I get it. However I find without significant direction from me it architects things badly and/or introduces poor patterns or lack of maintainability so it’s not like you can just let it run. However manual coding does seem more tedious

This is one thing to let your accountant choose imo. Only thing I outsourced right away (bookkeeping and taxes). I asked questions and learned what they were doing over time but it gets in the way of running the business to focus on that im

I’ve lived both, car centric US/Canada and London. At first public transport seems great but over time the realization sets in about how uncomfortable it is (no seat warmers, cleanliness, having your face in people’s armpits) and incon

Drivers and residents pay additional taxes to maintain roads and pay for their own cars. You can’t get tax payers to maintain your own car.

Imo, as someone who lived in central London for 9 years with no car, the Uk puts ideology first oft n. Obsessed with trains. They are unreliable and expensive. Even the London Underground doesn’t pay for itself with tickets, needing subsidi

Of course you’re not responsible for his death, you need not feel any guilt whatsoever. However to the general point, having been in this industry for close to 20 years now, unnecessary complexity and constantly changing frameworks and conv

I loved them so much when younger it inspired me to become a programmer. I wouldn’t be in tech without them. Nowadays I don’t play other than with my kids. I believe this decline is because there are so many other problems to solve and resp

Good idea, this is useful. What do you use as your source data? LinkedIn jobs?

I'm not worried. Will adapt as needed or die. Editing to add, I don't mean to sound flippant but I believe it's hard to predict things very far out and adaptation/iteration is the way forward. The true 'heroes'

This issue is the biggest one I believe: "For example, many Canadians under 35 are unlikely ever to be able to buy a place to live. The fallout from this decline in living standards will be exacerbated by the fact that the difference

I know you say Studio display feels excessively expensive, but I just got one two weeks ago and I couldn't be happier. If you can afford it, it's worth it.

Yes. Is OP exaggerating? Or is the board member actually saying such things?

These are all different things. Subscription vs one-time payment (+ maintenance/updates payments) are two ways off offering to pay. Freemium just means offering a free tier to let users try the software and offering a way to upgrade to

The latest Macbook Pro has 24 hours of battery life and is a powerful laptop. It's not the thinnest laptop, but it's not bad, how thin do you really need it to be? To me the overhead of replacing one machine with two wouldn't

CI plays a huge part in supporting test automation so I can see why this is a pain point. This also impacts deployments in general. Speaking specifically to test automation I find that most companies simply prefer to make the calculation th

Thank you. My dad was 43. Yes he was Indian and I believe you are right about enhanced risk.

My dad died from a heart attack in 1992. His arteries were blocked. He had very high cholesterol and statins were unavailable until the mid 90s. I was found to have the same issue and it was so high I was told it had be familial. A couple o

I don’t know how widespread this is but I don’t do this for the very reason you bring up with differences between countries, I drive in both the UK and Canada most years.

It just seems like an old convention that has stuck, seem'm much simpler to anyone not familiar with ships to say 'ships left' or 'ships right' than to have new words. We don't do this with cars. You have a lef

Violent criminals do not suddenly appear on the streets from out of a portal from another dimension. They start out as babies, then toddlers then children. Something goes very wrong, neglect and lack of guidance, developing a delusional rea

We originally used it at Tesults.com (the test automation reporting dashboard) because it's got a great API, documentation and to some degree due to the reputation of the company. Overtime, we've had no issues with it and so curre

I have a similar background. I don't think you can regret it because it's the circumstances you found yourself in early in life I guess as a child. If you were severely bullied or mistreated to be insecure and lack confidence it&#
