Terrifyingly complicated and buzzword packed. I really don't know what to make of any of this or what it does, and I work with AI applications in my day job. I'm guessing the $300 of Google Cloud credit offered in this webpage wou

Wasn’t network. Skillset definitely but it’s nothing niche - typescript, node, react and some relevant domain experience.

Read everything DHH wrote, he has lots of insights on this. Scroll down to his books: https://dhh.dk I found Lean Startup to be very good too.

I’ve heard from people in hiring that often 490/500 of those candidates will be from India and often aren’t actually eligible for the job. Just apply, it’s partly a numbers game.

Not my experience (did job hunt a couple of months back). Standards are quite high, and the economy obviously isn’t great, but it’s not as bad as that. I have found signal to noise on LinkedIn to be quite bad now but that’s specific to that

Speed, I guess? Although I use tailwind on all my projects and not once have I thought "oh boy, development is so slow because of tailwind, I sure wish it was implemented in a compiled language!"

I feel for the author, and influencers have a lot to answer for. Through a lot of this article I was thinking about next.js, another tech you almost have to know to get hired these days, and how much I dislike it for a myriad of reasons, an

No. You really don't. Come on, burden of proof, show us where the GDPR says functional cookies require a banner?

You're being obtuse. With those points I could argue the US isn't a single market either! 1. California has 10 million Spanish speakers 2. Every state has its own regulations and legislation (and taxes!) But I don't think you

> EEA, despite decades of EU efforts, is not a single market. Huh? It really is. There's free trade and free movement of labour. How is it not a single market?

It's not: in the formula they posted, phi is the "passthrough from tariffs to import prices". That's where the country's own tariffs are factored in. Or am I reading this wrong?

I worked with react before typescript, react with flow, angular 1 (large projects), and these days I mostly use react with typescript. I don’t use it for css, but for the view components and code I find typescript actually makes me both fas

This is what they're replacing react with: https://nuejs.org/docs/view.html It's an untyped view layer kind of along the lines of early angular 2.0. The model files are plain javascript. So no typings anywher

I'm not sure that makes sense to me; how do society's moral rules change (slowly) but peoples' moral rules don't/change little? I mean I can think of some isolated examples like pirating video content, but generally

I'm still using ChatGPT heavily for a lot of my day-to-day, across multiple projects and random real life tasks. I'm interested in giving Claude and Gemini a good at some point; where is Gemini's tooling lacking, generally?

> People do not change all that much morally This is debatable. In fact, the US culture war is absolutely about what American "morality" should be. It's what a lot of the Project 2025 Manifesto is about: "The document

Eh, more the wider cultural effects of them. Vibe coding, everyone now creating kitchen sink apps that do everything under the sun, k8s everywhere, agents everywhere. It feels like a big part of the industry has lost all focus and is sprint
