I like mayo but pretty much all shelf mayo is made with oils that are bad for you. Even some brands which claim to use olive oil primarily use another oil with olive oil further down the ingredient list.

I wonder how Facebook would feel if all the open source software they currently use incorporated the same license. I bet it would deter them from enjoying much of the code they built their business on. This stance seems pretty antithetical to the goal and spirit of open source software and I really hope it's not the beginning of other companies following suit and 'poisoning' the well of other open source projects.

I don't understand the value of this over simply building a mini ITX system for cheaper and equal/greater performance? The only advantage this has is being able stay portable with the external GPU but $500 just for a dock is insane.

There's some decent questions here, but also too many "how to" questions that most people won't bother memorizing since they take 2 seconds to google.

This reeks of forcing a parent's goals and ideals onto their children which in the situations I've seen tend to never end that well. Encouraging them to do what their genuinely interested in I think would probably lead to much happier lives.

Whether "millennial hipster game developers" are actually lazy or not seems to be besides the point. Hasn't it already been consistently proven that working more than 45 hours is much less productive than a steady 40-45 hour work week? What's the actual business justification for that besides massaging egos or trying to enforce some masochistic culture?

Wow never knew. That's a pretty huge barrier that more people should know about.....

CALM and CRDTs are interesting stuff.

That being said, I feel like the author is confusing a bit the specific implementations of modern APIs vs the concept of an API which I see as simply some (somewhat standardized) interface to a system which you don't own. Those seem like two different problem domains to me, but perhaps I'm arguing over a different definition of APIs than from what the author is talking about....

I find it curious how people who are as smart and technical as programmers are, can come up with testing/interview methodologies that so clearly deviate from the actual day to day activities of what that position will probably require.

There's definitely value in asking a candidate questions face to face as there are times when problems need to be discussed, but clearly there's a non-trivial segment of the programmer population that has trouble performing under this type of atypical situation.

Why not also have a sort of "written test" portion of an interview where the candidate doesn't have to stress out about performing in front of people they don't know? It would certainly help reduce the flagging of false negatives.

EDIT: by "written test" I mean something like a test where the questions are on a piece of paper or text file, and the interviewee just answers it on there, without another human sitting there and staring at them. The interviewee can always be asked to explain his/her answers afterwards.

You missed another benefit towards API first development: it makes it much easier to get a head start on mobile development as you can reuse many of your endpoints for common operations.

I think you're mostly on the point, but unless you have serious inside knowledge, I don't know if you can really assume PRISM is about national security and not about other nefarious purposes.
