I think this gets overblown in the sense that followers often do no equal customers, especially when it's a subscription. obviously yes, having an audience is helpful, but it can also give you false confidence too. They'll tell yo

I'm absolutely pissed about it. I couldn't believe it when I saw it and I spent 20 minutes trying to find the setting that I thought must be there somewhere. It's such a seemingly small thing but in. lot of ways it's t

The parent comment is saying that the economic success of China should be encouraging America to step it's game up, not that it should become a single party system.

Whoever allowed that decision to be made should be ashamed of themselves and embarrassed. Safari really is the new IE.

I run my own git server with Gogs, which is written in go. I set that up 2 or 3 years ago on a 5 dollar DOdroplet and have never had downtime and I haven't SSH'd into it since the initial setup. I use it all day every day for man

I think you could argue up front and ongoing costs for either scenario. The duplication of an app for each install is technically very low cost (although you could say that the app store taking 30% is a cost there), that doesn't mean t

Pattern matching is awesome and we should make use of it whenever appropriate, but not every situation is appropriate. For instance, if your formatted_hour functions were larger, or shared some amount of code between them, then cond might b

Your first argument is true, but I would argue that if you already know what you're doing, you can write some demo portfolio code specifically to show off your skills in very little time. Make that code pleasant to read, free of legal

You're right, maybe not the right thread for this. I was commenting less on the article and more on the general disdain for bootcamp grads that seems to crop up in every article or thread about them. It always devolves into whether peo

Who gives a shit where or how you learned to code. What a stupid and indirect way to filter candidates. Just show me what you've done. Send me repo links, production code, or even just the end result with some sort of proof that you ac

The problem, I think, is that they are hiring younger for what are economic decisions, rather than decisions based around protected status. That is, they're more likely hiring young because they can get a better deal out of it (they as

A few, more concrete, ideas about how you might reduce emotional Bing coding: Experiment with coffee. Most commonly I see bingers drinking a LOT of coffee, that's what fuels and in part causes the binge. If that's the case, try

One of my main complaints about cs in university is that they didn't teach how to put their effort and energy into their projects in a healthy and sustainable way. Many students ended up learning the 'magic binge' approach yo

Ok, here's a strange analogy, but hear me out. Think of a company as a hostel rather than a family or a sports team. For example: The owner is trying to make a profit (rather than a hard salary) and it's probably best if they&#x27

No, usually that lessens my enjoyment actually. The point for me is to get outside and just enjoy being there, and being a little bit active, not to pack another objective onto my to do list. I'll often make a small coffee and sip that

No, as I mentioned, I'm a freelancer. Intellectual property for any project is strictly defined in the contract for that project. I'm also operating on my own equipment, as a separate entity, on my own property. Not to mention tha

I work as a freelancer from home, so my answer might be less interesting to people at an office, but I've found that at home I'm mostly just doing the things I wanted to do at the office when I worked in one, but felt uncomfortabl

> If you want client persistence, you have localStorage, sessionStorage and IndexedDB. I really wish that we had a persistent, non-ephemeral web api for local storage. One that has to be manually deleted by the user, searchable by domain

Interview idea: Honestly and bluntly tell the potential employee the worst things about working for your company, _then_ ask them why they want to work there. I bet you would get some really telling information out of their answer, and if y

In my anecdotal experience, selling something, especially to businesses, typically comes down to 4 things (in descending order of what's easiest to sell): Will it make them more money? Will it save them money? Will it make their (the d

This is why I think more people who are looking for remote should be open to becoming a contractor/freelancer temporarily. Working remotely is already an accepted practice in that context, allowing you to build up a track record of suc
