I think we instead do the same amount of labor, but accomplish more.

Says quite a lot more about American police, I'd say.

Had the same experience working a consulting job one time. Awful, dirty rows of terrible monitors and keyboards, fluorescent lighting, chintzy chairs.

Hotdesking sends to me the pretty degrading message that people are entirely fungible (probably also called "resources" at these places). I'm opposed to it.

And yes, everyone just sat in the same spot everyday.

My CS degree program required an ethics course. It was an immense waste of time.

Users and revenue.

User and revenue growth rate.

One bad sign is if the CEO is replaced. Another bad sign is if the company can't figure out how to make money.

Segwit and Lightning Network; agility of Litecoin to evolve and advance. These are the reasons LTC is moving now.

Infragistics is a bespoke software dev shop that does mostly Microsofty line of business web stuff. SharePoint, ASP.Net, Silverlight, SSRS/SSIS, etc.

I think they sell to big companies who are Microsoft vendor-locked (probably also Microsoft itself).

Ignite UI is a component library, like Telerik UI.

Very similar to Telerik.

We reconstruct history from timestamps in Slack and our logging and monitoring systems.

I prefer dipping my sushi in wasabi mixed with soy sauce and I don't care how anybody else things I should eat it.

I would love to read a blog post about why they thought it was impossible and maybe walking through the implementation.

Just tried Yik Yak after reading this. In SF's FiDi, appears to be mostly dudes looking for gay hookups. Am I doing it wrong?

Okay, but that kind of polymorphism is actually a replacement for conditional logic, e.g. switch on type antipattern.

People hate conditionals. People hate polymorphism.

Everybody is wrong about everything pretty much all of the time, it appears.

You are delusional and incredibly vain.

This is satire, right?

This reminds me of Nike branding, which is very powerful.

How is this useful? I can edit colors, border radius, box shadow, line height, font, positioning, and alignment in real time on a real HTML mockup using Firebug, webkit developer tools, even the Internet Explorer F12 tools.

Web design mockups that include these things should be done in HTML and CSS. WYSIWYG editors are crippling for professionals and poison for amateurs.
