That isn't agile. Tickets should be based on relative effort, not hours, and certainly not more hours being better.

I tried to cover my tracks here and say "increasingly" aware. For instance I saw an ad the other day that offered unlimited internet on your phone for $40 a month, but in slightly smaller text (not fine print, think H1 vs H2 relat

It doesn't have to be a debate, everyone can move any one language into the other (JS into HTML, HTML into JS, CSS into JS, etc), as long as they feel that what they write will be something they can reason about later. They should take

I'm not so sure that the average person won't care. They are increasingly aware of how much they pay for data on their phone plans, and how crossing limits decreases their speeds. After a big bill or two, people start looking for

I really love this site, it's a great quick intro to Flexbox. Kudos to whoever is hosting it here now (from my understanding the original author stopped hosting it some time ago).

As I said above in a post, in my opinion Flexbox is win, it's an attempt to create a logically consistent tool for layout, vs the comparative hackery of combining float/position/display/margin to achieve your desired lay

Flexbox takes a few hours of work to learn, as others here have said. However, once you learn it, you have a logically sensible system of layout. It's worth the time. As far as it's quirks go, that's because it was slow to be

I suspect a part of this is due to America's losing of a Spa culture. Korea, Russia, Germany and Scandinavian countries seem to have (comparatively) thriving cultures, which make people more comfortable being naked around each other. I

You might be a good candidate to teach at a coding bootcamp. PROS: 1. Your energy level would match the students 2. You could make sure the curriculum stays up to date, and every few years transition some large parts of the curriculum to a

I don't think anything is wrong with you. I've talked with lots of friends (devs and not), who have noticed their attentions have changed over time. I don't think it's causation that your attention has eroded with the ri

I really feel for the person in this story. Given the heightened media lately, it's hard to feel totally secure in any interaction with the police. I don't feel completely secure talking to them or interacting with them when I see

This is an amazing follow up to the greatly missed FlexBoxIn5. Kudos to the creator!

Agree, please please please not a prequel! The big joy of Star Trek is speculating about the future, in these times especially I think we could use more optimism about a future we haven't thought of yet, not just a dramatic retcon of s

There's no order to see it in or order to avoid seeing it in. The writing is strong for each series (though which one is best is debatable). Also every series's episodes largely work as standalone, though Deep Space 9 and Voyager

Honestly that's not the archetypal style, most reviews are more measured and often have thoughtful things to say about the record. If anything, the Onion article in which Pitchfork gives all of music a 6.8 is a telling parody and fun s

Don't let people decide if your other things are actually "better things to do", certainly not a boss, they're hardly objective. Simply state that like work, they are obligations you can't miss. I frequently have ar

I've posted about the benefits of Meteor on HN before (the tiny apps I built were easy to do), and many times I've been told that the Meteor packages you'll use are out of date and require effort to make work. On this thread

As much as I want to identify with the writer of this, it's hard to. A seasoned dev, especially in startups should know that a Startup Weekend can be amateur hour when it comes to people knowing the rules and norms of business. There a

Thanks for the feedback! It sounds like you know the ecosystem more than I do, so it's good to get this point of view.

I think there can be a few avenues, each worthwhile: 1. Use Rails as a back-end only and commit to a front-end stack like Angular or React+Flux. Rails will continue to be viable for a long time, but even longer as just an easy API server. 2

That's kind of the reasoning I'm rejecting. In the year 1915, Americans could on average tie 100 knots (can't cite the source, but yes it was something I once read), and I'm sure many more were a bit more seafaring and h

We obviously type more than we write now, but I've always found the implicit suggestion of abandoning writing, or engaging in the hypothetical of having to pick only one, a bit of a pointless discussion. While it's not an exact an

I'll be honest, I disagree here. I know on the onset 10-18K is a lot. In fact I warn people before they do a bootcamp: "Do you want to spend what would fund a trip around the world?" But over a life time, if they work hard af
