Cool idea. However, as an end user, I would prefer not to have to create an account to ask a question.

If the choice were binary you would never learn anything new. I try to do as much as I can on my own, growing my skills where necessary. Once I’ve reached a point where I am satisfied with my learnings, or at the extent of my abilities, I g

Yep. You’re the expert now. You can move on to a different technology/industry in which you are not the expert, seek out new greenfield/white space challenges in your current field, or embrace the opportunity to become a better me

I’ve been there. I felt that I had plateaued in a previous role. I ended up changing companies/industries to try something new. So far, it’s working out well. I’m learning and growing on a more continual basis. It’s important to unders

Americans may have cable, but to what extent? It is cheaper for me to get Internet with basic cable—over-the-air channels—than without. My cable boxes have sat in a closet for the past six years. I stream most content I watch.

Go for it! I made my own cookiecutter template for Django: https://github.com/clintonb/cookiecutter-django . My main goal was to get projects running faster. Updates every 6-12 months are fine. Alternatively, update whe

The trouble with HATEOAS is that it requires extra work on the client. The client is supposed to start at the root of the API, request URLs, and cache them. Getting the data one wants requires multiple HTTP calls, many of which are supposed

Yes. Stripe Billing ( https://stripe.com/billing ) supports recurring invoicing (e.g. subscriptions) and non-recurring invoices.

If your company cannot train junior engineers, perhaps you shouldn’t hire them. Doing does a disservice to all involved.

That's true. I wanted to maintain good continuous delivery practices while minimizing the need to worry about individual resources (e.g. web server, database server, DNS), which is why I opted for Elastic Beanstalk. Then I fell down th

Speed. I’m working on a new personal project. The last project I was on, I took time to write Terraform to deploy to AWS Elastic Beanstalk where I ran Docker containers. It took me two days to get all of that setup, and I consider that time

I avoid subscriptions. My household pays for Amazon and Netflix. We have no other recurring services outside of utilities. If I do sign up for a trial, I add a calendar reminder to cancel the service a day before the trial expires.

By no means am I making large amounts of money. I get about $1 per day from photos on Adobe Stock. I have a portfolio of about 300-400 images taken over the past 8 years. Every so often I’ll upload some new shots. About 1-2 times a year I’l

Take away all the frills and you’re just a contractor. The past two organizations I’ve worked at forked the open source libraries we modified. If upstream didn’t want our changes, so be it. That said, we generally tried to communicate with

You assume that is the only problem in the deploy. That assumption seems to have been correct. However, what if another bug had been found that requires a rollback from B to A? Now your rollback will result in a bunch of dead services until

I find it ironic that you posed this question on a forum with many anonymous pseudo-experts. The solution, in my expert opinion, is to teach people to think critically and use multiple trusted sources to gather information.

I also had a similar idea for a project that tracked changes so citizens could see exactly which representative changed a bill. The OpenGovFoundation built Madison[0] to enable the public to comment on bills, but that project has been shutt

You may want to rethink the assumption that coffee shops/restaurants “just work”. Like tech startups, many restaurants don’t last long. Here’s and older study on restaurants: https://www.perrygroup.com/foodservice-exper

Don’t underestimate inertia. I’ve worked with Python and Django for seven years. I know the libraries in the ecosystem. I know the framework. It’s far easier for me to start a project with Django than to learn another framework or language.

Hacker News, Reddit, and Twitter already do this for me. I have no need for another social network.

Using ES5 is not irresponsible, but your justification comes across as petty. If you had claimed your workflows and toolchains all rely on ES5, and you don’t/can’t invest in changing now, I would understand. Syntax? Get over it! Langua
