I got promoted twice, I'm 43. Nothing has really changed. I tend to be more grumpy about new technologies, because they are repeats of what was cool 20 years ago. Coding marathons are overrated. Sometimes the best code is not writing a

I've started following a simple pattern, if there is documentation point them to it, if there is no documentation write it, then point them to it. What trips me up is questions in meetings that are onerous.

Math requires structure thinking, so does computer science. The best programmers I have met either had a degree in mathematics or it was the subject they did really well in. In terms of day-to-day usage, it depends on what kind of developme

How can I be concise when explaining complex subjects?

Reading your perspective was inspiring. It sounds like you are a more positive nowadays as well, which is great.

I'll reply by the top voted comment of that article: The author has no idea what is a programming language, why it exists and where it is used. To suppose that Java is equivalent to python only because a lot of programmers work on the

Evernote with Zappier integration is one of the ways I've done what you have suggested. Specifically I tried to track the weather (automatic email to evernote) along with my vitamin D usage and mood. It worked OK. Ultimately, I conside

For me, the biggest benefit of commit messages is for myself, dealing with my own code, to be able to revisit a change that caused a new problem. I also like having the story id as part of the commit message so merge requests can be connect

They already messed up. Now it's too late. Every blogger, small gonzo roleplaying books, big companies using OGL1.1 had to take a look and figure out what 1.1 was going to do to them. Multiple companies are already changing their licen

I'm sure it depended on your social circle/age group. My age group, mid 20s during Netflix creation, everyone I knew have a Netflix DVD subscription. We were raised with VHS rentals, so DVD rentals were the natural next step when

You are missing an important thing. Netflix allowed a huge library of DVDs to be rented. You could have 3-4 DVDs on rotation for a rather cheap price. This happened when Blockbuster would charge you $5 per movie, and Netflix would charge $1

Piracy is illegal. Before I proceed, I have to say that in my personal opinion piracy makes sense when it comes to media, as in music, movies, shows. I feel like application piracy is a different thing. Mainly because with an application yo

Fellow SRE/DevOps here. I agree with this interpretation. Specifically, if things are not "working", I expect the developers to understand how their code works and what it needs to function properly. I'm constantly surpr

White backgrounds create static like artifacts in my vision. Doesn't happen as much with dark. I've tried Light Themes because in theory it's better for asthegmatism, but it's definitely worse for me. I even thought that

Some specifics sure. I'm looking more into general trends like when creating a Docker image it's a good idea to X, Y, Z and we use this tool to satisfy X. Or Docker images have K, L problems that Podman doesn't have. However

Out of curiosity, I see that opening a PR triggers an automatic branch build, when the code is merge into master is your build process repeated? If not, which is what the diagram implies, how do you handle two branches with two PRs trying t

Good stuff. Thanks. This seems to be along the lines of what I was looking for.

I have to share my story, because I read the comments here and the post and I fell into a similar trap about a year ago. It all sounds good. Compact keyboard has always appealed to me, so did ergonomics, I bought a split keyboard (36 keys)

All the main languages that I know off have libraries to mock API data. Usually the problem is bad API design. I know Microsoft gets flack in HN, but I find this document a pretty good primer on API design and decisions you should make: ht

I will tell you what I do, your mileage might vary. I try to keep my code changes small. I rather have 4 changes in four different PRs, than a single one. Have you ever opened up a PR, saw 25-100 files changed and you just moved on instead

This is so true. The hardest bugs and usually the ones that can get caught with a good code review are misunderstandings from the developer or business analysts not making the expected behavior clear. Tests don't catch that. Unless the

When I found GTD I thought I found a life changer. I sat down and tried to reduce my overwhelm. For my work alone I had 111 projects. It helped a lot, but then 1 year old I stopped using it. The problem is GTD is too heavy process wise. The
