AMP is not about fast websites, better user experience for either users or publishers, nor a trusted platform. It's about google hosting your site and capturing data from it. It's a shitty idea and i can't understand why peop

this was beautiful: Every step in a software project is solving problems. You don't know how long it will take to solve the problem. You don't know how many new problems you might run into along the way.

I like the idea of a tool like this, but I'm not sure it's a better process than having migration scripts. And I dislike migration scripts. To me, the perfect process would be, using an MVC web framework as an example, to generate

Like it or not, that enforces the beauty of GPL. I'm positively sure, if it wasn't it, linux wouldn't be in its position today. I actually prefer the LGPL, as it doesnt spread through, or "contaminate", the rest of

I've asked myself that many times before and I'd say it's because it's not an easy task and often you need to get things done to meet deadlines, instead of developing a general solution, that although could save time in

Regarding the last point, yes, that's what I'm saying. And it's not a matter of opinion, but of decades of computer engineering best practices. Your app's UX will depend on how much code runs on the client. It can vary f

Why use GraphQL? Why not simply expose one endpoint that takes a sql data parameter, queries the db and return the result set as json? Yes, you'd have to setup db security to allow those db commands to run only selects and restrict whi

Hype and lack of critical thinking abolutely had their role, but mostly because it's so much easier than a relational db. Relational db's are hard. You have schemas and query planners and the truth is, you have to take care of eve

GitLab's CI runs on every branch push, which I dislike, since you can push a branch that isn't ready yet for backup purposes. Although, it can be configured to automatically deploy only to staging, while having production deployme

I love it! I owned an Atrix with a lapdock, which was the first device to embrace this concept. Unfortunately, it was poorly handled by Motorola in the sense that you had to hack it to enable a full linux desktop, instead of what was basica

Build tests against your app`s public interface. On a web app, that would be your controllers or API. That will give you good coverage, while avoiding too simple to be useful unit tests. It's really hard to foresee all possible input v

I've said it before here, but the best web app I've built was basically Django, with bare minimum js to handle in-page effects. I've been working on a project which is being ported to React for no reason, just because it&#x27

I've been a web developer for 15 years now. Building the UI is always hard and where the waste of time is felt the most. That's why i prefer to work on the backend as much as i can. I'm against the front x back end split. I t

Amen! React might be the best tool for building hybrid mobile or even cross platform electron apps, but the truth is, it suck balls for web development. Bundling the entire website inside a single js file, that needs to be re-downloaded ev

...but the end result is just cover fire. The competition has no choice but to spend all their time porting and keeping up, time that they can't spend writing new features. Look closely at the software landscape. The companies that do
