I'm so glad I'm not in high school - my default writing style is eerily similar to ChatGPT and I'm sure I would be flagged constantly. My middle school English classes were dominated by sentence diagramming - I'm not sur

I have a CEO acquaintance who bumped up their LinkedIn posting substantially in the last year - tons of long form “this is what I’ve learned running my company” posts. I asked a friend there how much time that CEO spends crafting these mult

Their plan is to make really elegant team-based shared coding features baked right into the editor - think a mashup of VSCode + Slack, and then charge for that, likely as a monthly subscription. It's not a bad idea if it can increase

I needed something like this today - was going to download Insomnia but I happened to check HN. I tried it out; it's exactly what I wanted. Postman, as echoed in previous comments, has gotten out of control with the upsell and the con

On their start date, I would to tell new grads assigned SRE / DevOps roles that their job was thankless and at best if everything worked fine no one would notice them. However, if anything went wrong, they'd not only be on the ho

You may of not used React in the past few years, but setState fell out of favor a while ago with the release of the useState hook and Redux (which I agree is an abomination) isn't necessary for 95% (imo) cases, again thanks to hooks. F
