So it's just another express abstraction rather than an alternative then, considering express is a dependency.

So your paid for product for scraping and structuring information from a webpage cannot actually return most content off a webpage as it is now? Wouldn't that be a more important vertical slice of a product for an MVP than having a ful

TDD isn't bad at all for a mature product where you have clear requirements for additional feature development and granular developer tasks. I've just seen a lot of it where a product is still in broad strokes development and deve

It's amazing how quickly the mind absorbs trends and makes assumptions. From the moment I started reading the top of the page I assumed this was going to be publicity for a new ICO raise.

Would over-incentivising lead to more scatter-gun contribution and make the real trends hard to surface?

I can't stare at white text on black with no visual hierarchy and get anything useful from it without really forcing myself to concentrate hard. Which is exactly the opposite of what I want from an aggregator.

Good security doesn't require obscurity.

It's a business struggle. You're not going to hire Clojure devs. You're just not. So every hire will be a cost to cross train through language as well as get used to the codebase. And a lot of more seasoned devs are very bina

does pragmatism really fade away in the face of progress?

This just seems like a mess of existing ideas and abstractions mashed into a pseudo-philosophy.

It could also be streamlined by just understanding your key metrics and visualising those over spunking out chart porn. Adding magic into the mix hoping to surface the right thing at the right time but not being entirely sure that would be

You're also only going to get any of the perceived benefits of the choice to build a custom UI kit if you're only solving the same problems that the framework authors were solving. If you suddenly need, as an example that I'v

The contract between the things that are provable on-chain and the actual real world where people are not so straight-forward to interact with is the point where you realise that only a small percentage of this model is actually a tech prob

In an engineering centric product. Why would a mom and pop email / news / casual gaming portal succeed directly because of good engineering? Time and time again we massively over-play our role in many business stories.

In Reading where I used to live all they did was link me up with restaurants I actually want to eat at but can't because of kids or work or whatever instead of just disgusting quality pizza/curry/chinese/fried chicken jo

Or it speaks to years of cost benefit analysis and outcome of someone doing this maliciously is so benign or so embedded within a trust chain that there's no benefit to closing that particular hole. Not that I have any expertise in thi

My 3 year old has had a kindle fire 7 (standard one not the kid case version) he can use to play games and watch shows in the mornings rather than have the TV on. Bought it for £29 at Xmas and at that price didn't bother buying any pro

It's the same because of how it is but different because of techy features no one who is needed for it to get traction cares about so it's doomed to obsolescence.

If you're spending time worrying about this you're either working on an incredibly mature product with nothing other than micro-optimisations left as business requirements, or you don't understand opportunity cost.

I can't speak for the situation at the NYT but the actual public site for online papers are often pretty simple things with most of the complexity being ad logic. The systems here almost entirely deal with writing and content retrieva
