   I'm the lead developer on this project if anyone has any questions. It's an amazing free tool.

   Does it really matter what the generated code looks like? We use Typescript and I don't care what the final Javascript looks like. I don't plan to ever touch that code manually.

   I really like my Razer laptop. They basically look like black MacBook Pros. Quality seems very high and I have enjoyed using it for several months. Quad core Cpu and 16 GB of RAM provides plenty of power as a dev box.

   There is a company that has a virtual assistant product called AVA. Whoever made Heyava, you might want to change the name. https://www.conversica.com/

   Also need to add developer tools like Prefix.io, Glimpse, Rack mini profiler and others for various languages. These tools are a must have for all web developers.

   Twitter has almost $2 billion a year in revenues and 60%+ gross margins. They should be or could be very profitable.

   This all sounds like the downfall of taking massive investments and going public. They are under pressure to keep growing at a high pace. In reality maybe they have grown about as far as they can go. They have substantial revenues and what

   For those interested in distributed locking with Redis and C#, check out this blog post we did which also links to a github project. We use this very heavily. Hope it helps someone. http://stackify.com/distributed-method-mut

    FYI, Kudu is also the name of Microsoft Azure's app management tool...

    As a C# developer I rarely write unit tests, because of static types and compilation identifying most problems. (plus Resharper) I only use them to test business logic or complex scenarios, which is what I would argue they are meant for. No

    Most people buy a car every three years. Sounds similar to how often people switch cell phones. I don't think electric cars change much in regards to people always wanting something different or the shiny new model. The awesome thing a

    PaaS is not dead and it is not going anywhere. We use Azure's PaaS features known as Cloud Services and App Services (a.k.a. Azure websites/web apps). They make deploying and scaling your app as easy as it could ever be. The App S

    I've never used a language where space indentation was used over curly brackets. So question for those who have... When doing so, wouldn't copying and pasting code around potentially cause a lot of accidental issues? Are there so

    Are there tools like this for other languages? For asp.net there is Glimpse and the Mini profiler. What about Java, php, node, python?

    On the developer side I have seen studies showing those with less college actually make more than those with the most college education. Good programmers are self taught. It is in their blood. Getting a masters degree in computer science do

    The key to a good messaging app is all your contacts have to use it as well. New messaging apps and proprietary ones are sure to struggle for traction.

    Eager to fix what isn't broken should be more like getting better at your job over a period of time. Sitting around and rewriting apps that work perfectly to make cleaner/optimized code is not usually a good use of time. But taki

    Love it!! Way better than the 007 mode on my Model S as an Easter egg. Although, 007 is cool too... This was to a whole different level though.

    It doesn't have to. Could just be a series of queueing.

    I've always felt that was how Paul believed. He thinks marriage is between a man and a woman but doesn't think the government should be involved in defining it.

    One app with 1,000 package dependencies? Sounds like a nightmare to me when it comes time to update them and ensure they didn't break anything... especially in a language without a compiler to help.

    This is why we use knockout instead of angular. Much simpler to do basic temptation without forcing some mvc framework client side.

    I also like the model of paying for the sports we want. I don't mind paying $50 a year to watch all MLS games and I can watch them on any device.

    I never have understood why we pay for cable channels to then watch ads on them. They should be able to make some decent money just on the ads.
