I second this recommendation. It's not a recipe book but gives a great overall view for everything you should know about the it roles from dev to CTO and it covers the manager/tech lead path very well.

For personal use I personally like the office suite. Bloat, but everything works without tinkering. My use case with CMS is business related. I'm looking for a solution that can handle millions of documents and folders, versioning file

I agree, thank you for the correction. In this context what I mean by stateless is a function call that only depends on the input - given the same starting position it will always produce the same result. In real world what messes up this

My biggest takeaway was something I never before thought was even possible - to create a program without any variables. It turns out you can do a whole lot without any variables. Through that I understood that the state of a program what ca

I think this is the right set of values for going in to academics again. Years correlate less with the ability to go to uni, life and financials are the decisive factors. You won't fit if you have two kids and mortgage. A wise woman I

Firewood is quite complicated. You have to use special machines to get it out of the forest, chainsaws to log it, a large amount of manual labor to make it into the small pieces that can actually fit into a furnace and you should wait 1-2 y

I had the same problem and found that the extreme was the only thing that worked for me. What I mean is that for like 3 months make your first priority to work out. Not your second or your "one-of-the-important-ones" priority. You

Well, depends. If you do any kind of application which 1. Needs more than one programmer 2. The domain of the program is not the expertise of the programmers Then you need someone to talk with the domain experts. Ideally someone who can com

Yes they do. They chime in with the business requirements and explains the tickets they created from a business perspective. They also asks for rough estimates and we have a chance to actually shoot down stupid shit. They leans on us 100% f

I usuall call this "meta-programming" or "meta-work". The work you need to do in order to make way for actual work.

I guess they won't, in the same way we are much worse at remembering information in the era of search engines. They will be profient in telling the AI the exact words it needs to produce the correct code output. No one will be good in
