This article seems to be picking on date / time manipulation within PHP. I don't see a database in use. The title should say something about PHP not handling date/time correctly. This is nothing new. I'm not positive if MySQL, PostgreSQL, O

What stories require 10s of millions of dollars to bring to life? Perhaps I'm showing my ignorance of the film industry. But, what stories require 10s of millions to make?

Perhaps we choose dichotomies such as the article suggests because they serve as useful points for further discussion. You offer many examples of companies that do not fit the two extremes of Spolsky's article. Where would you place them on

I actually quite agree that the BBB code of conduct is harmful. I'm not trying to argue for the code of conduct. What bothers me about the article is that Fee Fighters is arguing from the point of a victim. Yes BBB has a harmful code of con

On the one hand Fee Fighters is fighting the "noble" fight, but they lose points for being so ideological. BBB is a business and their terms are well known. Fee Fighters knew them and was required to abide by them and chose not to. I do lik

I have an issue with the general premise of this article. Who is saying that javascript is web assembly? I've only seen one comment in the comments so far, and its weak at that. Yes no human can read Google's javascript, but that says not

The fact that many PHP projects end up in unmaintainable spaghetti code is a mark against the programmer and not the language. Take your average PHP programmer and force him/her to code in Ruby and the same mess will result. The fact that P
