It's only a whim so far, but I think I'd be interested in looking for patterns in ASTs. If you can imagine scraping all the javascript off of a bunch of websites, I'd expect to see something like genotypes of jQuery emerge,

I have not used Windows 3.1, but I have developed/maintained Node.js things for a reasonably long term. What pain awaits me?

I just got a sudden bitter taste in my mouth when reading "P0" and remembering the people who used to say it out loud; is that normal? Another great thing about inverting the priority numbers is that nothing can easily go beneath

Possibly off-topic, but I couldn't help noticing that this post is from the blog of a Ruby consultancy. Has anyone else noticed a correlation between the Ruby users and this kind of emphasis on acceptance criteria and acceptance tests?

Like others are saying here, the branch named "master" is always deployable. Feature branches are named after a ticket. Pull requests are across branches in the same repo, not across repos. (It's marginally easier to collabor

Is there a chance that evolution will mitigate the rising temperatures and ocean acidity? Or are there perhaps levels those things that are fundamentally negative to life in general? Or is evolution too slow or too unpredictable to come out

I'll make an argument that going to school for art will closely relate to many careers. Art school trains students to 1) put new things into the world and take intellectual responsibility for them, 2) learn an arbitrary and mostly-hist

I've never heard of a "tree swing" before, or any swing named after the thing it's hanging from. I would call the thing in the last panel a "tire swing." (Native English speaker, FWIW.)

This would depend on the kind of software you're making and the potential for an unhandled error to cause injury, expense or damage, but yeah. I would really like some system that can tell me how many times a line of production code ha

I hear very distinct echos of Rich Hickey's talk, Simple Made Easy. In that talk, "easy" is defined as being nearby, familiar, or otherwise "at hand" to the person who is involved. This is different than "simpl

This is a cogent way to frame the acronym. There are times when repeating yourself is just accidental. I might have the same middle name as a coworker. Do we actually "share" that middle name? That depends on who's asking, or
