I think HTML is bad. I think DOM based development is bad. I really feel that Desktop UI development is much more mature and has much less legacy to compete with when developing a web UI. I think the very near future will be web assembly co

Agile is not the manifesto, I has really never been. Agile does not have a real definition.

I wouldn't hang on every word of the agile manifesto. For example you don't have to google too much before you find people having debates over unit testing vs acceptance testing in the name of being "Agile" not giving to

Both jumping ship for raises and other things are also true according to multiple sources. Job satisfaction is another leading cause. The tech industry has to fix the issue of turnover, its costing too much money and careers are being dilut

The first problem with agile is that false dichotomy - "It's either agile or waterfall". Sorry but that dichotomy doesn't exist. Waterfall vs Agile is just a good-bad binary. Surely you want to iterate quickly and stay i

Two things. 1) Humans are stupid. If we were not were not we would have long ago colonized the solar system. The technology is there but we rather not. We would rather fight, discriminate, and withhold knowledge which would, quite literally

Well, its time to move on from Hacker news. This will be my last post, I will try to get them to remove my account. Suppressing conversation about topics very relevant to technology is where I draw the line. There is nothing political about

I guess political nature of the article take precedence over any form of science or tech found in the article. Moving on from hacker news waste of time.

Why not just flag the comments. Why shut down the whole discussion? Seems like a heavy handed approach. I mean of course talking about the rampant racism in tech will make many white males uncomfortable, that the reason we post and talk abo

I'm not sure anybody used the word "racist" except for you. No offense, you seem kind of bitter. Comparing bias in tech to the fact that most NBA players are black is quite disingenuous given 23% - 25% of NBA players are whit

While I support something like this, I can't shake the feeling that everything that can be done here can already be done using the features of my desktop or editor (which is Emacs for programming and MS Word other stuff).

I agree with you but just one point - I didn't know African hair is thicker. Do you mean that African's tend to have more hair follicles on their head, or do you mean that the hairs themselves are thicker? I'm not sure if eit

I think its being conflated because the author thinks they are one in the same and is trying to make the point that they are. I happen to agree with her. However, thank you for the classic white male deflection defense.

I could do better with the Ad-lib library I wrote as a freshman in High School. At least those generated comments where coherent. The garbage that is being generated here is an incoherent mess. Deep learning is going to be another blow agai

The term Next-GEN may need to be phased out. We live in an age where Next-GEN is a transparent server update. Hi-fidelity graphics will soon be streamed over the web and game /content producers will write to some generalized platform a

Sure, its farms. Tell me another one. If yo see who owns all the wealth, it would be about an equal percentage of the population. Stop deflecting from the gross income inequality that exists in UK and across the world. Its a fight that you

Its all context dependent of course. If you are at a place for three years doesn't mean you can't interview. Three years at an organization is a long time. I've seen people interview after 6 months at an organization. Depends

I find it hard to believe that anyone with any real experience would advocate having a Jr. interview for experience candidates. Are you sure you are not self-righteous Jr. yourself. No disrespect, but what you are saying borders on unreason

1% of England's population is about 550,000, that is extreme inequality. You seem to think its OK for a small percentage of people to have everything as long as you have the right to roam around. I respectfully disagree. Wealth equals
