Okay, this is stupid. I currently work on a team where I do all the development. We have another developer that really shouldn't be a developer, by because of unions and such, we can't get rid of him. I try to work with him as

There are a million apps, and only 5 people that can 'win' the app store at any time. To say it's more difficult to rocket to the top is an inane and obvious observation. It has nothing to do with indie development, it&#x27

When is this ever not the case? It's harder to own land now than it was when the government was giving it away for free. That in no way makes it impossible to own land, and no one says stupid things like "Why people can't w

The irony that the top developers started as indie developers for the most part, and simply grew their business with successful products seems to be lost on the author.

I don't know, but don't think so, that's the same difference between asynchronous and concurrent.

This is a little silly. As a developer, I love cutting code. I really don't care if I'm pair programming or not. I don't like to write tests nearly as much. If you swap in "write unit tests" in place of "pa

Until we get out hands on the OS, so outside of idle speculation, we really don't have much to go on. Steams "Big Screen" is far from mainstream ready, so I doubt that we'll see a usable OS for some time.

So you're saying that people should never do anything unless it has an immediate useful result?

As a base for a well rounded developer, I would say to pick C# or Java and Ruby or Python, and C or Go. Learn javascript. Avoid PHP, even if you're starving.

6k for a 4K 20" tablet with a 2 hour battery that weighs over 5 lbs with only an i5 and 2GB vram? This isn't going to be the ultimate Civ 5 machine that I've been hoping for.

I've been impressed with Postgres, and still have a sour taste in my mouth over MySql's sale to Oracle. So why would I want to use MariaDB over Postgres? Is there a compelling reason to give it a look?

> Xbox is one of the major revenue earning division for MS This isn't even remotely accurate. Xbox barely draws a profit in comparison to it's office, windows, and services groups.

Tesla, Apple, Google, etc... They're sexy, and in the public mind, so they drive traffic. Media used to be about information, but now it's about clicks and link bait.

My thought exactly, what's the problem here. It would have taken less time to add it and resubmit than to whine on a blog post.

But I don't like Bach. I'm supposed to listen to what you think I should like, because you think Bach is better? Who gets to decide? The terms arrogance and pretense were used for a reason.

I agree that this is what should happen, though I suspect that you'll be disappointed in the result.

I hate the arrogance and pretence of this site as a concept. I'm far more productive than pretty much anyone I know, but I also need downtime to recharge.

I can't believe you guys are debating the correct HTTP return code for a joke service? Besides, it's obviously 200.

No, it shouldn't. Although the death of a celebrity is interesting, it's not deeply interesting. However, some celebrities like Lou Reed, are deeply interesting. And it's not until their death that we generally discuss or

You took the cooking analogy too far. Programming a hello world app isn't any better for you than writing the great american novel.

I care. Aesthetics is important to me, and when presented with two comparable solutions, one ugly option and a pretty option, I'll most likely go for the pretty solution.

I'm guessing that if you're banned from flagging, then the political posts weren't inappropriate, but your behaviour was.

I support the cause, as I believe all people should have the right to privacy. However, I'm not American, and we have our own battles. Increasing awareness and visibility however, is something we all can do.

I love this, I just wish there was a way to have the font in something more readable for the areas that aren't positional format sensitive. For some reason, I can read monospaced fonts for code perfectly, but when it comes to text, I
