Infantilization seems to be a wholly inaccurate description of the behavior; "pandering" or "courting" is much more accurate. TBH, if folks are having fun, and companies want to join in, I see nothing wrong with it. Dev

Something that's been on my mind is the value of code reviews as a line-by-line exercise, vs the value of a code review as a round table. I find line by line reviews useful for small PRs of limited scope (bug fixes, etc), but find it a

I agree with refactoring along the way, but I think it's important to clearly state the _purpose_ of a branch or pull request, and to make sure that refacors don't wildly blow out the scope of the PR. I've been on the receiv

I don't expect a team that is fearful of code reviews to be the best work they can do. IMO this isn't about offense, it's about removing barriers and wariness around code reviews. (But as you side, that goes both ways, to bot

Those airports already exist for other flights, and you don't need to negotiate track and land space for the path between cities. So I could see a heavily trafficked air route being (1) more logistically expedient (2) politically viabl

This is an article from 2008 . I'd take most arguments in this with a grain of salt, as it predates much of the progress that CSS (and things like Sass/Less/PostCSS) have made over the past decade.

Mapping caps lock to escape is nice, but IMO the really useful move is to map caps lock to BOTH escape and control. I use it (via Karabiner Elements on OS X), and it's great: Caps lock pressed AND released in isolation within 250ms is

Yes! To reiterate: the backlash against calorie counting into not taking calories into account at all is just as damaging. Certain foods help satiate better than others at lesser calories -- which is why some people find that eating 1500
