Mint provides value and it's a trusted brand, so people feel okay about giving them access. I could potentially trust Mint but anything smaller and not based in the US definitely not.

This definitely is in the right direction, but leaves out a lot of very important things. I think of a senior developer as someone who is effective. Roughly that means: * Planning: Ability to take on large, ill-defined problems, define them

TCP is usable everywhere. Socket.io builds on top of websockets. Socket.io is useful when you have legacy web browsers that may not do websockets. Beyond that, it does not bring much over regular websockets.

The really interesting thing is that the Economist has been able to increase their rates while still growing subscriptions. Their digital subscription is as much as print as well. They have been blessed by a wealthy readership that is price

I work at Trello. We actually don't think of Trello as Kanban. Trello at its core is a collaborative list of lists. You can use Trello to implement a Kanban workflow but Trello is not an implementation of Kanban. A lot of people use Tr

This isn't really material, but more of a "I've copied the colors and misused them." A huge part of material is animations and behaviors and this doesn't have it. Simplest example is buttons. Go to http:/&#x2F

We have never rejected anyone based on which school they went to, and conversely have never extended someone an offer based on the school they went to. The schools we actively recruit at all admit less than 30% of applicants because we have

Dart requires a major redo of everything. Kotlin is a nice evolution with an easy and soft transition.

My biggest hope for Google IO '14 is the announcement of Kotlin as the Android language. Yes, you can already use Kotlin for Android actually but it's not well-supported and the community is small. The benefit for Google and devel

The biggest issue with this benchmark is the unrealistic data model and the access pattern. From my admittedly limited knowledge a better benchmark would involve: - String keys because who uses int keys? It would be important to create a ne

Another Trello dev here. Basically, we have many clients that are consuming the API, including our mobile apps. We never change the published interface so that if you're getting some board fields that will always work. This means that

Another Trello Android dev here. We use gradle for building. The actual app is split into two, trello-app and trello-lib. Anything that can be done w/o Android like SQLite caching, API calls, etc., is done in trello-lib which is a plai

Why? You already have it just the way fanout has done it with an extension. XMPP as a protocol is very throughly thought out and mature with tons of libraries, clients and servers.

Genymotion is absolutely amazing. Not only is it super fast but also has images with Google Apps, which are almost impossible to get on an emulator. The downside of using Genymotion is that it's so fast it will hide a lot of performanc

Speed is only one of the tradeoffs. You also lose access to the native interactions, controls, transitions etc.., which makes a lot of the mobile web apps be very alien to the users since they don't really quite fit with the rest of th
