I discussed this with my partner that takes her hobby of dog-training very seriously (like, we live with three dogs, and she sometimes does payed woroshops, e.t.c) that Border Colies are often considered to be the most intelligent dogs, but

This is the reason why postgrest is mostly solution looking for a problem to solve. I.e. last time I had great usecase, I ran into the problem that I needed good integration with our identity-service and didn't want to do the workaroun

No, product/dev disconect was there quite often for years. Red Hat has kinda been living off the unix-to-linux migration that happened in early 2000s, and because I think we didn't wan to become the kind of company that just maint

Well, there was lot of jokes at the start, people comming in to work in blue ties for day or two. In reality, nothing changed, for better or worse, we did kinda speculate that this was kind of an expensive acquihire of one James M. Whitehu

Red Hat. Worked there as an intern during college, continued for few more years and returned there after a brief stint at a startup. Work/life balance is great, most code public has so many advantages and colleagues are friendly and de

Well, I ask the same kind of interview question when conducting interviews for Red Hat and work-life balance is much better ;)

Yeah, beer 1000 years BC shouldn't be surprising anywhere?

So, in the end all of languages move closer to StandardML :D Like even python has sum-types and pattern matching now!

I think it is just about growing knowledge and acceptance on one side and growing need to demarcate yourself on the other. Everything is a spectrum, right? I remember ~20 years ago, when I knew nothing of being trans-gender as a concept, an

Yep, last summer I knew more people in my friend group that had lyme disease than people with covid.

I think part of it was that the sort happened when we were ~10yo? People from A-class were the sort of straigh-A student that then coasted on the fact learning came to them ~naturally, so maybe that is why the perceived performance declined

I have seen less than 0.1% in my school fail like this. But yeah, it was punitive and usually did provoke a "well screw YOU!" response or ingrain "I must really be stupid" mindset.

T.b.h. as somebody from ost-block country, I did hate the cast-system based on the performance. In my school we had a class that selected for the worst students, and surprise, it created a class where so many people failed. I was in class t

Like, I wouldn't mind. Only thing that would kinda stop me would be fear of of the buildsystem, I remember fighting heaps of xml configuration for maven and ant ~10 years ago, so I hope that got better :)

For backend, most languages are acceptable, and depends on your team and personal preference. Python will do the job. Java-shops still chug along. Go-lang is nice. Node-js is fine. Personally, I prefer javascript to GO, as it is more expres

I think the point of this is to focus on countermeasures that work, because if you divide your attention wrong, you can start approaching something like a sanitization-theatre, that looks like you are doing impactful things but in reality

Use what you know. You know python? Django is fine. Flask and jinja will be fine. Are you a front-end pro? Use react/vue/whatever, put it on netlify/e.t.c, and use firebase/other dbaas as a backend.

It depends. I would think of SCRUM as Getting Things Done for teams? I.e. a popular set of productivity tools with a cottage industry of people trying to teach it behind it. If you look at it as a set of tools, you can make something really

Damn, this looks nice! Especially the procedural stuff. I did use Blender roughly 10 years ago for school projects, and I would like to get back, anybody has a good tutorial lying around? :)

Yes, json is so much simpler. Afaik, that is the reason for its popularity, even XML can be too much (especially as you browse the list of vulnerabilities in parsers).

Ok, I think the best part of these sorts of post is to plug other projects, right? :) So let me plug Hedy by Felienne Hermans, a python like environment, that gradually introduces more programming concepts :) https://hedy-beta.he

I would say the event of having your own child is probably the highest stakes on the most personal scale you can get. I have a kid (6yo), I have definitely found a lot of my happiness in being her father, but I see it as a giant responsibil
