It's all subjective. I much prefer the Queen's Wish look. The other one looks like somebody's MySpace page from forever ago.

I don't use Chrome. Or Gmail. Am I SOL? Also, I used to use Contactually for this a few years ago, was great with email integration and FB before they killed the API. Good luck!

I'm in a similar place as you. Best advice I got was that you learn to make great tracks by making lots of crappy tracks. Don't sweat it, just keep going, keep improving. So ignore your ego and just make a damn song already.

+1. Really a well structured and written article, with a good mix of clear prose & graphics to keep it interesting. I'm in awe of folks who make the time for the kind of effort this requires.

IBM has a division which produces technical books based on internal staff, business partner and client contributions. They've been doing this for quite a long time (I participated in one almost 20 years ago). Historically they had red

That's awesome! A similar landing page would take me 2 days, I'be agonizing over every detail, and the result wouldn't be half as good. Well done!

Monit is a gem that doesn't get enough attention. The developers also have a web app you can easily install to aggregate a bunch of monit instances with a nice web interface, alerting, and historical statistics. Absolutely the best val

I encountered PDFBox for the first time last week and although it looks promising I was discouraged by the lack of documentation. Was there something you found particularly useful, or should I just start browsing the source? Thanks!

I'm "hourly attentive" to email, or maybe "convenience attentive" if I'm waiting in line or something. For me, turning on notifications for email would eliminate the distinction between email and chat. I unders

I wonder how much of that is just maturity of the ORM frameworks and their being hidden/built into other web or app stacks.

Genuinely curious: what's not junk? (Ideally for use cases similar to what CockroachDB targets.)

Agreed. The distinction between cliche and idiom is arbitrary. We have an idiom of using 'result' for many methods that return a value (e.g. derived getters, builders) making it clear that this thing we just introduced is what wil

There are a number of second-generation sites/agencies out there now that focus on ensuring a quality of both freelancer and client (e.g. toptal.com for devs), or that simply provide matchmaking services (e.g. folyo.me for designers).

I think your first possibility is most likely (which implies that the fourth is too, de facto). When I started coding professionally I used IBM's VisualAge for Java (which was actually a multi-language tool based on Smalltalk) and it did ex

You work with what you've got, right? The goal of a school site is to provide easy access to information of use to students, parents, community at large, and on that count this seems to be doing pretty okay.
