Write your congressperson. The SWAT team probably gets funding from the Department of Homeland Security to “combat terrorism”. Clearly the terrorists have moved online, so perhaps some security funding should go there, too.

The poster was being sarcastic. There is almost zero chance that Boeing loses [US] orders to a Chinese manufacturer. The tariffs in that sector are too high, and the trust in Chinese manufacturing is too low. Even switching from Boeing to A

That's not quite true. The USB-C port is pretty strong relative to MagSafe. Depending on the surface where my laptop is resting, the laptop will move before the cable detaches.

Simpler (for users) would be using OAuth 2.0 and APIs with proper permissions. Users shouldn't need two sets of credentials.

Location matters. $140K in a low cost of living area is not the same as $140 in the Bay Area.

No. There are plenty more jobs outside of tech. Other skills are in demand and pay well. The US currently has a plumber shortage. A cursory Google search shows median salaries around $60K.

That's great that you have enough time and experience to consider all of this easy. As someone who works a bit higher up the stack, I rarely go as deep as configuring Nginx. This setup may take you a few minutes, but I usually end up s

Maintenance is my primary concern. I deal with software for a living. I want my blog to just work without me having to worry about maintaining the VM. Netlify makes this dead simple. I used to host Wordpress sites for myself and family memb

Project scale and scope. edX does most of its development in public repos. Not all of the features and functionality are used by every open source user. The scale of edX’s user base is so much larger than others’ that edX finds issues well

Agreed. We built cookiecutter templates at edX for the basic Django service and Ansible playbook. We built shared libraries for OAuth and other shared functionality. That said, much of this did not come into place until we were on the third

This depends on what you are releasing, and how much support you’re willing to offer to the community. For example, the microservices and libraries I worked on at edX were used by the Open edX community, but rarely at the scale at which edX

I agree that the adapter pattern is great; however, getting a library to the state where it can be adapted requires either forethought or later refactoring. If this is done too early in the life of the project, the creator runs the risk of

Forget the contacts. People willingly gave Facebook their email passwords. Did Facebook also accidentally upload users' emails? Why would Yandex (from the screenshot) even permit this?

"Side company" as in one you run yourself? Maybe, if it's relevant to your field, and you actually worked on/released a product. If it's just hobby projects, I don't see that being as relevant.
