I played American football for 8 years and I have lifted weights for 20+ years. I preach deadlifts to any male hacker and/or office worker who will listen. To the women, I preach kettlebell swings.
Imagine you go to a therapist for years, then find out he's been talking about you on his blog. Now, imagine you have a friend, family member or co-worker who happens to know you see that therapist and that he has a blog online. The therapist does a good job of anonymizing the clients he's talking about, so your friend doesn't know exactly which posts (if any!) pertain to you. So he has to guess. Hilarity ensues.
This is a common response to the criticism of technical interviews and it's crap. Bullshit artists are easy to ferret out with a 20 minute conversation.
Also, there's no correlation between the ability to pass a technical interview and the ability to do the job after you're hired. This has been well tested by just about all of the big 5 plus the interviewing.io blog.
You're a liar. I didn't misrepresent anything nor did I say you accused me of being a white supremacist.
> I'm just curious why you're pushing the narrative you are.
No, you're not. I'm not pushing a narrative. I'm saying the simple truth. I don't care if you like that truth or not.
The only reason I'm still commenting is to make it clear to you that I won't be silent or stop speaking the truth just because you lie and try to malign me.
No, that's exactly what the table means. The fact you feel you have to preface your statement with "You probably know this" means you know you're lying.
Ah, thank you! It looks like Agenda[0] does use that model. Here's a blog post with details[1] in which they mention that Sketch[2] also uses the same business model (with some minor variations).
tl;dr: you buy the app and 1 year of updates. You keep what you pay for.
I wonder if it would be viable for an app like photoshop to have a feature marketplace. You start with a very basic version of the app and you buy the features you want piecemeal. You then have a separate service contract for ongoing support (ie: bug fixes).
Disagree. This puts pressure on the app developer to release versions with new features whether it makes sense for the app or not.
I balk at yearly subscriptions to software too for the exact reason you state. But, I also realize that one time purchases don't keep the doors open indefinitely. I wish I had a magic solution for this conundrum, but I don't.
I hate the infinite canvas in Sketch. It sounds great when you're creating things, but you have no idea where anything is when you go back to read it later.
Another factor here is employability. Employers go with the latest fad framework because they think it'll improve their ability to hire engineers in the short term. Unfortunately, this means that web developers need to always know the latest fad framework, whether they like it or not, or they won't get interviews let alone job offers.
