I recently did exactly this, so here's my experience. Your circumstances might be different so I will frame this as my experience rather than specific advice for you. For some context, we had no family close by for help, but we both ha

In the case of static HTML/JS/CSS, the webserver will make the source publicly available to your browser anyway, so that's not really an issue.

I had more or less exactly the same idea, and my starting point is a script that downloads a page, runs it through Mozilla's Readability library (which Firefox uses for reader mode), converts to Markdown and saves to file. Thinking abo

I have a very vivid memory of following a tutorial for Game Maker which guided you through building an Asteroids clone. There was a section on programming the gun, where you had a variable canShoot which is set to false after each shot and

The Imposter (2012). It almost feels like a spoiler to tell you it's a documentary, the story is so incredibly gripping and the performances so great you get sucked in completely and forget that the lead isn't actually the hero.

Not quite all of what you're after but you might enjoy But How Do It Know?, which can fairly easily be found in PDF form if you do a Google search.

This was a great read, I love all great Feynman stories. This quote really stood out for me >Because even when Richard didn't understand, he always seemed to understand better than the rest of us. And whatever he understood, he coul

Ooh interesting constraint. The Goal: A Business Graphic Novel[1] is just a little over 100 pages but very easy to read in a single sitting so surely still counts. It's more-or-less the same as the full novel, which is what inspired Th

I opened your page and didn't expect the game to start right away, and then didn't notice the small dull text in the bottom right explaining it. Might want to start with a dialogue or modal. Also I'm not sure if this is inten

The desire from Western governments to pin all of the blame on China seems staggering to me. Even if it were true that a lab leak triggered the pandemic, the appalling response by most governments is clearly the cause of the majority of the

The privacy of current tracking methods (3rd party cookies) is bad, which is why a lot of browser vendors are starting to block 3rd party cookies by default. FLoC may be marginally better than 3rd party cookies, but still browser vendors ar

I think it's difficult to give advice on code review in isolation of the rest of your development process - code review is but one small piece in a good workflow. I'll describe what has worked best for me in the past. My team are

I think this starts with the title, "Signs of an Immature Software Developer". This immediately puts the reader on the defensive, because nobody wants to be called or considered immature. If a junior developer were to read this an

I think this is missing a critical step - the candidate needs a way to see the result. I don't necessarily trust a random recruiter to be honest when they tell me "Oh yeah 100% it said we're compatible." Could you make a

It's a rough feeling for sure, I feel for you. I went through a similar phase for a couple of years adding features that weren't really necessary to software that ran in the background at a handful of customers that already did mo
