Author here! I was actually working on that this evening when someone posted it. The readme's got some updates :)

Maybe I'm in a minority, but I've never read a programming book that didn't have me writing and testing out code in my console while I read.

Also, the kinds of things I tried out on my own while reading were unique and new. Not the kind of things I would necessarily run into in my job.

Doing is one thing, but if I just keep doing with my current knowledge then it's easy to fall into a situation where improvement is minuscule.

me neither, but a bug I've only seen on my Nexus 5 is that my timestamps on recent hangouts messages say "now" for hours. This is a problem if I mix hangouts and SMS because SMS runs on a normal timestamp, so essentially all of my texts appear above my hangouts. For a while it just seemed like my texts weren't actually coming in at all.

And you don't have to be at the top 1% of your field to be a valuable asset to a company.

Charles Partain from your team looks like he's seen some shit.

I believe it's to be released later this year. If you're learning front end frameworks thought 1.x still isn't a bad bet. Angular2 is going to be dramatically different, and because of that, they are going to maintain 1.x for quite some time after 2 is released.

Also, the job market for Angular developers is high, and a lot of those companies wont be migrating instantly. If you're looking to get into the field 1.x isn't a bad bet.

You'll have to learn Angular2 someday, but then again, the life of a front end developer is constantly learning new frameworks / technologies.

This is great for user experience on mobile web apps. Not ever app needs to be mobile, but convincing the user to save it to their home screen is no small task.

This will definitely augment UX for mobile devices.

The trouble comes when companies pay remote employees less if their cost of living is lower, or when they move to another place so they can pay people less. HP did that when they moved to Boise, ID.

RepDrive is a really awesome place to work! I had a great time there.

I can't disagree more. I wouldn't call high school an 'outlet to try new things'. If she learns to be a developer by the age of 18 how is she tied down from doing anything else? I would say that self discovery is amplified outside of a high school environment not stifled.

I also think networking and making friends is also augmented outside of high school.

Small consistent effort generates massive change. Emphasis on consistent.

He also wrote The Cathedral and the Bazaar if I'm not mistaken. If that can balance it all out.

IDK, I think people tend to ignore the virtues of Wikipedia's design. It's actually really well thought out. It may not be pretty, or hip, but as far as utility goes it's hard to find a site that can beat it.

Think about how people use Wikipedia: scanning for one specific bit of information. Normal users see 90% of the information on the page as un-useful, why should meta info matter.

Overall, I think their biggest virtue is consistency, even though it's changed over the years, a user generally knows where to find what she's looking for. That's the purpose of good design, is it not?
