Yap Spotify uses Python. They had few talks at RocketSpace in SF on their use of Python and Big Data analysis. Big Data has definitely helped with Python uptake. There are many great packages for scientific computing with Python like SciPy,

Been playing with the datastore and the data is not visible in the Dropbox folder. I'm sure it's somewhere there buried under a safe blanket. So far only it's data sync limitations are a small annoyance but that can be resolv

Well said. Do you use a 10K LUX lamp to help with the winter blues/seasonal depression? I find it helps me. 1 hour of it in the morning while I read a book and I'm good to go.

Or have a capable team. No feat is impossible with the right team and leadership. I know easier said than done but the fish always rots from the head.

Take a look at the site's JS files and the proud developers stamping their names all over it. Google their name and you will see the dev work was outsourced offshore. It feels like there was no one overseeing engineering quality across

The reason you are seeing so many comments criticizing the work done on these government sites is due to the mountain of money spent on offshore outsourcing to deliver rubbish quality. A grad/junior software engineer in Silicon Valley

"SURESH PALDIA" likes to get his name into every block of JS code. Ref: https://kyenroll.ky.gov/Scripts/HBECommonUtility.js Seems to be a common pattern with these gov websites or maybe the outsourcer. Bad qu

hahaha what a crock of bull. Probably the same experts that built it were quoted as saying that. Or maybe it is true... when you cut and paste every code snippet from the web and mush it up to create this site it does add up to 500m lines o

You don't need "sophisticated testing frameworks" to validate code quality. TDD should be caked into your culture. Even if it's not as detailed as some larger companies. Pushing code to production should be an automated

Ditto. BitBucket is great. Supports both Git and Mercurial and as pointed out with free private repos how can you say no.

Code needs major cleanup. As a start encapsulate the code into a Module Pattern and stop chaining variables to the global prototype. Finally as mentioned here, why would anyone be placing links to a untrusted 3rd party JS code on their site

Coffee definitely! esp the first few minutes after consuming it when the altered state (caffeine high) kicks in. My belief is that your mind needs a state change to create a moment of insight/s. Like Einstein said, “We can not solve our pro

MVC is nothing more then a pattern for component interactions allowing the separation of information. How you implement it is really up to the developer but this is the "starting" point for some and for many a guide. Look at Django, it is o
