Another trick is to wait. First write the post or email, then leave it alone for a while. This makes it easier to change the point of view. Somehow I also often find it easier to see possible improvements after I published something. I ofte

Its part of the remote-only and open source oriented culture. Haven really good written communication - which documentation is, really helps when you are spread all over the globe.

Yes its cultural, but you can change culture. Simple checklists that the team agrees upon for tasks that should be completed for a certain process. Just an example: after each incident do a postmortem, part of which is an update of runbooks

I think it's better in any case to pull the config values from your actual live resources in some sort of read-only view. This is the only way to be sure you're auditing what you think you're auditing, and it doesn't m

It's the job of the PM to decide what to build. It's your job how to build it, which includes taking time for an appropriate level of quality. It's easiest to improve the codebase where and when you alter it for feature work.

You break it, you spend days on fixing things instead of being somewhat productive, and if you break the codebase, then we wait while you try to fix it, before we need to step in and do it ourselves. This was sometimes my experience working

I just can't get over how much I dislike the word 'smell' in this context. I do know it is canon, unfortunately. It makes me want to stop and do something else, something more pleasant. It evokes a nasty image of shovelling s

There is a study relating rise of CO2 to loss of IQ in indoor situations. The outdoor concentration of CO2 is never and won't be high enough in the future to have a significant effect, but climate change will raise the base level which

From the blog you posted: > In most cases, this is the best way to handle *state that needs to be reset* You are talking about updating state, react author is talking about resetting. That's a big difference.

I love that you want to be knowledgeable in her interests. You won't be able to keep up with her however, let alone provide advice. But you don't have to. Ask her. Let her teach you. Be in awe of her growing skill and knowledge, h

Maybe, maybe not. First, efficacy below 50%, even at 10%, can be argued to be worthwhile from both an epidemiological point of view and from the purpose of individual protection. Second, I'm not convinced that your conclusion follows f

Nazi's rallying to kill Jews, or Jihadi to behead infidels, is not something that is normally allowed on a public square either. Does that make the entire public space in Western countries a Disneyland in your opinion?

Exactly this. It's even worse, distrust of broad scientific consensus is purposefully cultivated to further political and economic goals, and the methods to do so increasingly perfected. This damages our ability as societies to functio

I'm of the opposite opinion. I think being even more lax than Zuckerberg on psy-ops, hate speech, denialism, racism and misinformation will be quite dangerous to society. Some of the necessary conditions of speech itself might collapse

I get why nix is attractive, really, and its cool you can build docker images. But for people who don't know nix its a bit strange to say that Dockerfiles are tedious, and then proceed to show a much more arcane and verbose way of buil

It is not silly to protect the personal information of citizens. Whats silly is how the web is entangled with violating privacy and ownership of data, and it is considered as the just and normal thing to do.

Your view isn't simplistic, I think a vast majority of developers would agree with it. State, however, is necessary for the purpose of creating useful and in some cases performant programs. Furthermore, in some cases state can make a p

For DynamoDB you want as little relational data as possible, everything must be 'denormalized' by default. Joins will kill you in these (nosql) databases.

You could do both. Begin with a rough estimate, preferably a range (order of magnitude). If this gets greenlit, do all the things you mentioned but also just start on the project. Iterate on the estimate like you iterate on the deliverables

As a 5 year old, I remember getting into the BIOS and changing each and every setting to see what effect it had. For sure, I caused my parents a good deal of headache breaking the computer :) I also played video games a lot, but basically d

I believe it's not an either/or. Your opiniated views will percolate through everything you do and say, and your kids love and imitate you - at first. They will consume and absorb a good dose of your opinions and you can't av

The perceived the need to keep the camera off during a meeting is a good indication there is something wrong with the meeting, not that it's a good thing to keep the camera off. We had some recurring meetings where people consistently

Go doesn't have any substantial innovations in the set of language features, or maybe none at all. I believe it is instead the whole of a sober and efficient toolchain that effects tedious but simple to understand and work with code,

My comment about recycling needs more nuance. Of course recycling as a mechanism is part of a sustainable economy. But much better to recycle a material is to reuse a product, and even better is for the thing to not have been produced in th
