You are watching a classic 21st century robbery in action, where lawyers are robbing corporations and employees under some pretense of magical justice. Counting the downvotes on comments, HN has sharply taken a socialist turn and lawyers ar

Discounting the tripe "You go girl" tone of the article, there is no divine law asserting that there ought to be only two forms of (W2/1099) employees. The labor laws should change in tune with evolution in technology. Howeve

I think majority of these articles are being written by developers who always assumed that Apple would never move away from Objective C. By introducing Swift Apple has now directly threatened their unique skill set. In my opinion Apple reco
