40 year old tech-entrepreneur here. In my 30s, I became the tech lead who I needed as a co-founder. I learned by doing, with periods of great intensity, over many years. There's so much I haven't accomplished yet and so much mo

Correct if wrong but this study sample included people who meditated at least once a week for at least two months? There's the problem. Meditation is a daily exercise conducted for at least 20 minutes. You won't be able to appl

Absolutely agree! This approach has worked for me throughout my career. There is much to gain with this approach, but to be fair, pursuing excellence involves drifting from task completion and can impact execution. Pick your passions wise

Have you evaluated Tantivy/Toshi as possible alternative to ES? I only ask because of your native use of Rust. PGX seems like a more robust offering than pg-extend-rs. This is a great addition to the community! Also, v.0.0.3 doesn&#

What I'm referring to are fields that must be one of the expected values. It seems like you're talking about a scenario that doesn't meet that criteria. One of five values or null is simply an Option<MyEnum>.

Enums are my favorite type in Rust. You can do so much with them, and even more using 3rd party crates such as strum [1], allowing you to do things such as iterate over variants and decorate each variant with custom properties. How is th

How much wasted effort is expended by testing policies? Consider, for instance, managing development by setting an arbitrary target % coverage for unit tests. As team refactors code, unit tests will break, and the test coverage requiremen

I think you would really appreciate Rust for backend web dev. Quite a few people who were once upon a time hardcore rubyists gravitated to Rust and became some of its greatest contributors: Steve K., Sean G., Carl L., Florian G., and many

The first exposure is the hardest part. It's not the kind of language that one can just pick up and use effectively without first understanding the fundamentals, especially if using an async runtime. The investment is worthwhile, tho

I've been really happy with Github Dark: https://github.com/StylishThemes/GitHub-Dark I can't relate to the OP's preference for Gitlab's UI. Gitlab UI is the reason why I don't use Gitlab.
