It shouldn't be that hard to to follow the "Don't be an asshole" rule, unfortunately for the rest of us, 0.001% can't figure out how to get along with other humans. I think CoCs just become a new tool for a differen

Serverless is the new microservice. Fortunately, for the most part it’s fallen flat on its face and for good reason - most companies don’t need it: it adds unnecessary complexity for minimal gains.

This seems like such a saner way to achieve modularity/boundaries rather than using Microservices.

> I would say algebraic data type is the number 1 reason Swift is becoming so popular. Let's not kid ourselves - iOS is the #1 reason Swift has any popularity at all. Outside of the Apple ecosystem Swift is practically non-existent.

Git GUIs simply don't provide the power/flexibility the CLI provides without introducing a UI with a gazillion options. I've tried many (GitKraken, Tower (paid for it too!), SourceTree, VS's integration) and I've al

My kids are 14 and 8. The rule is simple no phone/devices in your room after 10pm - yes the 14 year old whined and protested when we implemented this rule last year. Now it's just the norm (kids adapt) and she puts her phone on th

QA is becoming an endangered species. As a software engineer I despise that my end users are my beta testers. Only a handful of times in my career have I had the luxury of a QA team and they were worth their weight in gold. Of course busi

No, it means they did some math correctly in the past. They built great hardware and coupled it with a usable OS/UX. I have tried Android several times and found it generally more buggy. However, iOS has progressively gotten more comp

I buy Apple products because they are supposedly held to a higher standard. They do not get a pass just because iOS 14 is not as awful as their previous attempt.

And they aren’t pulling their weight in your home why? There’s plenty of work to be done around the house. Turn off the internet at 11pm. They’ll either get with the program or move out ASAP.

Apple Watch Series 6...totally uninspired update. I was hoping we might get a glucose monitor/sensor, instead we get a blood oxygen sensor. Apple's just coasting at this point. I was considering getting the iPhone 12, but at thi

As a C#/.NET developer I couldn't agree more - more often than not most of us simply do not need async, but everyone's doing it so it's become a 'best practice.'

As an iPhone X owner/user I'm less and less inclined to go with Apple for my next phone. Apple & Google have a duopoly on mobile phone OSes. It's been how many years that they've been taking a 30% cut? You mean they

In my (American-Italian) family it's always been pretty normal for the boys & the girls to live at home until they got married (or moved away for work, etc.) I lived at home until I got married at 27. Best decision I ever made.
