Prices for AAA+ titles are also ridiculous. Experience went down the toilet, but prices are the same or even higher, something is wrong.
(now it depends on what you want, official title or the feeling of influencing product decisions)
What javascript universe needs right now is not some more of syntactic sugar clusterfuck followed by debugging nightmare, but real tools, static code analysis. I don't want to waste my precious time dealing with closure compiler+scala something combo. It's fun from programmers POV, but still it won't make me pay my bills!
reality check, please
In long run having scalable software is win, but most of businesses will do just fine with unscalable software and good backup strategy, which they would need with ARMs anyways.
Not all businesses need to write scalable software, because their current technology stack is just good enough and will always fit to one beefy machine, but on the other hand it will never fit on one ARM server module.
ps. hardware is cheap, while engineering work isn't

and I start changing 1 to '1', 2 -> '2', then the addon all of sudden suggest me completion of other two cells.It was amazing, too bad this feature did not come back in any of modern IDEs.
I love IntelliJ autocompletion while writing Java code, it increases my productivity so much that I can't imagine coding without it, however it could be better, always:)
Closing note is most important: act immediately and give feedback. Employers usually don't do that, because it would hurt their image of successful interviewer.
It is also possible that people here on HN do not have enough intuition about ideas, which could possibly change the world just like bitcoin is doing it right now. It's fun to read retrospective posts here on HN, but apparently innovation starts elsewhere..
Plugins are not the reason and fortunately it is changing already, because UI/UX feature developers do not want to be jQuery plugin vendors anymore, they want to promote their stuff under their own brand.
> I don’t believe that I’m alone in my opinion. All of my colleagues are very similar. In my 20+ year long career, I’ve only known one person that I suspect would be comfortable with pair programming
So I can easily imagine that he was unlucky during his 20+ year career, because it is not easy to find such group of people especially in Age of Everyone Can Become a Programmer.
I can't imagine writing such code without proper support from IDE like automatic folding and/or special colors.
There is also problem of asynchronous code, events etc. Something that can't be covered with such simple contracts.
PHP will rather never be a bottleneck itself, you can fuck up many other things like data storage. All modern data storage solutions come with PHP interface.
You can find cheap made in volkswagen parts in AUDI cars too.
Even if it was $8/1hr logo no one would care if the final product was good enough.
makes reading harder and does not give anything in return
