Spot on. Is a little bit of dust on the furniture going to kill you? Sure I'm not proud of it but dusting it every single week religiously isn't something to be particularly proud of either.

In a "generic" system you will almost by definition lose some useful stuff. The system will end up feeling a bit clunky. People who have worked on Wordpress and Drupal to stretch them into content management systems for various in

I don't really know. I'd guess it depends on the type of organisation. In a casual startup I would hear coworkers saying fuck a good 20 times a day and no one cared.

Not that I think those pieces of advice are particularly good but what does the author suggest other than surrender? His post is basically saying "There is nothing you can do about it just surrender.".

I'm not a fan of OpenStack. Have had nothing but awful experiences with it.

Can you elaborate on the API that you need? To create checks?

I think it has to do with me being an introvert and not being able to deeply understand or view the world through an extrovert lens. Having said that when I look around what I see is what appears to be mostly actors. And I think I'm ju

I should clarify the part that I meant feels me with a toxic feeling was not seeing other people doing something they enjoy. It's just that it seems like a carefully crafted image is being presented to manipulate the reader and to push

Maybe it's just me but posts like that you linked fill me with a toxic feeling. I don't know how to describe it. It just smells so fake and diplomatic. Plastered with photos of smiling people in different countries and happy-go-lu

Since the topic is relevant, I was disappointed with how basic Amazon ELB is. Many features such as weighted or IP-based routing are missing. I know it's possible to achieve that with other options like Route53 or running your own load

Not referring to Gitlab's incident but the general problem with this stuff is too often people treat something like "make a backup" too literally. As in, they think the act of generating a backup file is the last stage of the

Oh if only it was more popular, yeah just like Heartbleed was caught in OpenSSL. My point was the eyeballs argument is often made as a claim about the absence of bugs at the present time. When in fact it simply means "it is possible fo

A great example of the falsehood that people often repeat mindlessly about "thousands of eyeballs watching the source".

My god. Just leave. It's not big deal and they'll survive just fine. Do not push back the new job even more.

I've found the nature of the idea is quite important as well. For example for a long time I used to do very "philosophical" projects. Huge ambitious ones where before you even start you already know it's by definition go

I'd say forget about the money just live a normal low-stress comfortable life doing what you enjoy.

Not really as they are not that specific. It just seems having a large follower base gives you a bit of influence and leverage and a voice that you can use when the time comes. I have avoided having an online presence for a variety of reaso

I resisted Twitter (and most social media including Facebook) for various reasons. There is a very real cost to this choice (especially depending on your lifestyle). For me as a huge introvert I could tolerate the cost of not having Faceboo

It is conceptually like a global variable except changes to it are strictly controlled. So in that sense it is a very close representation of reality. The reality is that the state of your application can be (and I'd say should be) per

You don't need "AI" for that. You need structured data. You need to bridge the gap between boundaries. If you have a powerful declarative system it could on the spot alert you to most of these errors. For example if your prog

As another person said I'd say just go as a tourist with a laptop in your bag. No one cares. What are you doing on the laptop? Reading an article. Skyping with a friend. Checking your emails. Basic standard stuff, no one else's bu

Not at all. I'm not a people person and it distracts and drains me like an illness.
