Having first learnt about Shopify from HN in what seems like a decade+ ago, it's great to see that the founder of it appears to have managed to grow in a self-aware and almost deliberate way. The interview is refreshing in that it is n

This is a great look at the aftermath of a management fad. Too often these management trends - like bleeding edge technologies - reach a certain point in the hype cycle and become a way for new managers to make their mark on an unwitting or

Your salary doesn't have to be unquantified. Your own salary is an implicit cost that needs to be accounted for if you are viewing your efforts as an investment. As an example, PayScale says average software developer salary is $67k in

I think one of the puzzling things about start-ups is a lack of appreciation for basic business analysis models such as Porter's 5 Forces. Having a large customer means handing over a lot of power to your buyer. Although they may empow

I have seen this opinion many times, in real life and online. I would say that if you have no users then yes, tests are optional. However , once you have users that have certain expectations about how the system behaves, then you need auto

I'm the same way. My wife likes to say "you're not there". I haven't found a way for me to turn my mind off a problem quickly yet. One thing I do that may or may not help is if I see someone trying to tell me someth

This is a promising project, however, in its current state it is at best a component library starter rather than a library you can build a full SPA with. A simple gap is any component relating to date and/or time input. As a comparison

Sometimes I find myself writing in reviews for less experienced developers the comment: this is clever but not clear. I think as developers we get too enthralled in the problem solving and forget that in the long run we are more like journa

This article simply talks about one reason that could cause a large product to fail. In my experience, an internal management focused approach is fine, but can still lead to an organisation that is good at successfully failing. The focus on

I have the touchbar on my work laptop. As a developer I would say that it is a gimmick. I leave it on control strip mode rather than mix of app controls with control strip so that the keys do not change as I change applications. Application

I think a key metric that is often missed about developer contribution to a project is lines of code in production and life-span of committed code. Although these metrics are also prone to manipulation as people reformat code to get their n

The article was a lot better than I expected to be given the slightly click-baity title. The key note for me is that move fast and break things is a motto that works well in a software/systems context where the cost of failure is low.
