Is programming on different monitors bad for your eyes? I have not noticed anything anidotally about different monitor (I use a high res HP (27" 2560x1440) and my Macbook display). What I did notice is when I used a large size, but relatively large pixel size (27" 1080i) monitor I had trouble with that. |

Why is MongoDb popular with Node.js? Just speaking from experience. While it is not necessarily the case all the time, larger projects with wide scope and features are more likely to use a relational database as their primary store. I think this has more to do with the nature of the data in these systems than it does with any shortcomings or strengths in the technologies between relational and nosql databases. Larger systems are more likely to deal with structured data that is better suited to a relational database (think enterprise systems with well defined structures and rules). |

How should you deal with a popular project that you no longer want to maintain? If you are not making money from this raise rates or start charging for the service. |

Is it a good idea to schedule regular time to clean up code? Good point, I do agree that the regular time doesn't work well. Too often priorities cause it to be cancelled etc. |

Is it a good idea to schedule regular time to clean up code? This won't address those nagging problems that are lurking around in areas that may not be part of the feature request from the product team. |

Is it a good idea to schedule regular time to clean up code? Your second sentence contradicts the first. You said no, but then said you work these kinds of things into every sprint. In a way that is scheduling time to do it. |

Is it a good idea to schedule regular time to clean up code? I think this is good advise, but does not address the question asked. Haivng managed a team with a horrendous code base (was horrendous before I got there). It was time very well spent to tackle refactoring and cleaning up specific functions. We called them infrastructure projects and worked them into every sprint we could. Often these things were items that were not part of another change, but were things the team had identified as problem areas. We did quarterly retrospectives and would update this list regularly. |

How do I make a cloud based web app accessible internally in the event of an internet outage? What is the ROI on this feature. How often is the internet down at your place of work? If this is a legitimate concern, standing up a server and moving this thing in house is going to be a lot cheaper than any sort of data synchronization you could possibly do |

Wrote an application for a friend. Who is the owner of the software? @KeithS yes my contract had me fairly well covered. I also stipulated that I controlled access to the source code during development and would't turn control over to the client until final payment. Additionally based on a bad experience where a friend didn't pay, I also asked for 1/3 up front. I have a good client, so all has been well, but even in the best of cases you need to protect yourself legally. |
