A period of stability


Rocky says

In both those cases there was a 5-6 year window when the platforms were slow-changing, the dev tools were mature, and disruption was around the fringes, not in the mainstream. From a "learn new tech" perspective those were probably pretty boring periods of time. But from a "solve big business problems" perspective they were amazing periods of time, because everyone felt pretty comfortable using the platforms/tools at hand to actually do something useful for end users.
The iPad turned the world on its ear, and we're just now back to a point where it is clear that the platform is .NET/Java on the server and Angular on the client (regardless of the client OS). The server tooling has been fine for years, but I think we can see real stability for client development in the near future - whew!

F12 Developer Tool is your friend.


I was recently debugging Web Site functionality issue with a client. We were not able to reproduce the issues at our end. I saw that the client has disable F12 developer Tool on user computer. I requested them to enable the F12 developer tool. They did and send amazing information. IE11 was hanging on one missing web trend file and was taking 10 - 15 minutes before hanging. Chrome was working fine. Chrome was taking only 2-3 seconds.
