This is not a good idea. Developers already have an incredible amount to learn without making them devops too. This is the sort of thing than non tech management would love though. It’s a great slogan. Essentially the sign of mismanagement

I watched a documentary about ketamine use by party people. It profiled a young guy who had destroyed his bladder and needed to use a pump and hole in his belly to urinate. Really disturbing.

They’ve removed the original blog post that gave their rationale. If anyone can find it I’d like to read it again. The original reason was some bullshit about protecting investors from volatility.

That is absolutely not the reason that they publicly stated they stopped allowing purchasing and only allowed selling. I’d dance on the grave of this company.

I’ve met many Iranians and I have to say they were without exception exceedingly polite, friendly and welcoming and immaculately mannered and hospitable.

Interesting post. This reminded me of what it was like to be a true beginner a very long time ago. I’d forgotten just how confusing those initial concepts like arrays could be.

The disturbing thing about this report is there’s no fuzzy out of focus shakycam image. What could it mean?

I quit Facebook the other day. I didn’t like my online persona. I’d rather friends and family knew me in person or not at all.

This is classic anti Microsoft rant I’m surprised the title doesn't include M$ The reason people use typescript is because it’s really great technology, not because bill gates hypnotized developers.

Perhaps the title should be “err on the side of boring technologies”, although I don’t even agree with that. The right technologies for a project are the ones you deem to be right, given appropriate consideration of many factors. Your proje

Generalizations like “choose boring technology” are just unhelpful slogans. Truth is you should choose technology given consideration of its pros and cons, not on the basis of some slogan. There are very good reasons to use mature technolog
