Developer tools: Twilio, Heroku Consumer software: TurboTax I know that TurboTax is a controversial choice because they are incentivized to fight to keep tax law complicated, but if we ignore the political context,…
I love the detail-oriented approach to this. Tracking jQuery usage and slowly removing components from their custom jQuery library are both really clever strategies.
If you're an early-stage startup that's still determining product-market fit, then it's completely fair to eschew tests and accumulate tech debt; you're at a higher risk of running out of runway before you've even…
Late to this thread, but I loved this article because it put something into perspective for me... my New England boarding school had a swimming requirement, and was proud of its longstanding tradition of requiring all…
I just want to remind folks that there are, in fact, organizations for whom the open plan actually works. I've spent the last few years practicing XP, on a collaborative team that includes PM, UX, QA, and devs, and we…
I'm very confused... "Errors discovered through Instabug are most likely to be resolved within 24 hours of being reported" is one of the TL;DR points, but only ~1.5% of bugs are resolved within 24 hours.
Your comment implied that the author doesn't address this in depth in the article. Your article flippantly compares this to people finding random correlations, which is so far from the content of the article that I'd…
Very interesting article, but I was disappointed that the article stated that the millenial only-children of China are "outspoken", "pampered", or "self-centered". I don't believe that any of those terms apply to people…
The update is far more delicious than the original: http://www.askamanager.org/2016/07/a-coworker-stole-my-spicy... I'm not sure that the original advice given was ideal. I'd recommend consulting with a lawyer first…
I want Spotify to do well, but the reason I'm cautious is the lack of true differentiation. Spotify has a great platform, but I'd worry about the level of control that the labels and artists have over their catalog, and…
> Google’s core DNA is search and engineering, though some would say engineering that is driven by the economics of search, which makes it hard for the company to see the world through any other lens. I would nitpick…
Glad I wasn't the only one who immediately thought of searching Google Ngram. Unfortunately, if you dig into the source material, there's a lot of non-journalism usages of lede (and in the case you brought up, there…
I still remember this comic strip 16 years after I saw it in the paper.
Here's the article from a more reputable, less "doomsday prepper" source: https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/environment/climat...
The school, which has taught approximately 1,000 students, charges students between $12,000 and $15,000 for a 12 to 16 week in-person class and approximately $1,500 a month for online coding classes. Let's assume a very…
The number one reason I've seen is for things that need visibility during the work day. For example, if my girlfriend needs to email me something I need to take action on during the work day, she knows to email my work…
I'm surprised this isn't higher up, that's what confused me. How can they report a new discovery while simultaneously testing a new measuring device? There's a lot about the article that smells bad.
Interesting discussion. Thanks for posting. As I've gotten to learn many different languages (PHP, Ruby, Go, Java, Python, etc) over the last 10 years, it has been really interesting to see how different languages and…
This guy is 25 and all "woe-is-me" about this incredibly productive life he's lived so far? Jeez. I'm not taking away from the difficulties of living with a felony record in the United States; the system is rigged…
Will Trump wait to give a statement and see how the public responds, before taking action on the proverbial "3am phone call"? I think not. I might not like Hillary, but it's an absolute joke that Adams thinks that Trump…
My biggest beef with manual QA is that at most places I've worked for or worked with as a consultant (~15 companies), the QA team either doesn't have the skills necessary or doesn't care enough to understand the system…
MVPs? Absolutely. Just because it's the first iteration doesn't mean it's not important to test that everything in that first iteration works. Hobby projects? Less so, particularly if it's just me writing software.…
Are you really going to ditch StatusPage that quickly? I'm not a huge Atlassian fan myself, but StatusPage is a great tool.
One of these things is not like the others.
