I agree with you, and I regret posting this now. I found the article shocking, and I wanted to elicit some comments from this community. But now I see that it's better to leave articles like this out than to thrust them on others.

The bad example hides an even worse situation than you imagined. Here's another example from their github [1]: body { background: darkgrey; transparency: .7; font: 72px "Comic Sans", cursive !please; }

Another way to bypass these fields where you can't paste a password (many games are guilty of this atrocity): make an AutoHotkey[1] script for rapidly typing whatever is in your clipboard. This line will make ctrl-alt-v type your clipb

We disagree whether meeting the needs of your users is a technical challenge. The ability for software to meet changing needs is a technical quality of the software.

What happens when the needs of the customers or users change? What happens when your understanding of their needs was imperfect and needs to be updated? Is the software that met the old needs still good? Was it ever good? What happens when

You are right on all counts. I should be more considerate with my thoughts and words. I appreciate your nuance. Thank you. I would not eschew a plan, but I would alter or abandon it when it's favorable to do so. I meant only to advocat

The agile principles are fairly solid, as far as principles go. They're people-first and they downplay process and planning. You can't blindly follow a plan, process, or ideal. Think. Communicate. The right thing to do changes in

Not to mention whatever web font that is [1] renders terribly in windows. If I cannot read your article on criticizing text communication without copying and pasting the contents into a text editor, I close the tab. Screenshot: http:/

LINQPad is one of the best tools I've ever used. I can't recommend it enough for anybody who wants a C# or F# scratchpad, or wants to quickly query a database.

The article is definitely not clear about this. In fact it says "bonus points if it's open source" implying that you expect to see proprietary work. It was a bit of a red flag for me while reading.

It mostly filters for people who spend a lot of time preparing for interviews, practicing that problem or similar ones, from books of problems known to be asked by interviewers. In a more general sense it filters for people who want a job b

I love Visual Studio, but many of the JetBrains IDEs are great too, like WebStorm and PyCharm.

It is wasteful to spend time doing something that benefits nobody, or where the benefits outweigh the cost. Your time is worth something.

Shouldn't productivity be measured in how much time it takes to solve problems? The amount of code produced at the end is only relevant if typing is a significant portion of your time spent. Typing is rarely my bottleneck.

Copyright isn't a right to sell a work, granted to the creator. It's a restriction on copying works that others have created. You can still sell something to somebody, even if it's in the public domain.

I'm a .NET developer who uses linux from time to time. Mostly the reasons are licensing costs, linux being easier to develop on in some other languages, and personal growth. I am orders of magnitude more productive using Visual Studio

Well, this explains why my build has been broken for a few days with rustpkg errors. I spent about 30 minutes yesterday looking at it, and I couldn't figure out the problem.

I have tried many times to do TDD. I find it extraordinarily hard to let tests drive the design, because I already see the design in my head before I start coding. All the details might not be filled in, and there are surely things I overlo

I couldn't live without Home and End. They're two of my most frequently used keys. Do you know of any other similar keyboards with the home/end/pg cluster intact?

A minor nitpick: the default setting is "Anyone on Google+" so they don't have to have any relationship with you at all.

FWIW I see a lot of people on #rust who come from a C# background.
