How do i develop an eye for detail?
I am a fairly new developer with couple years of experience. One of the things I struggle is that i am not very detail oriented. I see senior developer pointing out to small intricate mistakes/opinion which I have missed. On the other hand, I see some senior developers who are great programmers but they lack the eye for detail. How can I develop a sharp eye for details? These are the things...
On the other hand, I really hate their blog design. The reading space is less than half the screen. https://cl.ly/0h2z471o0v2W
Btw pretty excited about the visual studio for mac as current visual studio code user and a huge typescript fan.
On a more serious note, I have a few workflow problems which will definitely make me shell out few bucks if there is a polished product.
In fact, i have more than a few. I'll give you one example. There should be a really nice cross-platform diff viewer for people who use git from the command line. My reasoning for that is that i like using the command line for git because it is way faster than GUI, but i always end up using the terminal for viewing diffs and stashes.
Now i'm hungry
You gotta do you fucking time. Best Advice Ever!
They since passed the acquisition offer, they have only few two choices left go under or reinvent themselves just like few of the other social networks are doing like myspace. Venture money doesnt really proves a point that a business is healthy so i am not sure Path will be a money making business in the future.
What i really like is a location based social network where i can socialize with people i don't really know, or maybe a interest based social network. i will go with the former. The point is they HAVE to reinvent themselves before this VC money goes out.
I know its an ignorant statement, but can anybody explain it to me.
On a comparative note, the product is actually not so good(maybe because of the sacle they are operating on). They have problems with their backend, few of the front end apps are not so good eg blackberry but increasing number of users is an achievement which is the scary part for facebook. I am in Pakistan. This is a place where most people don't use credit cards on the internet, sms packages are dirt cheap like $1/month for unlimited texting, and we have no 3G internet(only EDGE) but still majority of the people use whatsapp. Almost everybody i know uses whatsapp and they have been using for more than a year. One you get hooked on whatsapp people are forced to pay.
Whatsapp has a lot of potential to challenge facebook to a certain extend. They introduced profile pictures a while back, and the 'last seen at' update is like a gold. Ramp up whatsapp with a few BBM like features, extensive photo sharing, and geo location features(anonymously chat with people near you) and they can be a worthwhile competitor.
Ask HN: Paid blogging engine like Experssion Engine instead of free Wordpress?
I have not used Expression Engine, but i am so confused that even though most quality CMSs and blogging engines are free yet expression engine, and many other paid CMSs and blogging engines, have a market. Why is that?
Ask HN: I have 4 months and i need to earn $2000?
I know this is not the right way to figure out stuff but i guess HN can give a little advice over here. I know basic html/css, i can covert a pdf into html if given 7-8 hours..apart from that i have no skill. I am learning javascript right now. I have a big day coming in the start of May 2012, and i need to have around $2000 before that...what's the most appropriate path i should follow to...
