Sure. I've met a lot of well-known authors at conferences and meetups. I've met people who work for big companies with R&D arms who are putting out content and products on the "bleeding edge" of technology (ala Thou

Do you mean integration tests? I don't think API contracts should be a part of a unit test. A unit test should be self-contained, unless of course there is a tight coupling to an API.. Which I would steer clear from. That's why I

This is the biggest reason I'm still using Firefox. Containers have totally changed my workflow, much preferred over Chrome profiles. I wish they added more colour and icon support, there's open cases for it but they're not p

I've found my programming skills aren't the main driver in furthering my career. It's soft skills, organisation and being able to prioritise. I have had periods of 6 months where I didn't write a single line of code. Sur

Honestly I think the best way to address this, is to call it out before it becomes an issue. Tell them why you're still in an engineering role. There is a reason, and some folks are just bad at their jobs, have no people skills or thei

Honestly it sounds like you're really good at what you do. Why not go for a tech lead role rather than management? Best of both worlds. Little bit of column A, little bit of column 2.

New Zealand and Melbourne, Australia: Only time I've regularly worked more than 40 hours was when I didn't know any better for a large consultancy. Since minor burn-out I've always maxed my hours to 40 per week unless I'

Yeah it's not great. Better off moving to Melbourne, AU if you want the laid-back life-style, more job opportunities. House prices aren't cheaper, but you get way more bang for buck especially renting, and the salary is much bette

Go with my gut more often, stop taking other people's advice against my gut feeling. I'm in a pretty good position based on my own merits. But I moved in with a friend at the advice that I'm too young to be living alone. I&#x

Yeah - but there's a LOT of variables that come into play for something like that. It'd likely be easier to either record it with something like BugReplay.com or video.

This won't work for WebSockets, really websites that use WebSockets require some interaction to generate the transmitted message which is often dependent on the servers response. Private websites, or websites that require a login are h

No I don't tell clients that up front - although I don't think it's necessary to. It's like saying if someone assaults me, or my shortcomings are going to be publicly broadcasted throughout the company, I'd tell the

For $300 I'd expect longer battery life and international band support. Old Nokia's were $50 and still usable in most of the world - this is a step backward. Look at the Galaxy Pocket Neo released for the African markets for insta

This. Very much this. It also depends on the scope. Eventually you'll find something if you're auditing a product, because you'll start at the application interface layer and work your way down. No issues with the design of

I've heard that the rates are 1.2 - 1.5x for contractors in North America (aside from a few outliers of course). In Australia and New Zealand I can confirm your rate multipliers are valid and the norm.

It usually consumes and publishes API's to facilitate the "ESB" function (which is incredibly vague, but pretty much acts as the "glue" to do all-the-things). The ESB term is so overused, and products like the one y

I assume you work for a non-profit or educational organisation? Have you used Mule in anger? Would love to hear how you're using it at the moment. There's not a lot of information about it around HN and my regular communities, so

I think they've removed some app permissions on access to the clipboard in Firefox. LastPass seems to be notoriously bad with copy-pasting and empty-page loads.
