate a comment from OP on what the use case is with this library? Maybe an example app or ideal use case?

Right now I work in the largest company in this field, Sears Home Services. And we're moving to Seattle... so this should be interesting! I think anyone's first thought when Amazon gets into a business is that it's dominance

Recently as an exercise I worked through the examples in Sandi Metz's "Practical Object-Oriented Design in Ruby" using Javascript. To approximate her examples I did have to do a few pretty unintuitive things (for example use

The question I love asking an interview is: "In the trade-offs between time, cost, and quality, we know you can have two but not all three, which two are valued here? And you can't say we value all three." The last part is im

If American Democracy is software, then it's in a pretty good state I'd say. It does numerous functions, but they all seem loosely coupled. Refactoring policy in one branch wouldn't catastrophically collapse another branch. N

Rather than engage in outright histrionics, the author makes sensible points backed up by historical facts. However I think the author ignores that idea that sensible design alternatives exist to a lot of the perceived gridlock. We're

Rather than drawing such a broad conclusion (a troubled future for YC), it could be that's he's just trying to emulate the very informative and enjoyable essays of PG, and still trying to find his footing as a writer. I think that

I appreciate the clarity of the difference between art and craft. Craft is when the audience is the practitioners. Clarifying that distinction alone was worth the read.

I'm not quite sure you can make that leap. While it certainly fits his criterion of a large non-practicing audience, you forget that it actually lacks art (99% of the time). It's as workman-like as accounting or perhaps more akin

I don't understand why jobs and curiosity have to be so starkly opposed. I studied mechanical engineering, and I consider that a degree for anyone who's curious about the world. If you want to have a strong foundation to peel back

The forum was a big surprise, glad to see small communities like that soldier on. I think we had the same reaction to the clickbait headline though. I thought "No, it's no secret, it was widely known about when it came out and as

I encounter these "civic engagement" apps every week. Honestly, unless the author plans to actually work hard on this, I find these kinds of apps more damaging than helpful. No one benefits from a half-baked half-implemented app,

This is a really nice presentation that introduces a lot of concepts well and also helps a person conceptually understand how functional programming fits in to the larger programming world. Book mark it and share it.

The only solution to the problem which I would trust would be continuous maintenance and a design that doesn't rely on thread strength to maintain a joint.
