Clojure is a great language that has an achilles heel right now. The community doesn't treat the lack of learning resources / documentation as a serious problem. I've heard prominent members of the community say this exactly,

I agree with this post. The worst thing about Angular is how confusing it is, particularly when it does not have to be at all. There are at least 10 things I can think of off the top of my head that are so confusing about Angular that could

I've been using R a bunch lately, but would love to use either Python or Julia instead. Does either Python or Julia have an IDE as good as RStudio? Where it's really easy to write code and get visualizations side by side?

I'm normally not a fan of O'Reilly books. But the "Vagrant" O'Reilly book is one of the best coding books I've ever read. Made me see the power of Vagrant and Chef and gets you up and running with Vagrant prett

This is dead accurate. I'm a huge fan of Sublime, but their API/documentation is an atrocity. As much as I love my current Sublime setup, if there were an editor with a well documented API for writing custom plugins I would switch

This is really great. Thanks for posting. Another necessary gmail tool is "Boomerang" http://www.boomeranggmail.com/ which allows you to control what time certain emails will go out. Great for 2am coding sessions

This is a cool post. It's a really interesting thought that this whole "learn to code" movement existed in some form seventeen years ago and somehow didn't take off when it seems like such an inevability right now. But I

What I wish people had told me about testing: * You write tests in accordance with a pattern: 1. Arrange 2. Act 3. Assert 4. Annihilate If you annihilate your test data with configuration options, and you abstract your "arranging"

This is great insight. Really like the moneyball quote.

They actually do keep track of the top scores in the country on the CPA Exam. They've been doing it since 1924. Up until 2004 an "Elijah Watt Sells" award was given out to the top three scorers in the country. Nowadays they&#

One thing that I already see happening is that there's less friction to be able to capture sports videos. For example, five years ago, if you wanted to make a Redskins highlight video, you would have to record every Redskins game - whi

What has always bothered me, is that the ratio of people consistently talking/blogging/tweeting about how important TDD is to the number of actual resources that can help a junior developer learn and practice good testing habits is a millio

I'm finding that it's a lot cleaner to use with Javascript. For example, say you have an array of items and you want to create a fieldset for each item, and add an attribute of "data-id", and "data-category" to each fieldset so you can grab

In Rubik's cube competitions I think you solve the cube 10 times, and then the fastest and slowest times are dropped and the remaining 8 are averaged together, and that's how they get those times. It's not perfectly fair, since the starting
