Central Floridian here. Considering blocking notifications from my "space launch alert" app. Feels like every day between spacex and the other companies. It's amazing.

I left the framework for this reason. When I asked about it, I was told "this is what Next will be doing soon". I need more reasoning than that, and it was indicative of the decision making process. Turned me off. Aside from that,

Not Rocket League? The inverse may be true... I became a rocket league player after watching esports. So while I was outside the player base, I'm in it now. :)

Sorry, but no. I'm currently disgusted with Twitter's new management and their treatment of developers. It's the fediverse for me, thanks.

Mahalo was such a success, I can see why getting put on as a staff engineer makes sense. Calacanis was already a twit long before twitter was around.

This is exactly why we need a developer/designer union.

I built my first website in 1993, about a year before Netscape Navigator was released. There were no books, there was no javascript, no css. There was no PHP. It was just me, View Source and a netcom html hosting page. When I went professio

It does actually ask if you want to use your code to help train it. The problem is that even when people have said no, they're still seeing their code pop up in copilot's auto-complete. I don't mind it using my code because i

Some unsolicited feedback: 1) I had no idea what Clickhouse was for the first 30 seconds looking at the homepage. I now understand it to be a database of some sort. I shouldn't have seen the words "performance" and "clou

I think the average in my 24 year career in software is about 2 years, maybe 2.5 tops.

Bingo. React is great for insane amounts of fine grained control. But I don't want that. I want to build interfaces and not "manually shift" my local state management.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but won't this inevitably lead to articles with the title "Researchers detect subsonic boom but can't identify the source"? What other possible benefits could this have? Surely we know about

Was going to recommend a technical management role. This is a good call, imo. You only need to know how website/apps work, not the code itself.

IANAL. But, your use of the domain in commerce constitutes prior art. 100% get an attorney.

The good news is, the lack of loyalty between employer and employee means that as long as we old folk stay current with the tech, we'll never "age out". It's a lifelong obsession with learning.

I'm addicted to the carbonation and bite of the citric acid, personally. Though, I did recently switch to Zevia and now limit my intake.

It's a sellers market right now, so jumping job to job is beneficial. Companies are willing to pay top dollar and salaries are on the rise. I like this approach. It incentivizes and rewards. Even if things changed and this turned into

I always thought it looked like slack as well. probably because of the colors. But then again, all Monday seems to do is take ideas from smaller companies. Look at Timelinr. Monday copied their UI and everything.

Monday has been stealing from Timelinr ( https://timelinr.com ) for years now. I saw their marketing efforts shoot up around the same time. Looks like it's been paying off for them, but I prefer to support smaller startups, e

We've seen this time and again where walled gardens provide a solid experience and end up winning consumer trust. How do the champions of FOSS battle this? I don't know, but I'm on board when someone figures it out.

Same. Lead dev here. Part of my problem stems from the lack of typed libraries across the JS ecosystem. Party supported typing leads to more issues, I've found. Then there's the IDE. I don't use code hinting. In fact, I find
