Hundreds even!

2 letters are different.

It would be, but here we are comparing a clear “underdog” with one of the most prospering economies in the world, and the underdog won.

They have 1 billion people, they are a market who can do whatever they like, in their own right.

“App not available in your region” .. <insert “keep your secrets” meme>

Windows or Linux?

Short or long term role? Full time? How senior are you? What tech stack are they using?

California is on a roll this week, it seems. Can someone local explain what’s going on?

I tried to use To Do this summer and gave up after a few weeks. Across Windows and iOS: notifications mostly don’t fire, apps kept reloading content every time I opened them (aka no cloud = no functionality). In the end, I gave up and just resumed using a combo of Reminders and Notes.

What is up with these names? For a moment I felt either dyslexic or like I’m experiencing a stroke.

What sort of role? Local or remote?

I think the article misses the point: are we now in an era where you actually expect to get stock when you join a company?

As a former Toptal employee: IMHO the co-founder in question was widely regarded as a horrible manager, often pushing people to burnout and generally imposing a culture of secrecy and mistrust. The VPs they ousted were nothing better. I personally went through several burnouts while there, but also that was a springboard to a much better career afterwards. Yes, we've put in 9/9/6 for years in the founding years, but we were also compensated quite generously.

Yes!

But you get the benefit of pushing updates quicker. Is the app going to run on low-end PCs, are computer resources such a big issue? We ran our web-based ERP on 4gb machines with little SW optimisation without any hiccups.

Does it need to be a desktop app? Why not go the web based approach?

Didn’t Atlassian invest in Slack?

+ Airtable will get you a long way.

One of the great features of Mailchimp (for us) is the seamless integration with Mandrill. Our Designer creates templates, pushes them to Mandrill and they are immediately used in production when we send out notifications.

I’ve been holding off from React for a long time, but also after reading the “boring technology”, I came to realize React is in fact - here to stay.

For sure, but it was pretty slow (every page reload took ages) and with WSL it is much faster.

I recently switched to Windows after 10 years of Macs, because I didn’t fee like forking out €3k for a decent 15” laptop. I switched to a Razer (€1700) which can actually game + with WSL I can actually do Rails development. After a month of using this machine, my carpal tunnel pains dropped off significantly (in part because I ditched the Magic Mouse for a Logitech MX) and my fingers don’t swell or hurt from bashing a non-existant keyboard on the MBP. So to me when it comes to computers, Apple is dead.

This weirdly resembles recent updates to the LinkedIn UI, and feels like it's heading towards some sort of MS web-property unification. Not saying it's a bad thing, just observing.

But that's teaching a new generation of coders a set of tools designed only for Apple. Ruby (Python etc) are open and easily available on other platforms, Swift may be in the future but it isn't now.

Sounds like the slogans they put on Police cars.

The market for JavaScript developers is absolutely booming with no signs of slowing down. I mention JS, only because you mention websites. But in reality, the demand for skilled freelance developers of all skillsets is in rise.

I keep seeing more and more of these “UX” tips that are completely braindead ideas.

Don’t all companies become IBM at some point?

How much would you pay for the product?
