Re:It’s OK to Still Use Angular 1 in 2017 on Monday June 05, 2017 @02:40PM (#14490130)
It is still supported. What's more new versions are coming. Some people says it will be just like with Python 3 - a lot of people still using python 2.
I would not care too much about performance in the context of linking and evaulating css for modern browsers. It has small if any impact. If it is better for maintainability - than it is good way to go.
Choose technologies you are the most comfortable with. I would go with MEAN stack.
I know many really great Indnian developers. I know even more really bad Indnian developers.

I have an impression that there is huge social pressure in India to become a developer. What makes sense is because it is a good profession.

Because many of these developers have too little capacities to become a programmer, hence, there may be a stereotype of poor programmers from India.

You might try life of digital nomad. You can work from everywhere in tech industry now. And staying in some new place for several weeks might the best way get to know country culture and people. This way you will feel more like a local, not a tourist.
This is awesome. I'll give it a shot in my some of my next projects.
Thanks man. That was good

I would use NodeJS for MVP. I think it is super important that you can have backend + frontend in the same technology.

Re:Why Recorded/Playback Tests in Selenium Break on Tuesday April 18, 2017 @12:51PM (#14140429)
Few more thoughts from me:

* Don't treat your test code as second class citizen. For tests follow the same clean code principles you are following for your app code.

* I saw many dirty workarounds for selenium tests that didn't behave as expected. In major count of it happens due to lack of understanding selenium / test framework API. So read the docs. If something doesn't work - read the docs again ;)

* Don't test everything with selenium E2E tests. Test this way just most crucial scenarios. Leave more detailed stuff to unit tests.

Re:Why Recorded/Playback Tests in Selenium Break on Tuesday April 18, 2017 @09:04AM (#14138446)
I was dealing with Selenium tests a lot. I noticed developers are often skeptical about these tests saying it is not reliable. I do not agree with that, I have proven in several projects that you can have stable and reliable selenium tests. Just like any other tests, it requires proper test environment and continuous maintenance. The most common mistake I noticed is using `browser.sleep` instead of `wait.until`

GraphQL might not be the new standard for web, but for sure it has great influence on how we are seeing future of client-server communication.

Seems that startups are paying above average if you check some stats:

The best jobs positions often do not allow for remote.

Re:Curl is C on Monday March 27, 2017 @11:22AM (#13968443)
C has still huge market share. Seems that it occurs in 5% of all tech job offers:

https://jobsquery.it/stats/data.technologies/C

Stats also showing that average salary for C developers is above average for all tech job openings.

I think the best indicator will be the frequency of occurrence of technology / language in job offers.

Re:JavaScript vs. Python in 2017 on Friday March 24, 2017 @11:55AM (#13949758)
In terms of popularity Javascript clearly wins. According to stats:

https://jobsquery.it/stats/language/group

JavaScript is mentioned in 17% of all tech job offers VS 10% for Python.

However in terms of average salary - Python is the winner. Average salary for Python openings is $117k annually VS $96k for Javascript.
