I have always been strongly opposed to CSS resets and global CSS styling rules in general. There really is bo need for it if you know how to isolate your classes correctly. Some Atlassian plugins create global styling rules and they tend to

A lead developer is certainly not a manager and is in no position to rethink someone's employment. A lead developer can lead and guide, and generally make technical decisions, but must do so with humility and respect. I've been a

On a related note, I just quit one of my contracts, but in this case a fellow developer was asked to become a SCRUM master a few months ago. The word "master" must have gotten to her head because that's what she thought she w

You're describing our justice system in general. When anyone of low income is even accused of a crime or is fined an even small amount of money, it snowballs into a much larger issue because of their inability to pay, take off work, fi

This just demonstrates FBs switch to a different demographic. The user base has actually increased according to TFA, but it doesn't say which age group. I am betting the over 55 crowd, judging by the number of political and religious p

I recently did exactly this and it wasn't that bad. It's not that I couldn't use Backbone, I decided not to because I didn't see the point in introducing yet another library when all I really needed to do was bind inputs

Yep, you can always figure out a way to make money, but you can never make time. There's probably a clear song lyric in there somewhere but I can't see it yet.

I am a true introvert and nerd at heart but I fake being an extrovert really well. Fortunately I got married and had kids young, so loneliness is not even a possibility for me now. My wife is a huge extrovert and expert on human behavior so

As usual, the really interesting bits are in the comments. I especially find "bullshit jobs" -> Basic Income especially true. I've always thought the same thing for as long as I've had a professional career. I worked

Except that by definition his role is to serve the greater good of the population, not special interest groups. The FCC is a government agency, not a private corporation in which case your argument might apply. Their entire mission is provi

I don't usually like to be political, but it has become quite evident that the US government is a true oligarchy. Even if the entirety of the US population were to petition against this, Mr. Pai would do the bidding of those he serves,

Apple seems to love UI changes because...nobody knows. Examples of horrible and/or unnecessary UI changes over the years: GarageBand, Xcode, and iTunes. Especially iTunes. What I hate about modern UI design is when you have a situation

I have a 2015 MBP I use for work. It is indeed everything that folks say it is, except that I absolutely hate the magsafe. Any little provocation pops that damn thing right out. I'm actually not a fan of the new MBP but thank God they

For me, the perfect solution was a cubicle with high walls. It was open enough to encourage collaboration when needed, but closed off enough to allow for privacy when needed. It was perfect because I was able to get into deep concentration

I was at the DMV with my daughter getting her learners permit (shows my age), and we had her passport, but they insisted on seeing her SSN card as well. Luckily we had it, but I found it absurd that a passport was not enough! Yes, my state

As a (partial) GIS engineer who has worked extensively with ESRI and the like, I can assure you that this is pretty silly. Maps are deceptively complex and require tons of data and cpu cycles. And of course they depend on a back-end server

Oh God #10. I currently work for a project manager like this. He asks for LOE, and he rejects it, saying there's no way it could take that long. Then we'll be halfway through development, then told that in a week we're gonna

In my experience it has been due to several glaringly obvious oversights and blunders. 1) Not empowering developers by blocking access to critical resources, basically walling them off in a tightly-controlled box and still expecting them to

I fully believe in testing, but as with all things in life, you have to consider the ROI. I work on one project where we write lots of automated tests, which often take 2-3x as long as the initial development time, and easily outnumbers tbe

JavaScript, especially ES6. I also suggest a solid scripting language like Perl. If you plan to go after "Enterprise" application development (which will actually be more like maintenance of legacy code), core Java is a good place

I often type "git stats" but I've never felt the need to go through all of this just because I'm lazy. Then again maybe that's an ironic example of laziness.

I'm so tired of this argument. There's no reason to drop jQuery for any of the reasons stated. Especially with modern JavaScript engines, the performance hit is negligible. Also, jQuery is especially optimized for complex DOM mani

My environment has to feel isolated yet not alone, i.e. I could not work alone in a basement as I tend to get anxious. Other than that: 1) A good IDE (my current fav is anything by JetBrains) 2) Either Atom or Notepad++ as a basic text edi
