  1. Bitnami on Ask Slashdot: Is There a Web Development Linux Distro? · · Score: 1

    I use Bitnami.

  2. Clueless Recruiters on The Great IT Hiring He-Said / She-Said · · Score: 1

    Why do companies use clueless recruiters anyway? The development team need to be involved in recruitment. I once had a recruiter ask me if XML was a program I wrote.

  3. She Should Work in the Philippines on Prominent GitHub Engineer Julie Ann Horvath Quits Citing Harrassment · · Score: 1

    Female engineers and executives are normal and plentiful here.

  4. Visual Programming Has Been a 20-Year Failed Exper on Ask Slashdot: Why Are We Still Writing Text-Based Code? · · Score: 2

    Visual code generators have existed for two decades, most famous is the Rational product. I've never met a developer or read an unbiased article claiming that the code generators have helped. Usually they say it just leads to ugly code and high maintenance overhead to maintain the diagrams. In natural language, why haven't photos and videos replaced words? It's because words are still the best way to express precise and complex logic. Now, it's up to the writer to express complex logic in a series of simple steps that a reader can understand, or to write in a convoluted way.
