Willison has an impressive record for coining terms. But feel like he may have missed it here. In the context, 'engineering' doesn't feel that different to 'coding'. The sloppy sounding part is 'vibe' and that's not been removed.
I hope it works out for Basecamp. It is simply not ok to allow anxious or bitter people to be wearing each other out with political beliefs when they are being paid well to do a job. The twitter parade of martyr complexes is predictable but it is disappointing that so much talent has lost perspective on what professional conduct looks like in a workplace.
Agreed. I find it rather alarming that an influential member of the Chrome team is talking like this. All our e2e test suites are built around Chrome and XPath because of its expanded abilities over CSS
Everyone has a plan right now in the UK parliament. Probably over half of parliament is hoping to push the UK into a 'cancel Brexit' scenario, despite claiming they respect the referendum result. Possibly a third of parliament have given up on the prospect of a reasonable deal with the EU and are holding out for a no-deal WTO exit. A minority are still seeking a last-minute deal that everyone can agree on.
It has always been my belief that a good trade deal between the UK and the EU is only possible if the UK is actually willing to go no-deal WTO first. Simply because the EU never concedes anything in good faith when it comes to negotiations.
Strictly speaking, all liveforms on the planet share same genes because they descended from a common ancestor. You probably have 50% of common genes with plants and quite a few with microorganisms.
it sounds like quite a stretch to say everything shares the same genes. A lot of the genes have come into existence long after distant species split apart, and other genes have disappeared from one specie while continuing in others.
Angular 2 in beta made bold claims about being 'production ready' which reads 'almost done', it was frustrating just how long it then took to become what I would consider production ready.
I consider Angular 4 the first release to produce just about acceptable sized app bundle. On the whole though it's a very ambitious project and I think it will be increasingly hard to ignore, we've currently no intention of changing framework.
I think this had to more to do with internal pressures at Google than the actual state of the code. They had been working on it for a long time, and, I think were under some pressure to actually ship something. Angular v4 is what the first production version should have looked like.
Having just upgraded a large AngularJS v1 project to Angular v4, I'm actually very happy with where it's ended up. It feels like a very good combination of power and flexibility. There are still some complex bits, but it feels more like the complexity is necessary and sanely designed, rather than the craziness of what AngularJS's directive stuff evolved into.
