Previous generations were much less likely to have crippling student loans, for one thing. So they weren’t starting in the hole.

Yup. Late 30s here, pretty decent chunk of savings, and still don’t expect to ever be able to retire in anything approaching comfort. Social security and Medicare will be gutted by the time our generation reaches what was once considered re

Do you have a citation for the bit about foxes being skinned alive? (It's not that I necessarily doubt it, but I would hate to be misinformed about it in either direction.)

Note that although many people do use their registrar's name servers, registrar != nameserver. DNS can be hosted elsewhere than the registrar.

No. The culture became too toxic.

My experience with ISPs is that your address isn’t static enough that you’d what to attach DNS to it, but it does persist for several days at a time. I had one cable provider that changed up IPs every week, but most seem to change only when

A framework is useful especially if you’re not a visual designer. Most will make some basic decisions for you about relative sizing and spacing, and also help maintain visual consistency.

This isn’t about it being their social life. Stripping in front of an employee and then retaliating when she won’t engage with you sexually is not “social life”.

You don’t just “get a girlfriend”. Usually having a girlfriend involves being a decent enough human being in the first place that a woman would want to spend time with you. This CEO was clearly a dickhead (in every sense of the term), and I

As a pedestrian walking on already crowded sidewalks, I loathe sharing the sidewalk with scooters - even entirely people-powered ones. That extra speed makes them scary and dangerous, and the people riding them never seem to be considerate

Back before google analytics, we did 90% of what it does using software that parsed server logs. I’m sure there are still plenty of tools out there that do that.

How would it know how to capitalize them correctly? Tiny example: Mackenzie vs MacKenzie (yes, both exist; and no, they’re not interchangeable).

A few thoughts: 1) you are not your code. When you're doing a code review, you're critiquing the code, not the person. 2) critique is not the same thing as criticism. Yes, I was taught to criticize privately, but critique is fre

If we wanted contractors, we’d be looking for contractors. Contractors are easier to find and in some ways lower risk. So if we’re looking for full time rather than contractors, it’s for a good reason. Usually something to do with culture,

And yet it’s not the case everywhere. Most women have passed through at least one workplace with a misogynistic culture. But there are also workplaces out there where women are treated professionally. I know because I’m a woman and have wor

When there isn’t much to coordinate, it’s difficult to see the value day by day. And yes, you could probably miss one or two without much impact. But go a week straight without any standups and coordination will fall apart. The left hand w

It’s very politically convenient to confuse the veterans who endangered (or gave up) their lives to serve in the military with the military-industrial complex and the hawkish political factions.

Yup, sounds like you’ve got the right mindset in that regard. Pick something to focus on and learn to be highly productive with it at a professional level. Once you have expertise in one thing, you’ll find it transfers well to other languag

Some of this is startup vs corporate needs. Corporate employment doesn’t always prepare one well for the agility and initiative needed by a startup (rather, corporations seem to pound those qualities out of employees). The good news is that

Like anything else, GP’s advice is context-sensitive. In this case, it scales with experience. If you just came out of a bootcamp and claim to know 3 backend languages, or have less than 3 years experience and list more than a half dozen la

Given that those narrow residential streets are typically home to lots of kids, and that the speed limit on them is 25MPH, I hope you were driving not just under 45 but under 30.

More dangerous to drivers (especially those inclined to drive at dangerous speeds), maybe. More dangerous for pedestrians? I'm not sure about that -- especially if nobody's obeying the limit in the first place, getting drivers
