I'd be curious to know what project you are working on that requires Geo coding?

Looking for a technical co-founder in SF or Remote to take https://configrd.io from an open source project to SaaS and beyond. If you are interested in writing tooling for fellow engineers and improving the devops and infosec la

If your want to version secrets, environment variables and code together... you can, just make sure to use a proper solution such as http://configrd.io .

I didn't want to jump in with this earlier since comfy is the main topic here but https://configrd.io will do the inheritance you are asking about. It's not cli but also has an API, handles secrets and deploys on prem.

I'm sorry people, but one job posting != one job opening. That position was taken before it was even posted. Posting the job is purely a legal formality. There is either an internal candidate already identified or there is a h1b candid

That is interesting. I adore Neopolitan pizza and have always considered it better than anything else. However, judging by the ratio of "regular" pizza places vs Neopolitan pizzerias it would seem i'm in a minority. I was nev

No, I meant literally junior developers who join organizations fresh and are immediately steered towards VS Code, Atom, Sublime by their organization and not even provided Eclipse/IntelliJ as an option.

Coming from an enterprise background and having used Eclipse and IntelliJ for many years, I am honestly puzzled by the current trend in IDEs such as VS Code, Atom, etc. given their lack of fully features refactoring support, code search whi

There is a whole category of systems (rule engines, BRMS) dedicated executing and more importantly managing predicate logic in a way that business user's can understand and maintain. Just one example from the Java space: https:/&

Interesting, I actually found the $89 a bargain given how long it will take to just create accounts on all these services before I can submit anything. That alone will take hours. My worry is just that this service will quickly get marked a

Interestingly, I have never really used algo questions in my hiring. I also have never worked in companies where any fundamental innovation in computer science takes place but rather we need strong application developers who understand part

Thanks for the feedback. Luckily I do have some autonomy and can onboard who I feel is a strong candidate. It's more when I participate in hiring for other teams and object to certain candidates that I just want to slap my palm to my f

Personally I am a big believer in mentoring and growing people at their place of work, can't speak for others. The candidates I don't want however are those who display no interest in their profession outside of their direct work

Just like in 1906, it won't be the earthquake that kills the most people but the resulting fires. Think of the forest fires that burnt down Santa Rosa. In a dense city like SF, it will only take the fire spreading to a few adjacent blo

You don't get promoted by staying at a company. You get promoted by leaving for companies who value you more.

I have been on 3 - 4 "large" projects. My definition of large = $100+M budget with 400+ ppl working. 3 of the 4 projects failed altogether and were cancelled after about a year for blowing both budget and timeline. The large proje

Find a way to do both! It's how companies get started. For your clients, do ONLY what YOU have to do and outsource the rest. Maybe all YOU really need to do for them is project management, requirements, UX specs etc... Do you really ne

QBasic, Pascal, C++, VBScript, PHP, Java, Scala, Python I don't believe this ordering has anything to do with the languages themselves but rather rather the projects I needed to get done at the time.

I spent a decade both as a "gig" consultant and as a "real" consultant. Here are the differences I saw between the two. "Gig" consulting - You are a skillset for hire or the client is simply short on ppl to do

I only had about 3 years of work experience when I decided to take up my MS, something that also helped my VISA application. There are different MS degrees out there and I chose one with lots of applied subjects rather than theoretical&#x2F

I too didn't have an undergrad in CS but was pretty comfortable as a web dev and sys admin. I ended up getting a MS in Computer Science which definitely took my career to the next level. What I discovered was that while my day job had

I was always a find of the Foundation framework instead of Boostrap for this very reason. Much faster iteration cycles.
