What happened to coding for joy in your free time? At work I do whatever the company wants as long as I get my money at the end of the month. Java? Sure boss. Golang? Let’s do it. LLMs? Whatever you want. TDD? Yep. At home I still plan and

Pair programming exhausts me. When I write code alone, I usually have breaks every 20 minutes or so. I go for a short walk after 1h. I look out of the window every now and then. Sometimes I put some background music. When I’m doin pair pro

In my case: I don’t have that many TODOs. For instance, I clean home twice per week, on Mondays and Thursdays. Don’t need to write it down anywhere. I have perhaps 2 or 3 doctor appointments per year (and they are usually within a few weeks

I used to take my phone with me all the time (I used to have an iphone mini). The current models are too big. They are nice when i’m on the sofa surfing the web, but a hassle to take then in my pocket

I expressed myself wrong. I do purchase tickets online. Then I just remember the day. No calendar. I don’t take advantage of the digital assets (email confirmation, etc)

by dakiol 1y ago
Right. I meant I don’t make use of such digital assets. They are there because of tech giants, but i just don’t gain much from them.

It's an opinion based on countless of references and books out there. I cannot cite them, but it's like "code should be designed to depend on abstract interfaces instead of a concrete implementation", "everything is

Good idea. We should also let customer service write code from time to time, so they get familiarized with how the product is built and get a sense of what's feasible and what's not.

> devs don't really understand how the customers use the product or why At the risk of overgeneralizing, I think we do understand, but we just don't sympathize. Either because the product is trying to trik the customers into bu

If there’s something worse than a gitlab-ci.yaml file that is a dynamically-generated gitlab-ci.yaml file.

Most of the tech infrastructure out there is over engineered. At least based on my experience.

It’s not old school, it’s actually solid design. I have worked too with people that think the frontend or even services should guide the design/architecture of the whole thing. Seems tempting and it has the initial impression that it w

I'm brushing up with Python for a new job, and boy what a ride. Not because of the language itself but the tooling around packages. I'm coming from Go and TS/JS and while these two ecosystems have their own pros and cons, at

I always thought about picking up some physically demanding job on weekends (like carrying boxes or something like that). It would serve me as exercise and I would get paid. Problem is i’m picky about the timing (e.g., not early in the morn

Regarding the job market: it really depends on you mostly. If you know you are better than the average then you'll get a job. I did quit my job at the beginning of the year with nothing lined up (but for different reasons than yours).

I did "open source" my static site generator. No forks, no stars, no PRs. I removed it from github since the only one who's taking advantage of it is probably Microsoft.

I used to think like that too (because it seems like rational thinking and nobody around me could prove me wrong). But as I get older I start to think about the things I’m putting “aside” for when I have time when I’m retired. Doesn’t sound

It’s a bit trickier than that imho because Hard work doesn’t guarantee results either. And since, as you said, life isn’t fair, we are faced to… randomness. True story, working hard/intelligently does buy us some tickets to a decent li

In my experience, these kind of channels end up being filled with complaints about the company/processes/managers/c-levels… (ofc, managers are not invited to these private channels) Like, if the ceo said something very stupid

Indeed, or a PDF. When one study these topics is way easier to do so via PDFs for example: you bookmark the page and continue tomorrow. If it’s HTML, you need to bookmark too, but this is a hassle since bookmarking creates an entry in your

Honestly, in the long term the world would be a better place without Microsoft, Google and Facebook.

You’re technically right. But it’s disappointing that that’s the normal state of affairs.

I don't contribute to vim precisely, but I do contribute to other open source projects. So, I do like to keep this balance between making open source tools better over time and using paid alternatives. I don't think that's po
