Whenever I hear a magician explain a trick I can't help but think it's another misdirection. Misdirection all the way down...

This article is spot on. I've been building Angular 2 and React (Native) apps over the last 3 months and I have broadly similar conclusions. Once React clicked, it really is very easy to reason about. With regard to the DI problem, I c

I was re-structuring the routing in an Angular 2 app yesterday and I came to the same conclusion as the author. I think the documentation in the routing section doesn't go into enough detail about how to configure the modules for the d

It's an item on BBC radio news today. And as I half listen to the radio the impression it gives is of the Brits making a breakthrough. Maybe Manchester Uni's marketing dept talk to the Beeb and got it on there. Who knows? As I hea

You'd have to buy their stuff using their currency, which you could only get by engaging in unfamiliar activities they called 'work', which you probabably wouldn't understand and wouldn't be very good at. In fact th

Sounds like a sensible choice. In the shadow of a deadline you haven't got time to mess about with unfamiliar stuff. I've made similar decisions. After all, if the product succeeds, you can rewrite it. If not it doesn't matte

I think I had the space games one. I remember keying in the moonlander game. What I found interesting was the feelings it stirred in me. I 'remembered' in an emotional way what it was like to be 10 years old and keying in BASIC pr

Brilliant! This brought some old feelings come flooding back - especially the link to those Usbourne books, I'd forgotten about them, I definitely had a couple of those. The author's experience pretty much matches my own formative

Service based but somewhat related. I've recently decided in my consulting efforts; if the customer doesn't try to negotiate the price I'm way too cheap. Supported anecdotally by two interactions with the same customer - a co

You're right. I skimmed it and only saw the first list of Saddest Lyrics. I'm going to go away now, and listen to Radiohead, whilst I consider my lack of focus, past failures and impending mortality. ;)

TLDR: It's High and Dry. I could have guessed that. But where is Black Star in the list? That is my go to song if I'm really lamenting the state of the world. ;)

I find this fascinating. There are a few ideas that are at play. One is the march of progress seeking to automate everything. The rationale of automation is to improve productivity. But what happens when everything is automatic? I don'

I've got an app that I started way back in February 2016 using ionic 2, so I've followed the alpha and beta, it's been a long slog, but even back when I started I could tell it was worth it. I'm currently using Angular 2

If this floats your boat, can I recommend an excellent book by Michael Rosen which combines whimsical prose with an interesting history of the english alphabet. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Alphabetical-Every-Letter-Tells-Sto...

Which is why I just bought some of those Bose noise cancelling cans. Listen at a safe volume and block out noise. They're great.

I've always wondered about 'Cargo Cult' with reference to software development. When you write software you are expecting a certain result. Surely if you don't get the result, you try something else. EDIT: ah right. So y

I hear you. I've set up testing for angular apps and whilst I don't mind the unit testing with karma/jasmine, when I've used Protractor I've found it unbearable; some functions are exposed as promises, some are not,

I used to work at the desk in my bedroom. I now work from a rented shared office 20 minute walk from where I live. The lure of a nap at 2.30pm was too much to resist. I still work at home a lot of the time, but I prefer the strict divide be

Fascinating. But there is something wrong with this analysis and I can't quite figure out what it is. Maybe there's a presumption that efficiency leads to happiness - it's not explicit but I'm sure it's hinting at i

I too would welcome a mentor! I've often thought this would be a good social network - online mentoring. Lots of upside for the mentee, not sure about the mentor...
