If you are 40 and speaking at a Tech conference how much experience do you have? Maybe start looking at moving away from the "Coal face" of development? I moved to Architect level 7 years ago and am progressively doing less and l

I know a lot of people who moved to this directly from GA, guess this is going to hurt a lot of people!

Haha I have always thought this though, I love that Tammy the waitress who I knew from school endorsed that I am capable of Network Architecture and Geospatial databases....

Essential for a few people, probably not the masses! I have used JIRA in team both large and small for around 7 years now and none of us have ever needed this functionality! Any reason why you cant simply paste a non-clickable link in to wh

Actually maybe that's why I got a permanent visa over here, I'm British and I DO want fast internet, so I can... you know... be efficient!

Sure - who doesn't love 1mb/s down and 256kish up? I'm in the process of moving apartment and I am living in the Melbourne CBD and it's fringe and I would say at least 60-70% of the apartments are still ADSL only! I can&

It has been years since I have used Django - do they still expect everything in the model to go in a single file or can you put each model in it's own file now?

Honestly I miss Milkdrop more than Winamp, there are other libraries out there that apparently have the same presets that Winamp had for it but they just arent the same :(

Quite possibly the first time I have agreed with everything in a post on HN! Just because a new paradigm exists doesn't mean it will solve all of your problems and will likely introduce several more!

I think having a good core is more important than the "latest flashiest framework" / "New Language" / "whatever" at the end of the day it will be your experience that gets you out of the shit, not som

Disclaimer: I have been using Linux as my main OS for many years now.... However, I actually agree with a lot of the below, the alternative programs on Linux aren't up to scratch with tools people build their livelihood on (Illustrator

I have pretty much moved over to appear.in 100% now, I find its latency is much better when working with remote teams (I am based in Australia and the stakeholders are in the USA (East and West coast) - Appear in is flawless, have had 8 peo

Virtualbox with a Ubuntu Desktop install on it, virtual dual monitor setup to match my physical dual monitors, 256 video memory and a decent set of my Alienware's CPU and Memory assigned to it. Feels native :)

I had the XPS L502X and it was hands down the best laptop I have ever owned: JBL Speakers that were genuinely excellent - I work at home and listen to music quite loudly so these were a huge selling point for me Plenty of Ports Easy to upgr

I understand why people disable it, if they choose to then they should expect a crappy experience. As long as the basics work (Forms submit etc), I am not going to pander to ensure that everything degrades perfectly. Likewise IE8 - fuck th

Yeah I think I need to get on board with this Choco thing - I looked at it a few years back but its app support was poor at best!

Check out the new Ubuntu Bash thing on Windows 10, its pretty impressive for most things and doesnt have the idiosyncrasies that Cygwin has :)

Great news, PHP focused for so long on ease of use that it became a victim of its own Legacy, things really picked up after 5.3!

It came in under PHP 7.0 in most other benchmarks that were issued (so higher than 5.6 but less than 7.0).

I have taken jobs where they have automatically requisitioned a Mac for me as if it is what I am expected to want to use as a coder, the first thing I would try and do is install linux on it as I find OSX painful to get modern Ops environme

This is great - I am literally just finishing a site that looks exactly like this (single product site). I would 100% use this for future things! I agree about the donation buttons as well - even keep it to micro-donating - you would be sur

I just find everything so convoluted in Powershell, don't get me wrong its much less painful than using cmd but compared to a bash shell I find myself tearing my hair out! I think things would be easier if I was a .NET coder but im not

Care to share what tools you installed all of that with? I think you can still do all of that in Powershell...

I have honestly looked at all of these but I really dont think you can get any meaningful "brain work" done on these, maybe others can - I just definitely can't!

Absolutely! Until you have tried to keep a 2+ minute mix going on belt drive decks you wont understand how much joy MP3 with its zero wow and flutter brings haha

You miss my point - it's not that you should learn it because its what people use, it's to learn it so you foster a love of the process! CDJ's and MP3's are fantastic (I pretty much exclusively use MP3 now) - but the fee
