I'd seriously consider migrating to bitbucket if this happens.

I tried to use it as replacement for ftp for deployment 14 years ago, in part because I could mount a drive and perform some costly (for a VM at that time) sanity checks on the deployment. It was OK, but too unstable on that kind of connection. Now with jenkins, sonar, docker... CI/CD has become way easier. Also cloud services with a REST API replace pretty much any functionality offered by WebDAV in a simpler, more efficient, more versatile, more interoperable and scalable way, so... Not relevant anymore, I think.

you lost me at not opening our platform to hate speech. Even for an open minded person there must be limits. I keep remembering that quote: "If you open your mind too much, your brain will fall out". They can build their hate internet if they want. With blackjack, and hookers!

This is an open invitation to break programs. It's so cool. I always, compulsively, accept those kind of invitations. I, like most people here, keep breaking eclipse and then rebuilding it to see what happens. Unfortunately the industry often tends to go right the opposite way. That's why they keep sending us off to very expensive trainings and buying licenses on tools we cannot break by ourselves.

This is cool but where are the metrics, examples?

You got it relatively easy: I assume you don't have any good contacts on the business, which is the obvious first choice. You can find clients at upwork or some freelancing site. Prioritize portfolio building and long term projects/recurring clients over one time deals and money. After a trial period, if you are good and trustworthy enough, ditch upwork and start charging them what you are really worth. Obviously don't be a dick and be upfront about your intentions of charging them more when you prove them you are worth it. It is a lengthy process. You need to be reliable and smart, otherwise you will not find good clients and you'll be taken advantage of. I don't want to discourage you but if you aren't good enough yet and you need the money now you'll be better off working at mcdonalds or some other simple teenage job.

hey, hello, hi... have you ever read about em? just set the default size to whatever fits the resolution you are dealing with? viewport? responsive design? web? computer? anything? is this for real?

I have seen a few online videos about a fantastic method that can get you started at 10000 eur/month guaranteed. The sky is the limit.

On top of that you only have to work like 4-6 hours a week, without commuting. You can travel as much as you want. You can stay at home if you want. Stay at home mums and wives and dads and husbands are elegible too, no matter how busy they are taking care of their families! There are no gender, age, religion, race or country of origin requirements. It doesn't matter how you look either. You can be thin or fat, big or small, cute or ugly or totally average. You can be shy or outspoken. No prior education, formal or informal, of any kind is required. It doesn't matter if you speak English as a second language and not too well. You don't need an expensive diploma from a fancy and prestigious University and waste years of your life to get it so you can be accepted and maybe over the years recognized and respected after you spend at least a few years as an intern or entrepreneur or start-up founder or a mix of them in the corporate world. And, by the way, the business model is hand fed to you; you don't really need to come up with it by yourself, although if you have any business ideas you can ensure they'll succeed by themselves and make you rich in days by following this method. If you are a little suspicious don't be. Believe it or not, it's all legit.

So, now you know. You can follow the hard way of making money off the Internet or simply contact [email protected] and we'll get you all set up and started on these few simple tricks right away!!

NO. No way. It's the second time I see this here. The answer is not a hybrid that is neither 2.7 nor 3.0 compliant. That's just a third, useless standard. Let's just please stick to one standard, preferably the most current from the official ones and start porting/rewriting whatever we need until we need the old one no more. Please.

Coding ability wise, elite coders are usually already well above the average professional senior programmer level while still in their teens (emphasis on coding ability wise).

But,

- They are a tiny fraction of the collective. Pretty much everyone else sucks at programming.

- Coding is like working out. Even if you are not elite, you can improve a lot if you persevere. All the way through your entire career, no matter how long.

- It is not all about coding skills. Maybe for those 40k LOC one-man app guys it is, but that's not even the most common scenario anymore. You can compensate with other skills such as being inspirational, having good insights, ability to QA a product/design and identify its weak spots and potential on the early stages, ability to break down a problem into smaller ones and prioritize your tasks, ability to evaluate, understand and communicate with team mates and clients (social skills with coding skills is always a winning combination)... The list goes on and on. Even though it's not all related to programming, it is stuff you'll eventually have to deal with as a professional programmer, specially in the startup world.

Code is reusable. You don't have to be a genius coder to put together a slick and successful app. Even for the most innovative software, the code of every part is most likely already there, written by experts in a clean, efficient, robust and well-documented module you can use free of charge, even commercially. So go on and use it. (I know it's actually not that easy, but mostly piles of crap until you find something useful and learn to use it properly. You get better at that too).
