Could you address this? I rarely trust anything in active development without any test coverage. So maybe I'm missing it somewhere?

In a real corporation this entire group would be replaced based on current and recent past performance. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/leadership/

Such a shame.

EDIT: Not surprised to see people trying to censor my comment as opposed to addressing the dismal leadership that somehow avoids all accountability.

Whereas most other programs, including the Adobe suite, are designed for the more underpowered window systems in osx and windows. That's why it is painful to use in those environments and environments like gnome which follow a similar design philosophy.

It has happened in the past.

Facebook and others have arrived to take significant time away from that product. Then combine that with things like Facebook Video and Instant Articles. Google is in a difficult position where Facebook may be able to start offering up a superior product for content as opposed to the web.

If you want to blame a big corp for AMP, you should probably take a closer look at Facebook as without it Google risks losing a large chunk of its market.

As the other comment stated, please do some research before openly spreading false information. Its very dishonest and in the end leads to great damage for countries.

I get it, its just an expression we use in the industry. Its all good to hear it, but lets maybe stop using it.

Absolutely. It is.

There may be few other options in the current global economic system, but it does not make it any more ethical.

Also, that expectation of time frame and quality level has increased significantly since 1985. The reason that has increased is because the average level software developer in 2017 can do that task quite a bit faster and of higher quality than the average software developer could do in 1985.

The definition of acceptable in any market changes with the pool of options available.

Just like there is an acute shortage of NFL Quarterbacks that are capable of leading a team to a super bowl championship.

The problem with this skills gap myth is that we are looking for people who are better than most of their peers in the industry. The will always be a shortage of top 10% performers in the industry because the top 10% of the industry will always be the same amount.

EDIT: I should just clarify that I'm absolutely in favor of people coming from other countries to work in the US. That said, the H1B in its current form is often just indentured servitude and definitely needs to be adjusted. My statement is specifically addressing the skills gap myth.

That said, this is a great write-up and I'm sure very helpful to those that need to set up a more custom/mission critical development.

It's almost impossible to profit as a shareholder via crowd funding even if the company is wildly successful as it stands currently. Hopefully in the future the markets or legislation will adjust this once that becomes more clear to the general public.
