Well done. Looks quite good for the level of simplicity.

There's definitely a demographic of that culture that comes across as having a very angsty, "hack the planet damn the man" attitude. A surefire way to stoke that anger is to involve them in any kind of process that results in

So much this. Spend a month with a tech stack of any passing complexity, even ones at $FAANGco... We're nowhere close to solving all the hard problems.

Add me to the pile of those who don't like my salary adjusted arbitrarily based on where I decide to live. I don't think companies that want to attract upper-tier engineering talent will be able to get away with it either. Good en

I feel like we read different articles. They do make mention of being actively engaged on SO, but this didn't at all read like a marketing piece for getting more SO users. The key point seemed to be one I've seen echoed repeatedly

Nice work! I've been exploring using AirTable as a potential back-end for read-sometimes/write-rarely data.

I've encountered far more esoteric, game-breaking issues during Arch upgrades than I ever did with Debian-flavored ones.

Great work! Building something end-to-end is a valuable experience, even if the end result might appear outwardly "simple".

Just wanted to say keep up the great work! I found your blog via the aforementioned Metagame post. Not that you need it, but I hope I offer some validation in confirming that your ideas around career moats and the "meta" of your c

Those cost-points will be hard to argue with for those who need "good-enough" performance.

This, IMHO, is the right answer. The most proficient, well-compensated engineers I've worked with had deep technical knowledge in their respective domains, but were reasonably well-skilled in other areas(some non-technical), and could

Thanks for the comprehensive reply! I think you definitely highlighted the other side of the coin with Notion: once you're out on the edges of what it can do, there's no way to extend/change/modify. The performance also

As already echoed in some other comments in this thread: What is your experience with Notion? How does it compare to org-mode, specifically your system? I had a run at org-mode, specifically with interest in literate and pkm, and it was too

You're thinking only in the context of the traditional "steak" cuts like Ribeye or NYS. Sous vide opens up a wider selection of cuts that can be used, which traditionally do not cook well on a grill or in a pan. Skirt steak,

I always found the "idea" of that kind of work enticing. However, once I owned a house and had to do renovating/updating, I ultimately found it frustrating. Some jobs are incredibly frustrating if you don't have the exa

Depends on how you classify "smartest" and "best". At some point, the top-tier IC positions are going to require the type of skills that are commonly associated with extroverts. https://keavy.com/work&#x2
