   Has anyone successfully got this to work? I was excited to try it so I did: $ rm -rf ./node_modules $ npm install yarnpkg $ ./node_modules/yarnpkg/bin/yarn and it just freezes up and never finishes

   I LOVE GIMP! GIMP is a great competitor to photoshop. It misses a lot of the shortcuts that photoshop has introduced to make editing easier/quicker but I've always been able to do everything I needed to do even if it takes more

   Its not that it isn't obvious, just that sometimes your focus is on other things and you forget to think of these things. At large organizations you might have a designer, product manager, front-end developer, and back-end developer an

   I did it for 3 years and enjoyed every minute of it but it is difficult. When people discuss being a digial nomad its similar to how people discuss sailing... it is glorified even though it is hard, we just don't talk about the hard ti

   I don't believe the backend development we know today is obsolete or will be having many changes in the upcoming years. In every project I've worked on the front-end has always been the slower/buggier part of the stack becau

   I'm not a java developer but I find this generalization pretty ignorant (sorry... I don't mean this in an insulting way... maybe misinformed is a better word?). The JVM is an extremely fast system and if you run java on top of it

   Things like react-native and electron aren't becoming popular because people think they are better than writing native, they are becoming popular because of the dream of "write once, run everywhere". Most people are already d

   This is definitely a common use case and very valid for smaller applications. If I were you though I would avoid applying your experience on smaller scale applications as a way to say that everyone who can't do that are using bad fram

    I think everyone is different and it is hard to make everyone happy. This website is 100% more readable to me than HackerNews. It was painful to switch back to HN comments after viewing the final product of the site. So yes there are some

    This is completely wrong. In our area (Silicon Valley) it is common and expected to push hard and work long hours. It is an extremely competitive environment and unless you're forced to go home most people work late into the night. No

    If homebrew is your favorite then you are probably a person who also loves to run Gentoo. For me, I moved away from gentoo in ~2005 because it just wasn't practical to be compiling everything from source all the time. Binary packages

    That hasn't been my experience and I run Fedora, which is known for running cutting edge technology, compared to more stable distros like Debian. Admittedly, I know how to use linux, so I might not notice problems that beginners do.
