Why are you even commenting? And it's Railway not raleway.

Software Engineering bootcamps are probably the best cost/benefits ratio programs that exist. There is a reason why that is, this isn't a walk in the park.

Should you be paid equal to someone coming out of uni? I don't think so, the ramp-up will be hard and longer for the bootcamps guys, but this will change as you gain experience, after 5 years the difference in pay should be negligible if you properly ramp up!

What I don't like about this kind of articles is the one-sided way they explain things. I would have like he investigate how the tech lead role could also be improved.

I think you voiced the deadlock issue pretty well.

I think you are missing the point,

Of course you can do that but you enter another level of negotiation because you are quitting and it might not even count toward the budget at this point. I would not recommend doing that every year as a negotiation tactic either.

I tend to agree with Redwards, and unless you are working in a small company if you do your job correctly it becomes more a political game than anything else.

I'm surprised so many people only send to 1 Email Service. These services sometimes go down, sometimes slow down, having 2 active account and having an easy way to switch in between (read even automatic) should be an applied best practice.

I must say I agree,

I'm surprised OP is not aware that's the kind of sending that can raise a lot of red flags, before doing something like this on a new account I would have contacted support to make them aware of this situation.

Specially on smaller senders, reputation is everything.

I think delivering messages 3 times a day is the wrong approach. There is a need for synchronous communications, it just should not be chat channels you are connected to all day long.

One preferable idea would be to use notification channels that would reduce significantly the noise you receive from your pairs. I speak at length about the idea here: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/channels-best-way-handle-inte...

Yeah we thought about that, but is it reliable? We were really not sure we could always get rid of the cold start issue.

It's funny we tested lambda + Amazon gateway api this week at work.

It's awesome!.. Until you have to deal with the cold start issue. Our first call takes about 1.5 seconds; and then all other calls take about 50-80ms.

Your container stays in cache about 5-10 minutes unless it is called back, there are no guarantees.

This micro service is not called often and for us 1.5 seconds is never acceptable.

You seems to only think about consumer apps, there is a lot of companies doing b2b. I agree that for games cordova is a very poor choice.

Unfortunately I can't agree that you can easily find easily good IOS & Android devs, I'm sure that some that can do it out there, but generally one platform always suffers more.

Has for Cordova issues, from my experience, nothing was so atrocious that writing 2 apps would have been faster.

"Either you use frameworks and everything is just bad or use vanilla JS and everything might work"

I think you might be thinking about games saying that, again I can't agree, if you don't understand what your framework does in your back that's another thing, but you can easily write optimized code when you control your render.

For example Ionic is a very good mobile UI framework for angular. It however wont save you if you start adding random things to the DOM while doing an animation.

I think it is also a question of ressources, I built a pretty good backbone app with cordova, I would say that you can get 90% there (https://www.cakemail.com/mobile).

The question is also what can you afford. Can you afford to have 2 ios & 2 android devs? Can you afford to build 2 times all the UI features, etc.

For a small company, small budgets, if you have strong front-end devs & designers you are probably going to get a good cordova app & you can move your company much faster.

You have big bugdets? Hire the native devs, get the 100% performance & experience from native.

Nice use of open data, I can see this very handy when you are looking for an apartment or a house. The baltimore crime map is also very interesting.

I hope Angular never become the "futur" of front-end. I pride myself making reusable, simple, opmised, clean code for entreprisey apps. Some frameworks fit well in this mentality.

Angular does not. It's an awkward black box.

I can open the source code of backbone & understand everything it's doing. Using a simpler stack makes the code more timeless, any competent js dev is able to continue my work. Pretty sure you can't say the same with your angular app.

Yadi yada is dead..

I also think web designer should have a basic understanding of css & html,

but too many time I saw average web dev saying no to a designer because, well they did not care or did not know how to do it. If you start limiting yourself you limit what the designer can create.

Another thing is now there are tools to make PSD to HTML much faster like CSSHAT that provide you with the exact CSS for each element of your design.

Also, designing in photoshop make design iterations much faster. By the time you design directly into html&css a design I could have iterated 2 times & have a much better end product.

I'm not saying Photoshop is the tool for web design, there is place to be taken there, but tools like photoshop & sketch makes design works go much faster.

The article pretty much represent what I think too.

Why jQuery is so much used even today? It's in big part because of the very low level of entry.

Grunt for most teams is a config file that manage front-end builds, you go at the end of the file you have all the tasks available for that project.

It's easy to understand & it's solid.

Is there a place for gulp? Probably, node.js dev teams will love it, but in teams that are more traditional I think grunt will win.

Your wrong on how maternity leaves work, at least in Canada. Employers do not pay for the maternity, they just can't fire you (& you don't have to take the leave, lol like they force you to do that...)

It's the society (government) that pays for leaves. In canada it looks like this: the parental benefit is 7 weeks at 70%, followed by 25 weeks at 55% from salary on a maximum of 50-60k salary

For me what you say is backwards, but I guess you are right, there is clearly no gain in life for a mother to take the time she need to adapt & connect with her children for a year.

Then again it is the poors that suffer that cannot in anyway take some time off from work. Or maybe it is the argument that you should not pay for others.

I guess you can keep being skeptical

It absolutely is in android 4.2. After that it depends on the android version.

My app have perfect smooth transitions in the chrome browser. yet in the phonegap webview animations are slower & I have rendering bugs I never saw in chrome.

Can't find direct sources right now, but it's fixed in android 4.4, you get chrome

While phonegap is a bridge between a lot of functionalities, not all features has been created equals.

The app is only has good has the html5 app behind it. On android it's tricky, we just did a test run for our mobile app & we have weird issues with a lot is samsung phones while other phones perform perfectly.

We also decided to remove animations on android for all phones below android 4.2 because the browser was to slow to handle them perfectly.

Well, I saw some people creating the certificate with openssl on windows, you should in theory be able to use this for device testing
