I suspect this could probably be broadened to "how to market industry specific software to people in that industry", since I don't think it's just engineers that figure out the worth of a product this way. A doctor, lawy

To be honest, I don't think there is a 'normal' amount of layoffs. It depends how well run the companies you work for are, and how unlucky you/they are when it comes to societal trends as a whole. For example, I experien

From what I can see, it's a tough market to be in. On the one hand, you've got large competitors in the SaaS space offering website builders for just about every type of site under the sun (the aforementioned Squarespace and Wix,

I vaguely recall seeing a GameFAQs walkthrough that did this, and I think it might have been for a Final Fantasy game of some kind, but unfortunately I can't remember more than that.

It's difficult for newcomers to get their answers accepted there, or their questions not closed/merged with irrelevant ones. As a result, the new contributors the site needs to stay relevant are not sticking around, and not replac

This tracks pretty well with my experiences learning programming, both when developing websites and making video game mods. The times I failed, I was looking at other people's work and trying to figure things out too quickly and in an

This is one of those things I suspect should probably be made illegal, just like fake reviews are. There is no benefit to society for companies being allowed to post fake job listings, and an awful lot of downsides to both jobseekers (waste

The problem with any professionalism setup is that software engineering is a very broad field whose use cases range from "it doesn't matter, it's mostly for fun" and "this software runs the international space stati

This doesn't really scream 'Fediverse' for me. My first thought was some sort of rank, like in certain video games and military organisations (like how Mario Kart Wii uses it for 3 stars in Grand Prix mode).

Providing venture capital funds for startups and tech companies? As a non American, it still seems like you're more likely to get investment early on if in the US than anywhere else in the world. So it might still be the best place for

Yeah that seems pretty accurate. It's probably something like: Realistic: Redeveloping the login page for the site increased return users by 30% Unrealistic: Reveloping the login page for the site increased return users by 300%

Well, I think a Tor hidden service is probably the ideal for hosting it. Making it so users have to go through that system rather than accessing it via the clearnet makes it less likely your adversary can easily figure out where it's h

Ideally it should be on the server side, so you're right there. Client side A/B testing isn't the best way to handle things. However, it's sometimes a necessary evil due to: 1. The original company not budgeting time&#x2

This is kinda what I always wondered about these "show the numerical impact of your work" stats. How exactly do you know that? Unless you're a manager or something, how do you know that the company got say, 30% more users and

The A/B testing use case is probably the one good one there, at least if you can't serve the variations on the server side. So many issues come from trying to overwrite the page without it flickering/being blatantly obvious t

Still surprised it took so long. Feels like the folks working on CSS have some really weird prioritites when it comes to deciding what to work on and what to add.

Not using a Mac for my main computer, but thanks for the recommendation. I'll definitely look into it in case I use a MacBook in future.

A few things, such as: 1. The perfect is the enemy of the good. Finishing things is more important than perfecting them. 2. It's who you know rather than what you know. Should have socialised more in school/college/university

Ah, the second one is sadly so familiar to me. So many great scientists end up becoming cranks in fields they're not familiar with due to the misconception that they just know everything/can figure out everything easily. Looks at

This is why generative AI simply doesn't work for anything with actual consequences. As it is right now, it's a glorified autocomplete, and one that doesn't understand the context it's being used in at all. That's f

Practically speaking, because there's no need to, at least for 99% of the population. Any relevant information you can think of will probably get covered by a few hundred/thousand independent sites for free, or posted on social me

Honestly, I agree. Bullies and assholes only continue because there are rarely any consequences for their actions, and because in some cases society will bend over backwards to help them to avoid the hassle. If companies are terrified to ba

I'm gonna say it, paywalled content on Reddit isn't necessarily the end of the website, depending on how exactly it's implemented and who chooses what's paywalled. If it's the community choosing, then that's no

Yeah I'd say the misinformation about the original crime's perpetrator was the main cause for all these issues. There were already a lot of worries about immigrants and asylum seekers, which had been weaponised by a far right wing

Ah, it's the same issue that every user created content site and service with a payout system has. Because the cost of living is much lower in other countries, there's an incentive for people there to exploit these systems with us

It's baffling to be honest, since it feels like there's less feedback the further you get into the interview process, not more. About 40-50% of jobs I've failed to get to the first stage in have sent rejection emails in at le

Well, if you're not selling a product aimed at developers/engineers, it's probably not going to do you any favours. The average person on the street still sees .com as the norm for website addresses, or completely ignores the

Yeah, this seems to match up with my observations more. Online spaces seem far less active, while real life tourist destinations and hospitality businesses are absolutely mobbed. Definitely feels like a high percentage of people are trying

At least half of all websites would probably be better of if their creators realised they needed something closer to a 'blog' than a 'web app'. It's especially true when it comes to the media industry, who seem to l
