We use YAML, now JSON, for some of our flexibly defined data. Porting it to JSONB in Rails was filled with some interesting lessons.

A bit of an over the top title, but (disclaimer: I work at Karat) the main thesis is really interesting. Essentially, it's cool to be part of a new specialty (hiring) being born out of an industry I've worked in for a little while

Google (as I've experienced it) is filled with normal, generally friendly folks. A few small jokes, but no cultural ousting. While I don't work in search (big company, many products), even the folks I know there recognize we need

I also do this, but that's because I work at Google and got tired of explaining to coworkers why I don't usually like the results from our search engine! Also, "I duckduckgoed that" doesn't roll off of the tongue ve

Tagging TODOs is really useful. I can always look at source control, but that's more effort than seeing a name or bug number. At Google our linters are actually configured to create errors for any TODO/FIXME that isn't immedi

This is an awesome question. What sort of responses have you seen from this? Do most folks have a quick answer or do you get some thought? As an interviewer, I'm not sure I would ever expect a question like this.

Ah I thought I had seen this before.

I think the real place this device will shine is in "homely" environments: kitchens (music and getting questions answered while you cook?), study areas for your kids, maybe even hobby rooms. It's definitely a bit on the steep

I just started toying around with them recently, and I have the same feelings as you. In general, it seems like Derby's choice of using straight up npm makes it a bit more inter-orperable. Other than that I haven't dived in far enough.

My first brush with Node was in a class. We chose to try it for a game only about 5 months after Node's initial release. It was cool and fun to work with but ultimately a bit rough. After a year's break, I can now say I love Node. I'm gl

It took me a few paragraphs to gather that, but this just means it was really well done. I appreciated the "PS" components especially. I think they made the parody aspect most clear (other than the pop culture references).

What I like best about this post is the underlying message you can almost miss. Yeah the hackathons are important; we should save them; software engineers need a place to get collaborative together; and making "simply pretty" apps isn't al

I like it quite a bit, and I think it's a bit better than the other options (a few of which I've tried). My only question remaining is why can't the others be updated and improved? Maybe someone with a bit more knowledge of the "culture a

I was just looking for something like this. The breadth of uses for pixel art is great to see in this piece, especially when favicons came up right after the gaming tutorials. I'm no artist, but this stuff looks fun.

This is refreshing. The value of print gets lost too often, but here it finds a very nice home. I'm impressed with the process to create the actual print book with so many vendors in it. I expect there is a market for auto-generating mag

That was refreshing. It's good to remember the good points of anything, especially something we may not like. This lesson applies very well to the computing industry's rapid advancement and tendency to outdate technology.

Wow that was informative. I appreciated the author's responsibility the most. Rather than make this a daring adventure or fanciful notion, Nielsen approached the activity with a genuine interest in creating something awesome, not just fro

This is good to see some better abstraction for non-experts. While I much prefer the command line interface, guis are a phenomenal way to introduce someone to the "better way". Now we just need good guis!

Having just finished a general AI course, this was fascinating and a great example of why to be careful with automation.

Now this is a very good thing. Any effort is at least a start, and they can't really make their relationship any worse.

Awesome! I'll have to pour over this as my summer project before the actual class next fall. Thanks!

I once liked his work (Foundation mostly), but I have a newfound level of sheer awe knowing he held a Ph.D. Best author on my shelf, maybe.

As a As a current student in Abstract Algebra, this was really refreshingly simple to look at . Thanks fro a greatly simplified teaser to show other people!

While I'm new to the discussion, I agree with you spitfire. But at least this is a step towards something simpler. The current file structure for most distributions is downright confusing to even moderately competent users.
