My last gig forced us to use Asana for ticketing (!!!). It's meant as a Basecamp-like tool but I'm not sure if it delivers on that either. Currently we use Confluence for documentation, which, like many other Atlassian products, i

I always ask this of full-stack/backend devs who shit on frontend: show us what you've managed to build with that attitude.

Maybe we're both misunderstanding, but I think they meant "User Experience". Surely you agree that this is an important consideration in software development?

To contribute some anecdotal findings to the larger IT discussion in the thread, a lot of it comes down to this IMHO... There are three levels of understanding of personal computers and how to manage them: A) Basic understanding, the vast m

Not that I think OP is very good, but '31201 bytes' has little to do with UI, unless you are talking about the specific use case of a slow connection.

Also, when the dinosaur is fighting the Nazi robot, the Swastika flips sides. Boy, I sure hope somebody got fired for that blunder.

Lateness is often considered rude because it shows you don't care about something. If this is a situation where that assumption is correct, then it's time to move on to a new job. Late for meetings makes you a jerk. If you get you

The author is pretty open about this not being anywhere near ready. It would be better if they were open about the possibility of this loophole being patched up in the spec, making this a pretty useless trick.

You can put "C developer" on your resume, good luck shopping around "Typescript developer" experience.

No, that's Angular that has the perf issues.

- Not-so-great documentation. - Lengthy learning curve. - Not concerned with performance at all (can be a nightmare on mobile devices with low RAM). - Google's history of throwing away and/or deprecating projects, (see Angular v1)

As if we didn't have enough reason to move on from Angular. Now you need to learn Typescript to contribute or grok the source files?

by usingpond 12y ago
Not at all, the author praises Backbone. The learning curve, busted syntax, and performance issues unfortunately ARE specific to Angular, that's the entire point of the article.

"generic disagreement with browser-side rendering" re-read the article. Author has no issue with Ember or Backbone.

Not if you're in an environment (like mobile) where you want to reduce repaint.

So is it the obvious usability fail that this statement would seem?

In some apps, yes, but in many others they are just as atrocious as they've always been—just adhering to material design a bit more. For example, Chrome on iOS has a pretty wonderful UX but Maps is a shitshow; it takes me several frust

Many of these are: 1) Much less legible, and in some cases outright lazy 2) Extremely vulnerable to Javascript's fast-and-loose type checking. However it's good to be AWARE of them, since you tend to see them a lot in team project

What? Care to give some context for discussion instead of promoting your site?

by usingpond 12y ago
Yes you should use it. We name feature branches after JIRA tickets for accountability and transparency. It's made tracking branches and tickets associated with them super easy and fast. You've got nothing to lose, it's essent

"...if you don’t want to get shot, tased, pepper-sprayed, struck with a baton or thrown to the ground, just do what I tell you." Is this satire? How can anybody hold this viewpoint and not think of themselves as human garbage.

By that logic, Google should only care about their sites working in Chrome? Also, any web developer should be thoroughly embarrassed if their unintentionally have Times on their site. That is an unequivocal "something got fucked up&quo

I strongly disagree with your analogy. Chrome is not a superficially better browser—as a web developer I can attest that Chrome beats out Firefox in myriad ways. Candy has no value other than flavor, and is actually bad for you. The advent

I'm going to keep asking every time a Microsoft website is posted: Why don't they embed their fonts? Indifference? Laziness? Ineptitude? Obviously I don't mean this retro landing page, just click through to any other page of

babby's first scroll-hijacking landing page. In addition to shit usability, the heavy dependency on jQuery plugins is a big clue.

It's silly that all the anti-IE comments are being downvoted. IE8, 9, 10 and 11 are still complete shit and the debug tools are even worse. Microsoft talks a good game about implementing all these standards but I experience bugs regula

by usingpond 12y ago
Microsoft's web developers are pretty notoriously horrendous in both their approach and execution. One common mistake across ALL Microsoft sites is not bothering to embed their fonts, or declare fallbacks. So it looks great on their bo
