My guess is that most companies decide to cut the cost of maintaining responsive web apps since they are already paying developers to maintain native mobile and desktop web. Because, in their minds "who wouldn't just use the app&q

I'm not sure what posting this accomplishes, but it certainly was not intended to shame the developers, though I can see how it might be perceived that way. I am more than satisfied and thankful for everything else that Mozilla provid

What many seem to have missed from this is the bit at the end where Fowler concedes: > I don't feel I have enough anecdotes yet to get a firm handle on how to decide whether to use a monolith-first strategy. after linking and mentio

Never rely on your ISP to provide great wifi equipment. This is not something specific to Comcast. Generally, it seems residential ISPs are only on the hook for providing quoted speeds via a wired connection to their gateway. This is why

Agreed, and not trying to be pedantic, but it might be more accurate to say: "If AB is a vulnerability only if B is present , then A is not a vulnerability".
