I disagree. Where I work (and for some reason I expect this is the case in plenty of other places), APIs don't grow into being shit because the programmer doesn't know that "returning comments on the response of GET user&#x2F

Not sure what you're trying to use it for but I've been on Mint for the past 4 years and I've had no problem with it, other than the fact that every time I turn on the computer I have to run a shell script that fixes my resol

We've spent weeks debating whether to ask users to create an account or not for our app. Going for no auth would've decreased our development costs by a lot, while also increasing conversion because once installed you'd get r

Isn’t point 2 a consequence of the law that they have to follow? Don’t know about rest of the world but I think in EU they are forced to disclose your personal information to the government if asked to do so. This is also in their privacy p

I think Outlook itself is a big reason for why other email clients seem so behind. As a user, Outlook is great and I have absolutely no complaints about it. As a developer that occasionally has to work with the technical side of emails, Out

But react did "reinvent the wheel", and it did it so well that it changed the way frontend development is done. When I look at what we had before, it feels even more innovative because it offered a simple interface to DOM manipula

Yeah but here's the thing: I do understand the event loop, I understand the sync/async models in JS but I have very little knowledge of how setTimeout works in this context. That's because I've never used it, and I'

The amount of misinformation, false claims and unsupported statements in this thread is mindblowing for the quality that I've been used to see on HN. Here are some facts: - Symfony was the backend framework with the most contributors i

What did you do afterwards?

An example I often see is database normalization. Why use 5NF when we can simply do with 3NF? Fast forward this a few months later and you end up doing pattern matching on blocks of text instead of querying indexed columns.

I agree with everything but your last point. Having worked on software projects where nobody was thinking about how things are done and they were only thinking about deliveries, I can say that you don't need more than 6 months to make

I'll have to disagree. Having worked at a "large established company" during my career, I'd say that I've been given the chance to experiment with plenty of new things and projects are also started more often than y

On the contrary, the amazing programmer at xyz company may have a lot of skills that they developed from working on a large number of different projects, systems, teams and so on, because the large company has provided them with the chances

Agree, didn't think of a lot of the points you make. However from my experience, "this needs to be improved long term" will stay exactly as is, forever, in favor of business requirements and it will be improved only when the

What makes one a good programmer for a startup? Wouldn't it make sense to have them as experienced as possible (i.e. worked at xyz)?

I see a lot of people here saying how they "get burnt" by unexpected increase in their bills, because some guy who was supposed to manage the cloud made a mistake. That's not the real burn, the real burn is when you pay $8K a

I didn't start a remote team myself but for the past few months I've been trying to get into one.. Honestly the worst thing that I'm facing at the moment is lack of trust. I've passed interview tests, showcased code, sho

Honest question: why would those things be different? I mean, of course meetings can't happen if everyone is in a different timezone, but everything else should be just the same as with a non-remote team.

I thought that too while looking over their "screening process", but now I'm really curious to see how hard it is to get in. Did you go through it?
