Full-stack developers are in fact stuck at mid-level.

Spare yourself from suffering — don’t go down that path. You will be welcome everywhere, but nowhere really at home. Despite your enormous efforts, every guru of the next big thing will foam at the mouth claiming you are not worth to be called a senior: http://amp.gs/V74w

How to do stable releases? I’d like to share my story how we dealt with it”: http://amp.gs/Vgay

Naïve Math: the Mendocino motor and Earnshaw’s theorem.

“I was surfing the Internet the other day and a rather curious thing caught my mind: the Mendocino motor. It’s an extremely low-friction bearing rotor: the original one had a glass cylinder hanging on two needles, but the modern ones use magnetic suspension”: http://amp.gs/V9Zo
