   Thank you so much for this post. I am a person who is not used to ever asking for my money back. But I felt these banner ads were misleading and to be honest I felt cheated. I made the request and gave a link to the mailing list post and qu

   Pretty interesting stories in that thread like the magnetic bracelet stuff. This is a tangent and I’m sure others will see me as being oversensitive but I’ve always found it distasteful that the subreddit has master race in its name. I mean

   I found the post interesting. It provoked me to think about the low-code, no-code movements, and of the concept of folk interfaces. It is a nice term and I will try keep it with me in my future thinking. I found the 9c radio particularly ap

   I definitely thought, "man this is out-of-date" when I looked at this article. I'm a big fan of analysis and linting tools to catch what the language cannot, as well. You can always disable that stuff with a magic comment whe

    I am definitely a big PR user, but I believe that PRs could be implemented as a stand-alone app. That link was very interesting, I read it all. The footnote made me laugh, which is good, because apparently I make poor life choices, and am a

    I've either never heard of or never bothered to pay attention to SourceHut. https://sourcehut.org/ How did GitHub ever get so big when this exists? Is it because GH predates SourceHut? I'm not clear on when SH cam

    I think this is an important perspective and worth remembering. One of the beautiful things about code and about tech is (used to be?) the leveling of the playing field down to simply ability. In my opinion, it should not matter whether a p

    I understand that your task which maxes out at one hour has some value. I have written such tests as a candidate and some have been good. I have iterated on the development of such tests as an interviewer. I feel that they can offer a candi

    I believe this is reasonable advice but I believe it can be simplified even further. Live-coding in an interview be it in a text editor (shitty or otherwise - those web based platforms can be really painful and slow to use when sharing a sc

    I did not notice that at all but in hindsight it seems obvious. I am a fan of a well crafted email. I find chat can be an excuse for half-baked thinking and I really appreciate it when people put care into their words.

    Sorry, I was asking about U2F as an alternative to TOTP and not a method of implementing such. If I’m not mistaken that was unclear on my part and you were led to interpret what I said a different way than I intended.

    I irks me that this is a method that is resorted to in any field. I don’t like it at all. It’s a dubious practice at best. I am sure it has some advantages to a profit seeking seller, but it’s ethically pretty shitty in my opinion.
