You laugh, but I'll bet you there's someone pitching this very product to room full of enthralled VCs right now.

I'm not sure what the point of this post is - it just restates Bartle's player types. The introduction implies there's going to be some sort of analysis of how to tailor game play to each type, but there's only a vague s

This is an obviously ridiculous take on a relatively clear idea: building complex systems using multiple development teams requires effective coordination, which implies not only development skill, but communication of technical plans. If y

I'm calling BS on this entire pile of nonsense.

Having candidates talk through the solution to a non-trivial programming problem is a critical tool for me. I need to find developers that can not only code, but work as a part of a team - something that requires significant communications

If a client wants to pay my going rate for development work, then it's profitable. It may not turn out to be profitable for the client, but that's not my problem.

The difficult thing for "the kids nowadays" to understand about GenX is the fact that we grew up under the threat of nuclear annihilation. It seems a bit absurd now, but there were times in the 70s and early 80s where it seemed li

I'm seeing a lot of responses to this article and to some comments that are of the "just don't do drugs or drink alcohol, what's the big deal?" variety. To the people with that attitude I'd like to plainly say

Why would I use this when Google returns fantastic recipe options at the top of any recipe-related search results page, including pictures, ratings, and an ingredients summary?

I'm confused: the list of 'project management software' is a list of task management software. None of those is for managing projects.

Interesting that most of this rant is focused on static dashboards - does anyone really use static dashboards? I can see if you're stuck using 1998 technology like Excel that you might throw together some static charts/graphs&#x2F

Using Javascript on the back-end to build stylesheets based on tags actually used might make some sense, but client side? That's just dumb. There's so many ways that can go wrong.

My versioning scheme is based on UNIX timestamps of releases, all concatenated together. Something like this: {major release timestamp}.{minor release timestamp}.{last patch timestamp}, which winds up like: 1542051468.1576431468.1613410668

MapReduce is a useful tool in some contexts, but the the hype surrounding it always felt like people patting themselves on the back for re-inventing relational algebra.

"It is fair to say that I don’t understand it, so I cannot even rant about its features, shortcomings, or flaws." Then I don't understand why you're writing an article about it? Just to rant about the React hype? That se

"Let's think about queries as a function." How about we don't, and think about queries as the algebraic relations that they are? I always found this explanation of SQL (and SQL-like) recursion much more reasonable than e

Agreed. The article reminds me of the arguments that religious fundamentalists make against evolution: "there are still monkeys, so how could it be that we evolved from monkeys, wouldn't all the monkeys have evolved as well?"

Just because this guy doesn't clearly understand technical debt doesn't mean that his experience is universal. This sounds like something an MBA would write. If you're an experienced (or even somewhat inexperienced) developer
