I had friends that had a 1/2 address in Chicago, sending them mail was a nuisance. Even the Post Office didn't know how to find it some of the times.

This is very helpful to see, along with the gmass blog mentioned within. We've been going through this process for months and it's definitely a moving target with no clear path to resolution. The whole process feels a bit Kafkaesque.

I just finished this recently and would definitely recommend as well. It really made me question a lot of assumptions I had about humanity and history. For example it's really not obvious that the agricultural revolution should have ever taken place considering the challenges associated with changing from a proven system for survival.

10. Tell those you care about you how you feel, you never know when you might lose that chance

This one very much! Never skip an opportunity to tell people they matter to you. Time and life is very fleeting

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by senior, but my title says I'm senior (6 years exp, 3 in this job). I would say I'm beyond reasonably happy. I found a good company with senior management I can believe in and co-workers who are strong technically and easy to work with. Although the industry, advertising, is no one's favorite, our mission is to make it suck less while supporting people who create real journalistic value which I can get behind.

Yeah I agree it's an oversimplification. It's tough when writing a piece like this where a deep level of language knowledge is required to make a clear explanation. I tried to lead people toward the cause without getting bogged down in too many details.

Thanks for the example!

I think what you describe is a great approach.

The reason I claimed it was a mistake for angularJS devs was that angular seed and yeoman lead to doing directory by type, which I think becomes a burden as an app scales.

Yeah I think that's a fair point. It's easy enough to write a grunt or gulp task that does the copy. Not too hard to copy all the *.html files from the app directory. The time savings for development are worth it to me

Hey I'm the author of the article. I created a library of modules that were reused across single page apps. For individual libraries I agree it doesn't make sense, but not enough people take advantage of the module system

I actually think this idea is pretty great. I am currently in the market for a new chair, and have a specific style in mind, but have had trouble finding it just by going to stores. I also think browsing on Amazon is a terrible shopping experience. A simple place to find furniture from different retailers could be really useful.
