"Hopefully you agree that a thriving ecosystem of independent developers is an important competitive advantage for Apple." If Apple cared about a thriving ecosystem of independent developers, they would make it easy for developers

Hmm, OK, I'm guilty of having the biases and preconceptions that he's describing. However, even after reading through his post and some of the articles he linked to, I didn't see anything that really changed my mind. Even kn

Hang in there buddy. As others have said it all starts with being content with yourself first. Focus on your hobbies, especially those that come with an "instant community". Get out and do new things and enjoy life. Everything

Great article. Couldn't agree more. These are all reasons why I don't understand why there is this rush to embrace Javascript on the server side, the one place where you are actually free to use a "reasonable" language

I'm definitely interested in seeing what React, and React Native, can do, but I have to say these people cheering like Ofrah just gave them a free car are kind of turning me off. "This is a native component". "WOOOOOOOOH

A testament to our jaded modern times: I tried to skip ahead in the first video, because you know, 4 minutes was too long for me to spend watching an airplane parachute down out of the sky and into the Pacific Ocean. Get to the action, am

I'm building a SPA with a REST backend, and I don't think there's anyway around this. It seems fundamentally if you are exposing your API over HTTP, then it will be accessible. All of my API actions are behind an authentica

It's illegal here too. Didn't stop Khosla and his billions.

Not sure why this is being downvoted. It's a simple reality that at a certain point of inequality and general unfairness, the main thing that the elite need to fear for is their own safety. Look at Brazil. The wealthy have bullet-pr

If only it were clearly legally futile. When you are a billionaire, NOTHING is legally futile. You get to help make the laws. I am still pessimistically thinking he will eventually find a way to have his way. With that being said, I&#x27

Thank you! I will never understand this push towards "isomorphism". Why do you want to use more javascript? I use javascript because I have to, not because I want to. I love being able to work in the language of my choice on

I have to say that I'm shocked that some of the early comments here complete dismiss what I consider to be the greatest and possibly most important of mysteries we are confronted with. If not great and important, at least the subject

Sorry to turn this into a framework war, but as someone who made the move from Groovy/Grails to Scala/Play Framework, I can't imagine ever going back. Or in other words, my answer to "A or B?" is "C".

I was going to make a similar comment. There is an undercurrent of "raising money = success" in this posting. The whole concept of throwing money at 21-year olds and hoping they find an idea still seems bizarre to me, but obviou

Please tell me that this Ryan Lawler from TechCrunch is writing in that style to insinuate his utter disdain not only for the FanHero business model, but for the whole "free money for 21-year olds with a half-baked idea" industry.

Almost the exact same story here. I never thought to change the region to see what was causing a $3 charge every month, and at $3 I didn't have the energy to investigate further until about a year of needling frustration built up and

As an introvert, it's fascinating to me how there are people who look forward to those awful team lunches and office birthday cakes. I feel exhausted just thinking about those things.

If you aren't going to use $scope.$watch, you might want to ask why you're using Angular in the first place. From my own experience building a large-ish hybrid mobile app in Angular, I haven't run into any performance issues

The only thing surprising to me about this is to hear that this founder apparently had noble intentions at the start. I just assumed that every company that does this is cynically inducing more (short-term) work out of their employees whil
