Garbageon Why I moved from Angular to React

My experience with Angular has been very different. I never felt pain working with Angular. Most of the issues I saw, boiled down to bad code. And I think those issues would still be there irrespective of framework used.

I also don't get why two way binding is difficult to reason about. Can somebody please give me an example?

Garbageon Years and lessons working at ThoughtWorks

Well, traveling really depends on project. But you can actually ask for non-travel project.

I would recommend talking to the recruiter and let them know your preferences before declining.

Garbageon Years and lessons working at ThoughtWorks

With having some products, ThoughtWorks does consulting and custom software development (services) as well.

ThoughtWorks has developed Mingle - a project management tool, Go - a continuous delivery tool, Snap - a continuous delivery tool on cloud, Gauge - test automation tool. But you can also hire ThoughtWorks for consulting on agile organization transformation, programming practices, etc. If you are looking for teams to help you develop custom software with these practices, ThoughtWorks can help you with that as well.

Garbageon United Airlines Bug Bounty: An experience in reporting a serious vulnerability

Well, having worked on applications like this, I think it's not totally unreasonable. Of course, could it have been done earlier? Yes. But the backend systems of such applications are usually so complicated and with ripple effects through layers that it takes quite a lot of planning to get it right.

I am not saying delaying a critical vulnerability patch for 6 months is right, but I think airline systems will typically need that much time to plan it well.

Sorry, I fail to see the relation with the article. Can you please elaborate?

Garbageon Ewww, You Use PHP? [2010]

Recently I worked on a PHP project for a month. And heard same "ewwww" reactions from people. And even though I was skeptical about PHP, I must say it was fun. It wasn't the same PHP I used 6 years back. PHP has come a long way since. Frameworks like Symfony (Rails equivalent) is just amazing to work with.

In total, I think people should give PHP another try. It's worth it.

Garbageon IntelliJ IDEA 14 Released

Been using EAP for quite some time now. Really impressed.

Congratulations Jetbrains. Keep it coming. :)

Garbageon Introducing Carrot

I don't know if you have tried PHP recently, but with the frameworks like Symfony2, it's much more robust and feels natural to code into. I think you should give it another try. :)

Garbageon Write every day

Garbageon Postman: a powerful HTTP client (for Chrome) to test web services

I am surprised how many people didn't know about Postman.

It's an amazing tool. I have been using it almost daily since long back.

Garbageon Why we love Scala at Coursera

I partially agree to you.

I have been using Scala as primary programming language for more than a year. I have been using Java for almost 5 years before that.

Yes, the learning curve for Scala is a bit high, but once I "got it", I felt much more productive to cover for the time I lost learning new language.

Garbageon Scala is Not Java Glue

I have personally found IntelliJ's Scala support quite good. Of course it's not as good as Java, but it's good. I am using EAP release BTW.

Garbageon Patent Troll Lodsys Settles for Nothing to Avoid Trial

It's one of those rare times, when I feel great that I am living in India. ;)

Garbageon A Tale of Two Interviews, Part 1

More than IDE, it's about the code you are doing. If you aren't comfortable with the IDE other person is using, I think you should request to change it and that person should allow.

Garbageon Packets of Death

Author mentioned a custom package generator tool "Ostinato". I met the author of this tool 2-3 months back. A lone guy working on this tool as a side project. Amazing work. :)
