If there's money to be made (and there is) assume it's getting gamed to some degree.

I like this site as well. I trust them because I feel they are upfront with the level of subjectivity they are introducing. Also, it seems they at least buy and try out the gear.

In general, when a company gets bought out, quality tends to drop. Maybe not immediately, but definitely with time. The new owners have to make back their money and they'll start to cut corners wherever they can. These cuts, even if sm

Legit review sites are pretty much dead. Most of them look and say exacy the same thing. Almost none of them have any objective measurements beyond what's stated already from marketing spec sheets. I've still had strong suspicion

Nice! Hadn't heard of this before. It seems like this is the type of encryption that would be used when a third party needs to verify your data, but you wouldn't want to share it unencrypted.

I'm also on my thirties and having some difficulty with leetcode. Something that has really helped me is Grokking the Coding Interview. It goes through a few patterns for solving algos. I'm not smart enough to figure these patter

Saw the 10K hour thing and just want to give a counter to it. I've been reading Steve Kotlers book, Art of the Impossible and it's been a great read so far. One of the take aways is that mental flow state can really shortcut certa

This. I understand that researching this is a step in the right direction, but am disappointed that there are no good solutions to problems like these because they stem from basic biological functioning at some very deep level and this affe

In otherwords, water is wet. It's very easy to see that tribal behavior is hardwired into the brain. One just has to look at history and current events to see that. I own a sports motorcycle. One of the first things you learn at the tr

I don't think people are stupid, even though they certainly came come across that way. What I've come to realize is most of those people are playing a different game than the one I'm playing. They are optimizing for other thi

Love the idea of encrypting and owning my own data. But here's my question. My encrypted data needs to be unencrypted and read by third parties eventually. What's to stop those third parties from just copying and saving my data,

Nice app! Would be nice to have an option to show more details, kinda like the stats for nerds on YT to show the assumptions being made made. One thing I didn't see is anything related to IRA accounts. As an aside, I've been wanti

Totally depends in the business. Most businesses just don't need ultra low ms response times. Rewriting an app because is too slow is a rather extreme approach. Most of the times it's just a small part of the application that need

The biggest issue I've come across with some documentation is that it comes across as too "academic". Yes, it's very detailed, but doesn't immediately answer a very specific question. One good example is the Angular

I like ACA, but... Hot take: The only reason ACA passed is because the government did not want to foot the entire healthcare bill for our aging boomer generation. So ACA became a way to partially distribute those costs to the rest of the US

I've heard about this before. The very very best are people you've never heard of. Why? Because they spend nearly all their mental resources on perfecting their craft, not writing blogs or marketing themselves online (which is an

I've always been tempted to make things fast, but for what I personally do on a day to day basis, it all lands under the category of premature optimization. I suspect this is the case for 90% of development out there. I will optimize,

I would also add that stock compensation needs to be vested over a longer period. This would help discourage short term thinking.

Yes we want raises that beat inflation. But I think what we really want is a bigger share of the profits a company makes without them raising prices. Unfortunately, Wall Street demands ever growing profit margins and revenues. Meaning tha

This. Slap the golden handcuffs if possible for the most boring work and give employees extra vacation time to recover from that slog and they might not leave. Most people are willing to deal with some BS as long as they feel compensated an

One good thing I can think of is algorithms for interviews. Interviewing can be a grueling process and there's a lot of things to remember. In most jobs, algorithms are really only used during the interview process and not in the actua

I don't see why this is a problem. Those people not only value freedom, but are able to set a long term goal and sacrifice the present for the future. As long as they can do the job effectively, none of that hurts you or I.

I'm shocked at how much negativity there is towards people quitting early just because they can. I sense a lot of this comes from the idea that a well paying job is embedded so deeply in American culture as a status symbol that people

Ideally, SWEs should have a product mindset. In practice, this can be difficult to achieve depending on the company. In my experience at my own job, a lot of the business level stuff is not documented anywhere. This stuff can only be learne

Same for Laravel, although it hasn't grown as much as Rails, the amount of batteries included is amazing. There's very little I've had to reinvent, unlike my Node JS projects, where there's too much time wasted in findin
