Damn. That is impressive.

Not myself, but I've seen a bunch of examples folks have posted on Twitter, and to be fair, they were all surprisingly accurate. As far as I understand it, though, these explanations are based on similar code contained in the training

I spent several years creating and maintaining a large, proprietary build system for a Linux-based operating system at a previous gig. Much of userspace was C/C++, and thus used CMake. To further complicate things, most of userspace ne

I know some people are comfortable writing blog posts as markdown files and publishing to e.g. GitHub Pages via Jekyll/Hugo/etc., but that's too much friction for me. What little motivation I have to write dissipates quickly

I think you seriously underestimate the value of job satisfaction and its effects on productivity. I would also say that dev environments can be “streamlined” and “repeatable” while allowing for personal choice of editor and whatever other

Idealism? Hardly. The fact that anyone thinks that Mighty needs to exist signals a problem with the entire web and/or app development ecosystem, in my opinion. We should be talking about ways to either 1) make it possible to develop pe

Mighty is such a great example of attacking the symptom(s) of the problem ("Chrome/the web is slow") rather than the root cause (rampant page size/complexity bloat, inefficient use of RAM/CPU, etc.). What a waste of

I converted to vim from TextMate, I dunno, something like 10-12 years ago? I've used neovim, specifically, for the last couple years. I think the thing that originally hooked me were Drew Neil's Vimcasts[1]. I do agree with others

Meh. I agree with the sentiment, but in practice, I’m not sure we’re there yet. Maybe once Rust has a more robust standard library and less language-level churn we’ll be there. If you’re writing something safety-critical, sure, use a memory

IMHO, keep doing what you're doing! Not much better than being beholden to no one but yourself. I don't think it's weird at all to want to keep that going. Personally, I'm pretty inclined to shy away from VC unless it&#x

It's not hard to understand why some people think it's terrible, but I've always adored this movie. I think it was maybe my first experience with anything “cyberpunk.” Looking forward to watching this black and white version.

I'm impatient and easily frustrated as well. But I've learned to kind of lean into my frustration as a motivator when learning new things. I try to spend time learning things that interest me personally, and when that happens to o

I dunno. I call bullshit on almost all of these tips. Not all developers are awkward, socially-inept, and incapable of designing their way out of a paper bag. I find that to be a really tired stereotype these days. I’d say: if you want to b

I'm surprised more folks in this thread haven't mentioned Campfire. I thought Campfire was excellent for its time. I didn't see a real product-focused reason why Slack should have won out, but it undoubtedly had better market

It was pretty obvious based on the ads I was seeing while looking at my mail. They allegedly stopped doing this in 2017: https://variety.com/2017/digital/news/google-gmail-ads-email...

After seeing Gmail harvest my messages for ads, I started hosting my own email server. It was fun for a time, but got awful tedious, so I switched to Fastmail. They’ve been great. Haven’t looked back.

Something I miss in particular about Heroku's git-push-to-deploy experience is that you'd know whether the build/deploy succeeded by the time the push finished. Modern “GitOps”-based deployments that rely on webhooks or polli

by cjk 4y ago
What I took away from the post is not that Heroku no longer works like that, but that it's a sinking ship, and thus not advisable to use any longer.

I wouldn't say it's _never_ OK to have a multi-page résumé, but as a hiring manager/interviewer I do strongly prefer one-pagers. I never penalize or reject candidates based on having a multi-page résumé, but I tend to see a s

I can’t recommend Fastmail enough. I used to host my own email server after moving off of Google Apps back in the day, and I don’t miss it at all. Fastmail is reliable and affordable, has great customer service, and supports the sieve langu
