Localhost. This frees you of all kinds of limitations. The browser becomes a true OS view port with proper security since you control what third party code (if any) is exposed to your user. What is normally the server instead becomes the ac

An athlete doesn’t go from couch potato to immediately scoring touchdowns just after a few attempts at trial and error. You can do that in video games because everything is synthetic and linear. In the real world you actually have to overco

That sounds like wishful thinking in a Dunning Kruger kind of way by somebody who never played physical sports on a competitive level. Video games are a non-social controlled environment with obvious and predictable goals, similar to gambli

As someone completely oblivious to gamification on GitHub what is the primary motivation? Is this some form of social validation, like resume padding, or do people contribute to this behavior for some other quality. What goal does this fulf

I disagree. It doesn’t take 10mb of code to put a few lines of text to the screen. This occurs because: 1. Site owners want to track everything with really aggressive spyware. 2. Many developers are grossly incompetent and will blatantly te

Tech stack frustrations exist regardless. Some people need things to be easy and thus expect some framework to do their job for them. I would rather write the lowest level universal solution possible. Being in the office never resolved th
