You sir, deserve a medal

Thank you for sharing this

Irritable bowel syndrome

Shared memory!

"and the more you think about patents the more you wish you were a plumber and not a dev so all you'd have to deal with is toilets blocked with shit, and not software patents, which are much worse."

This.

"Continuously Delivering Nothing" is a mission statement for several companies I know.

I'm working on v2 of an app that's been under development for 5 years with no production users. They're still on v1. Pitiful.

Tar it up, cat it to devnull

It is important to compress it with bzip2 or your even better custom algorithm before finally archiving it in /dev/null

You shouldn't use cat for a single tar. Less will work just as well.

All of them were using an up-to-date copy of Firefox previously with ad and tracker blocking configured with exceptions for their financial sites and with Flash configured to automatically update via Windows service as well.

It is frightening that as a web developer you lack the comprehension of why a single dominant browser is quite bad for the web. Have considered a career change, maybe growing vegetables is something you'd be good at.

I think the parent is saying that's it preferable to IE being that one single browser.

And honestly, your reply was childish and and a bit douche-bag-ish.

There's no need for this here - (I assume) we're all adults, and don't need to resort to playground tactics.

(If you actually are under 16, then I take the above and I'm sorry - welcome to HN!)

Shut up and take my money! I'm sold. Thank you for this explanation.

Webpack can do that for you via dead code removal

Uglify has been doing it for years too - just do a quick env var string substitution and it’s trivial, Webpack or not.
