It’s a cool shell. I used it for a half a year. And then it started crashing on me every ten minutes or so. That’s when I came to appreciate how important the stability of such a tool is.

What amount of money do you think you'd have to pay them in order for them to say "Yeah, that's enough. I'm not going to use my position to my advantage."?

Point #2 was the reason we made our todo app. It was amazing how many apps had due dates but not do dates. Today you should see the tasks that you WANT to do, and not ALL your tasks, and definitely not just the tasks that MUST be done by

I don't have any opinion about "made in Switzerland" for software (other than that it does make a good impression for my customers), but anecdotally (at least when shopping within Switzerland) I have noticed that the "ma

Facebook has major platform lock-in for me, though, since that's where all my friends are. The proper solution is to vote with your ad-blocker.

6 months in I rewrote my meteor app in react for a startup. At the time I was worried it was one of those developer procrastination moments, but it ended up as a HUGE win for us. Our customers are amazed at how fast we can implement featu

In my experience, Visual Studio performance has improved significantly since VS2010, but if you compare it to VC6, it's a joke. There's still an old PC at the office running it, and double clicking a project opens the IDE and loa
