A great idea for those who have no idea how to hire people!

Mob programming because they don't trust the individual developers to deliver by themselves, mob programming because no one has a clue there and they hope there is wisdom in the crowd, and mob programming because they had nothing else

Ah Scotland, where vegetables is a deep fried battered chocolate bar, fruit is a can of irn bru, good weather is rain and wind, and copper wire was invented by two scots men fighting over a penny. And a friendly greeting is the 'glesgi

You would think docker would take all the help they can get, given how bad their current code base is. Maybe they should be "closing" their blog posts, and let real developers step in.

But after we disrupted our pivot and enabled a sharing economy, we forgot what we were actually doing and when back to real jobs.

You know why we turn the sound off? Have you heard how whiny and self righteous millennials are?

I remember interviewing for a search company, but then found most of the work and business was spent on adverts! No thanks Google!

Bugs. Make sure it crashes at random times, then it takes longer to become boring.

My breakfast was magical - amazing smoked kippers, marmalade and toast, freshly roasted and ground filter coffee, a handful of fresh berries, and that was just the first course!

If you want to rebuild Rails in elixir, go for it. Seems like a wasted opportunity though - to break away from all things Rails. And yes, phoenix will end up bogged down like Rails, and hex will end up chock full of crap, it is the Rails de

Rails is not a religion, it a tech tool (a pretty poor one at that), discussing it's many flaws is not shitting on it.

The worst are the new "tech companies with internal recruiters, tech tests prior to interview, twenty stages to offer, who moan they can't attract the best. Of course not! The minute you said tech test, I said goodbye, the minute

Better design? In all seriousness Django - they get this right. It seems to hurt rails developers that it means typing a bit more, or is a little less 'magic', but then python did always attract software engineers, whereas Rails a

Improvements are a strong word, I thought they were still playing whack a mole on the numerous Rails RCE security issues.

I said this before: phoenix is the new Rails, and that is not a good thing. Phoenix will end up bogged down with the same great "ideas", hex will end up chock full of crap like gems. Elixir ok, phoenix not so much.

Best part is credit card debt is typically unsecured - spend, consume, enjoy, stick up middle finger when repayment is due. Those who do repay will of course sub those who don't over the long course in the variable rates and fees.

Agile may be dead, but the books flogging it remain on Dave's website (the so-called pragmatic programmer).

For those of us who hate what agile has become, I fully fucking approve the medium post!

We have painting by numbers for those that cannot paint, and we have agile for those that cannot program or deliver projects. Oh, and agile (TM) really only exists to sell numerous books, conferences, and basically give useless managers and

The modern day "professional", they may hold degrees, may sound impressive, probably read a few books on the topic from O'Reilly, but basically are not that good. Same with programmers, most are not that good. Same with decor

Cool story bro. And a PhD in genetics proves roundup is not a toxic and carcinogenic how?

Cool, so you have the mug of tasty roundup to drink. I'll have the coffee - bottoms up.

Use C or C++ instead?

GMO - what's not to love about plants designed to bath in larger quantities of carcinogenic pesticides whilst their natural competitors wither under the chemical assault? Or seeds that do not allow the next generation to seed? I mean t

Given the recent problem with fakes on Amazon I worry when they move to food - in China they now fake even eggs, rice, amongst others - how will they stop that getting started sold to their customers?

Find a personal itch and scratch it. In my case, I knew little about reverse engineering closed source bins and drivers but had some hardware I was not yet ready to toss out. I learnt a lot about writing new device drivers based on the spec

A good developer will Google for direction to help get a little clarity on a problem, maybe to review alternative ideas and solutions. A bad developer will blindly copy and paste and use that. Painting-by-numbers, Coding-by-google. I have s

Shame on all of you here that use fb, build apps or services on it. You do know better, yet help them continue with their behaviour as mentioned in the article.

The same advantage as just using a screwdriver to handle nails and screws? No. Right tool on the server (hint: it's not JS nor node), right tool on the client (JS if needs must)

WordPress is a pretty crazy codebase, yet, it seems sane compared to Rails. Interesting that WordPress as a service are moving to a node.js backend from PHP - even they chase shiny too
