How to stop over-engineering in software. Because the problem is the solution to the problem of the solution (repeat as needed)
|

Novice coders see every problem through a tunnel. You have what you know and you shoehorn those skills into every solution. It’s helpful in your skill development to bang away at a problem using only your wits and whatever help docs you can find but you’ll definitely be spending a lot of time on each problem. The wheel doesn't need to be reinvented, thank you

Of course it does. Would you want to still be using the wheels from a thousand or even a hundred years ago?
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

But they're still a wheel. Everything since then is a refinement, but the core notion didn't need reinvention.

Maybe, but what colour should they be?

Nice article. Thx for sharing..

Apple is offering to recycle some third-party products for free as well. I wonder if they'll recycle fanboys as well?

Recently, we announced the release of TypeScript 1.0. In addition, we’re excited to say that TypeScript is now taking code contributions from the community. This is a significant milestone for the TypeScript project and team! The "better JavaScript" is now official

Emscripten C/C++-to-JavaScript project uses a back end derived from LLVM for greater speed and a more dedicated compiler Ugh. People. Stop. Just, stop. Please.

I don't think this belongs in the Industry News section...
Possibly the lounge or maybe the Web Dev forum.
Why don't you write an article about it.

Essentially, you want to promote yourself in terms of what specific attributes you will bring to the company and how those attributes will create value. Use stories from past experiences to highlight those attributes. "He said, 'You look like a fine upstandin' young man, I think you'll do'"

A team at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology has already used the system to power equipment at a nuclear power plant. Why is everyone glowing?

They are glowing with pride in their accomplishment.

In the wake of Heartbleed, a well-known open source development group is creating a simpler, cleaner version of the dominant OpenSSL. Thanks, now if you could just make a time machine and send it back a few months?

Both remaining VMS fanboi's raged when seeing this. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Non-coders often associate programming with math, but researchers have used fMRI readings to discover a possible link to the language processing centers of our brains. "Any questions?"

Why would this surprise anyone?
