The old way of doing things has always worked. Why bother with new technologies and paradigms? /s

These don't get you a job. I haven't been to interviews that care about these things.

Your argument make sense if only high paying companies do leetcode interviews. I think a lot of small and mid size companies are cargo culting on it too.

Serious question: Is this really a problem with web developers? Or is it with product managers who demand SPA like behavior?

You would be surprised of the number of companies who still has a “butt-in-seat” mindset.

I agree with you. But I think Twitch's angle here is that most hardcore gamers are usually the types to stay at home. They see a market to connect people that usually are not lent to social interaction.

My progression in editors was something like Sublime -> GVim -> Spacemacs -> VSCode -> Jetbrains. After all those years, there are 2 main takeaways for me. 1. I love modal editing, not necessarily Vim 2. My time is better spent

A comment above refers to the GT 710 as a cheap option new.

I don't think technology is the problem. I think the institutions that install or preserve the structures that cause a lot of people misery is the problem.

I think compounding the problem right now is that people can't simply switch or take a sabbatical in this current climate. Those that are contemplating getting away from their current work are thinking twice about it, even if the workp

I have a gaming PC but also used my MBP for gaming on non GPU intensive games. I was happy with this setup until Catalina killed 32 bit support. Most of the games I played on the MBP was 32 bit. Killed Mac Gaming for me.

It's only because most hackintoshers don't make money by selling them. It also takes a lot of time to setup so hackintoshing will never gain mainstream numbers.

How does one get experience architecting stuff when most roles usually require experience?

When you mean architect role, do you mean being a consultant?

I am an avid book reader and developer. I write book reviews and also try to write good documentation as a means to improve my writing. The only problem is finding someone or a group to receive good feedback.

I am using KeePass synced with Dropbox. Does Bitwarden have a way to import these as well as export out my stuff in case I opt to change to another password service?

const is for assuring that the variable is never reassigned. It's not for assuring that variable cannot change. const is not "constant". In any case, in the useState hooks, if the value is changed via the set function, the co

It doesn't take much imagination to see that in a deep component hierarchy, drilling down states as props is a maintainability nightmare.

I don't think not having enough time is the cause. I think it's because people have relatively less purchasing power and buying in to the productivity craze. People don't value leisure as much anymore.

> I'm half-convinced that Apple killed 32bit support so early precisely to see how developers coped; if it had been really bad they could have re-introduced it in a point release of Catalina. Is it really so easy to introduce 32-bit

Perhaps development work has reached complexity where it demands full-time attention? Perhaps there is a reason why DBA, SRE, Devops and Architects are separate roles?

The flaw in your arguments is that good and fast software is usually not the main goal nor the priority of people who drive software aka businesses

I don't think it's about developers caring less. I think it's because businesses have figured out that it is most cost-efficient to throw powerful hardware on problems rather than spending money on bespoke solutions or specia
