As I own "old" hardware - iPhone 7; MBA (2017) i5/8GB/256; iPad Air (3rd gen) - I always use a blank page as both start page and new tab. I've found the overhead in processing the "smart" widgets/li

My advice would be to practise making up small imaginative stories for everyday things you see around the house - how did the salt and pepper shakers meet? By coming up with ideas on the spot you'll soon be able to "fill" sto

They've been a reliable provider both in Ireland and roaming abroad so I'm hesitant to switch. I always use a VPN anyway so the Relay situation is not a massive deal breaker for me.

Only after breaking my right arm (for the second time) - the humerus bone - did I connect the dots as to why it's called "the funny bone". I was in my mid-20s :-)

I have a story of a hack from my time in the streaming audio industry. I worked for a company who opened up their API to audio hardware manufacturers to allow integration with our streaming service. One particular company had a rigorous tes

I'm building my first solo MVP using Falcon. The product will be REST API only with the exception of signup/payment pages, although a friend is helping with that in Laravel, as webdev is his thing. For hosting I'll use Hetzn

It's becoming more common to see footnotes in adverts like that in general. As an example, Discogs.com [0] explictly states the states where you can remote from. "This is a remote position. Open to candidates located in OR, WA, C

I've worked on a team which rotated the "daily support" tasks, which included on-call duty during those 7 days. They were in effect excluded from the sprint during that week. It was also a company who was trying to shoehorn e

One added bonus of having a limited selection to pick from was the quicker decision making time. With thousands of options via streaming services some of us become paralysed by choice!

Developers rarely use XCode out of choice, at least from the iOS devs I know. It also opens up the potential for development on non-Apple equipment if the CI can handle builds.

One could argue that being at FAANG provides far more income than 95% of other tech jobs, so OP might have a significantly larger financial cushion before they need to worry about the next paycheque. This alone excludes most people from qui

You likely use Netflix because you can afford it. Would you still pick Netflix over torrents if it cost €100/month? When I was a young teenager I used to rip CDs from the local library (who could get almost any CD in a week if ordered)
