Also, imagine if they delivered the ship 2 years later and the client said "its all about on-land ships these days, we really need it to move on land too, oh and can we make it with sails, sails are cool. But we don't want to comp

I dislike the way it looks like JSON but isn't. My opinion is that QML not going to supersede web tech any time soon. As broken as CSS is, it is here to stay for the a while yet. The tooling for QML isn't great. You're heavil

There is a way to do this. It took me a bit of googling but it is possible. I needed the function keys or IntelliJ would be rendered useless

Yeah but the truth isn't as exciting as thinking you can write DJango app to save the NHS. It's far more fun to think you can knock something up with your friends in a few months. Then requirements start coming in, the stakeholder

+1 for the advent of code. Good for beginners and experts alike. It's well thought out, bite sized and easy to pickup and leave

Done. Cheers! Took 15 mins once I'd faffed about and organised things. Plus the Alexa integration works a charm!

Try going for a run. You get some alone time, the exercise does you good and the endorphins released afterwards can ease the problem I find myself more energized getting straight to work after a run. Hope you work it out

But it's not a random walk. And it sure beats custom apis returning random bags of data for any given UI screen. Sometimes you do a few more web calls than you might otherwise. If you can get away with it then great! Because the benefi

I did this yesterday. However IntelliJ had my back. It's History feature has saved my bacon on more than one occasion. One time I was able to go back weeks to fetch some code I'd long since deleted and was nowhere to be found in g

I also have cmake installed for Mac w/Homebrew and used a binary install of qt-5.8. After adding the clang_64/bin dir on the $PATH I too am getting 'ld: framework not found QtCore'. Anyone able to suggest where I'm

That's interesting. Instead of step 7. we have a separate release CI job which when is a one click, test build tag release. This outputs artifacts to a sonatype nexus repo. From there, the binary can be promoted either automatically or

Couldn't agree more with this. There's a lot of cargo culting with fit. There isn't one size fits all, different teams develop at different rates because of ability, requirements, deadlines, culture. Just keep it simple stupi

I'm trying out some embedded rust on arm. Tried using the rump kernel but it was a non starter. Now making headway with the yocto project [0]. I'd be interested to know if you're running rust embedded and if so how easy it is

In JVM land I look for another language on the JVM. If Scalia, groovy, kotlin haven't piqued the interest of a potential hire then it says a lot about them. A few years ago it would have a been a nice to have. Now it's actually su

Me too. Her writing is superb. I find her presenting a little more rambling and less informative/entertaining. It's ballsy to write a blog asking questions about docker.

Surely if a package manger provides the ability to store in VCS then it's admitting defeat for reproducible builds. I'm thinking npm here

Interesting, I'd not come across tabbedout. I'm hoping a business plan will form when we follow the good peoples advice in this thread. Doing a plan at this stage feels a bit like waterfall to me. I realise you can't get far

This article has been our mantra from the beginning. Thanks for the advice. I think we knew this in our guts but when you don't have any experience it's all too easy to do the technical stuff which is more familiar.

It was actually option 6 ;-) thanks for the input. That is our hunch too however I suppose the difficulty has been knowing when to engage: too early and you're just some guys with promises and vapourware, too late and you've got a

Devs should never be checking in code that results in a compilation error. Regardless of whether something needs generating. Also there’s a difference between an entire companies code in one VCS and a product with many modules. I’ve had ex
