   I have done this same, rolling my own. We copied a popular public API, LinkedIn I believe. We called it "api selectors".

   What do you use on the android side? Being able to easily edit on the phone (iOS) side is what has kept me on something like Wunderlist. I prefer text files on my laptop and home machine, but it's not as easy to edit them on iOS.

   > Code review reviews Good tech managers do this today. I do. My direct reports that give good code reviews are more valuable to me, so I need to know how well they are reviewing code.

    We've seen exactly this happen in competitive play. There was a player who would always play "Mech" Terran units, even though it wasn't the best strategy, because he had a lower APM than the Korean pros did. And it work

    And keep track of that state across 20 different instances? What we do is just log the failure and have a system like New Relic monitoring everything so that it can alert us when we hit 20% network failure.

    keyboard shortcuts can be easily remapped. This seems like a silly reason to pick one OS over the other. (e.g., switch alt and control)

    The localization one, with all of the languages, is that really a bad thing to do on an error page? Apple does the same thing in some of their UIs. If it's a brand new experience (like a user manual, or first logon), or you're in

    If it is like many of their old games, it's just packaging a dos emulator with the game, giving you a single click experience.

    You kid, but - it can be a great setup. Especially if you have complex JS code on the client you want to run on the server and your company uses a lot of standard Java libraries/services you want to interact with.

    NoSQL is not easy to use. At least not easy to use correctly in failure conditions, if your data has any complexity to it at all.

    I am 32, similar position as you (Lead SE). Just save 50% of your money, retire cheaply at 45 or 50. It's not that hard to do with 100k+ salaries. Once you get in the mind-set, the job becomes more fun. You know there's an end

    Agree and up-voted. It's supposed to be about equality, right? How can we get more equal than focusing on the ideas themselves?

    I'm a huge TypeScript fan. Yet I worry about adding Elm to new projects, mostly because it raises the level of developer I need to hire to maintain it. I'm not in SV or in a tech hotspot at all, so maybe I have to think about this
