Not the OP, but when I was doing CGI scripts Perl 5 wasn't released yet. And even when it was it took a long while for people and systems to migrate. Quite a bit of the early web apps were written in Perl 4 style.

The article describes disagreeable people as "selfish, combative, and manipulative." And "Does being disagreeable-that is, behaving in aggressive, selfish, and manipulative ways-help people attain power?" Which, to me, s

Wow! Lots of memories flooding back. I (Xamot) remember your nickname. E2 was definitely an interesting place, bringing together people from many walks of life. I meet many people, who influenced who I am today. And it is unlikely that I wo

It really depends on what those experiences were at the same employer. I'm not the OP and not in the same boat. But I've been at the same employer for more than 30 years.

This is pretty nice. I really like the sounds, presets, and minimalistic look & feel.

Wonderful comment. Mirrors a lot of what I've experienced directly or indirectly in the industry. I'd add that mid-sized and up companies are usually not homogeneous. There are usually good and bad leaders, managers, and developer

When I first started using jq, all of the examples I was following used the short-form. It took me a while to figure out how to use the functions and do some advanced transforms because of this. Since this article is Part 1 of a series I su

I feel like you could replace "ERP implementation" with "business transformation project involving vendor software" and have a new Law. The same with the parent commenter's thoughts, "Sure, developers can screw

JDBC is the low level connection standard. Everything I am aware of is built ontop of JDBC. Many people use the JPA libraries like Hibernate and EclipseLink. Another popular ORM is (my|i)batis. JDBI also seems to have a decent following. Af

Similar story for me. Pretty much the only time I am disappointed with Docker Swarm is during monthly host OS patching and the networking gets messed up and we have to restart daemons and undeploy/redeploy stacks.

I would argue that many people try to commoditize developers through scrum (edit: and call it Agile). Agile is just a set of principles. Which pretty much state the opposite, "Individuals and interactions over processes and tools.&quot

I really like this idea and I really like Clojure. Though I'm curious about performance. And do you know if anyone is doing something similar with Racket? (Looks like there is a Common Lisp shell http://www.cliki.net/CL

I got that it is building a binary and basically placing it in a local repo. I also get that it is looking for a binary from a GitHub Release first, which is mildly better. I still think solutions like this are putting your build process at

Using source repositories as packages sounds like an awful idea. Not only do you have to deal with runtime dependencies, but also compile, test, and other dependencies. What happens if the tags are not numbers? What if a tag you are using i

How does Phoenix compare to WebMachine (Erlang) and Liberator (Clojure)? Specifically does it have similar decision graph tracing. Is some form of hypermedia supported or built in? If not, is it planned? These may be answered in the present

This seems like a poor study to gauge peoples' desire/aversion to thinking. You put me in a room with nothing but a button I'll probably press it out of curiosity. Put me in a garden with a enjoyable drink and I'll happi
