Staggeringly bad article.

Inspired by the incredible work that Jennifer Dewalt completed last year, in which she taught herself programming by building 180 web sites in 180 days, I felt compelled to try a similar tactic: working on my side projects every single day. "I realized that the feeling of making progress is just as important as making actual progress"

THAT'S AWESOME!
At first I thought "oh great, another 'indie game dev' changing their sprites every week" then I read "...had zero experience developing games" and became impressed.

When I read his intro, all I could think about was the lyrics to Killing me softly[^]. I have been struggling with the exact same issues, trying to provide some level of development support for the guys at my previous job by doing work at nights and weekends.
I might try a similar strategy (Yes, I know Yoda. Get out of my head.  ), but I need a couple of things in my life to settle down first.

Guys I have a question. How are you getting time to write a new code everyday. I spend most of my time in front of computer doing office work (almost 8.5 hrs). After that around 2 hrs to spend with family and another 3 hrs journey time. How are you guys getting time to write new code

8.5 (work) + 2 (family) + 3 (journey) = 13.5
24 - 13.5 = 10.5
I'll give you 8 for sleep and you still have 2.5 left over.
I have just created an amazing plan for your life.
Now, to get some more time. MOve next door to your office -- or into the same building.
I feel for you on the commute time, because I used to have about 2.5 - 3 hours spent in that too, but moved closer and now only 15 minutes. W00t!
Also, none of us that responded to this have lives. Right!

Tip: Have all you need in a space where you can sit down and start coding. Then you can do a lot more in less time. Also, we are talking about changing the mindset to creating small programs which do functionality and nothing more.
Just for empirical learning. Experience is the real thing.

Thanks for the tip. However there are many things going on in the mind even when I'm not in office. Basically I do production support work. So providing resolution is highest priority. If I leave office without solving an issue then it will be issue that has occupied my brain. 
That's the reason I would like to know how come many of them have time to do things other that job

The German software developer who introduced a security flaw into an encryption protocol used by millions of websites globally says he did not insert it deliberately as some have suggested. "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone"

I feel bad for the guy, he was just volunteering his time to help out on an important project and ended up creating Webcryptogeddon. Mistakes happen.
The real problem is the review process, or lack thereof. Critical components like that should be reviewed up, down, and sideways; someone should have caught that before it went live.
"I missed validating a variable containing a length." Let's get real, it could have happened to anyone.

Thank you, I'll see if I can fix it.

Was thinking about this too. Just having many eyes is useless, without any development processes all those eyes are definitely not going to get you 100% coverage of the code base.

Many eyes don't get you much if they aren't looking for the right things or trained & dedicated. The link you provided doesn't exactly support the notion of "many eyes" but rather a few well-trained, dedicated, in-depth reviewers.

I feel sorry for the dev, who wrote that. I guess they wont hire him for writing anything anymore

Netjs is a .NET to TypeScript and JavaScript compiler. It uses multiple stages to produce JavaScript for your web apps. "If I had a hammer I'd hammer in the morning, I'd hammer in the evening all over this land"

What the heck is TypeScript?
Otherwise, that's pretty cool. I've been exploring the idea of having a single language (like C# or Ruby) to unify all the disparate formats of HTML, CSS, Javascript, etc. This is a step in the right direction. Now add in a DSL for generating the HTML and CSS, and you can stay in C# the whole time!

TypeScript[^] is Microsoft's CoffeeScript.
I really can't see much of a logical difference between the two myself.
