The flip side is equally true. People don't usually internalise suggestion at face value unless they are in the right situational mindset. For example, telling your colleague directly that making a smaller pull request would make the r

I hated canned food. They taste either fake or salty as hell to me. Went to Valencia once, bought some canned seafood, octopus, cockles and mussels from supermarket. The cockles and mussels were okay, but man the octopus was delicious. Spai

It seems to me after the lessons, more students are in the "because you said so" camp whereas before the lesson they have more reasoning. I wonder, as parent, how much "indoctrination" and how much "reasoning"

Do you mean the devtool protocol[1]? I didn't follow the space so have no knowledge on it. On the other hand there seem to be a polyfilled API on chrome.devtools.network.Request which OP's extension uses extensively https:/

Love it! I used https://vite-plugin-web-extension.aklinker1.io/guide/ before to have cross browser extension support. If you don't mind I could take a look to add firefox support (no guarantee)

People seem to have an intuitive understanding on what matter the most to a ramen shop. Have ramen, get eaten, happily, in that order. And then we can talk about decor, hygiene, side dishes, etc. It is so muddy when it comes to software. Pe

Haven't read the book yet but it seems to be about design principles, abstraction, divide and conquer, single responsibility and the like. Man made objects tend to be single-purposed and interact with few other components. Over the yea

This is a pattern even in software industry itself. People specialise too early in their career, zooming closer and closer to a tree, knows everything about a leaf. Fewer and fewer people see the forest. A side effect of specialising is tha

I can't quite define what counts as start of sequence. Maybe a sequence should always have at least one element, and toss straight up is allowed. But if some flipping is mandatory, then the start of sequence would mean the other side o

I always tell people that result of coin flip is highly start state dependent. Imagine a sequence of H(ead), T(ail), H, T, H, T, ... if the sequence starts with H first, in no way can the number of T exceed that of H, but the number of H mi

I think better in pen and paper somehow. I don't know why. Whenever I need some serious thinking and designing, I reach out to paper and pen. My brain just wire differently on keyboard. I'm surprised to learn many feel differently

Make things that people use happily. That's the only thing matter. Microservices, K8s, noSQL, chat GPT integration, SPA, all are secondary. Don't make a hammer that no one uses. Think about how people use it, how people sell it,

Tangentially related, I always want a service to show all books mentioned in a book, like a web of html, but made out of books. I often find my next book that way. I wonder if there is such service out there? Would love to see the network a

I wonder if there is an open source community for making cars. And if so, is it legal to drive such a car. Anyway, at the end of the day, no one cares about privacy. Any company had consequences by screwing up privacy I would love to know.
