i did take some issue with the way that point was phrased as well. but, i took it a little more broadly than it was actually specified: people who are not great about communicating or make it hard for you to work with them at the outset wil

i do think these are good habits. my favorite is the one about type #3 of tech debt. i wish i could push a button and impart this way of thinking to many of my old coworkers. (and, there is some room for taste/interpretation/etc.

This linter tool checks a schema for those issues: https://www.npmjs.com/package/schemalint (it is linked from the doc itself, too). It is kind of handy.

i agree; but i use caps in my codebase, and lowercase when testing things out manually, just for ease of typing.

this is really nice. i am glad the author put it together. i didn't know the pg docs were 3200 pages long! i have been using it for a while and try to learn as i go. i really do like the docs. and i also like to read articles on variou

pretty informative. now i understand why people are often having issues with vacuum-related stuff. i like the diagrams too.

for my area code, some of the sysops have left commentary on the directory page that lists the numbers. also, i used to log in to many of them.

i don't think i've done a bait and switch and generally don't actually know what you mean by saying that i have done so. my point in that sentence was simply that nothing is promised by life. society does have norms and peopl

yes, this. as others have pointed out: of course it is (understatedly) terrible that so many people who work various types of jobs cannot pay their bills. all that i see happening here is that the low income bar for being able to survive an

Of course you are correct, nobody is ever promised anything like the ability to fulfill their dreams or to live a decent quality of life. But maybe the universities could pay them a living wage for teaching six classes a week.

a beautiful post. it's really nice when we get posts like this here, just personally i find it very meaningful. > But sometimes the employees there would give me the employee discount, I guess they realized I needed it. that is such

this seems like a fantastic way to look back on a career where the author started as a prolific solo developer and later became an effective, fast, and contributing part of an effective development team. it was also just really fun to read,

while i have only ever worked at places that do some form of agile development, sometimes i think about things that are just foundational elements. to be pedantic, they definitely work. they just, on their own, do not provide any utility. j

Very nice read. I remember reading the one she wrote first too. Quite moving.

it was a good read. but i also note the date on it is Dec. 2021. perhaps things have changed (i have no idea). i do think it is a risky business to change your car's interface with an update!

I believe I remember reading that for merging branches to the Postgres project, you need to update the docs too in order to pass code review. A nice way of doing it, I thought. Pg has some great docs that I have been reading for some year

Interesting take. I was having a discussion about databases and SQL with some coworkers and I want to get a chance to argue for using that as opposed to an ORM that generates some generic query functions. I feel like doing it the “hard and
