I love DDG and I used it for 6 months but the problem I had is that when I was looking for things related to coding or Linux--it fell short. I would type in an error from Objective-c, Node.js, Java, …

I've been in some development environments where the GitHub master branch is what the build system pulls from in order to deploy to dev, staging and production. With that setup, it's more c…

I've been playing around with iOS7 for a few hours and a lot of the issues could be addressed in the next 3 months. Someone should do a redesign like that guy did for the NSA slides[1]. I think…

That is true but there are 100's of resources to learn how to do Flat UI correctly. I tried to learn Flat UI a few months ago and I ran into a lot of the issues that I see in Apple's interf…
