It's not that it can't do anything, it's that you have to actually implement things at a lower level. I mean, Gatsby doesn't have any backend CMS out of the box so that's the most obvious thing. If you want to use

I'll look into that, thanks. I need to design the technical solution I am going to use for client work and I want it to be as cutting edge as possible without being a nightmare to maintain.

I just built my first site in Gatsby ( https://pubgood.dev/ ) and I honestly missed WordPress. Gatsby just doesn't take care of enough stuff without having to install a bunch of other solutions. I'm not sure of the

It really just depends on where you're interviewing. A lot of places that hire software engineers don't ask algorithmic questions at all. It's really impossible to generalize about most aspects of this career in my opinion. T

I agree with this. I've known some people who've been coding for 15-20 years who just coast, and end up in senior positions because of how long they've been employed when their skills are really at the level of a 2 year junio

It’d get picked up by binary scanning tools. “Why did your ipa triple in size?” Plus I doubt Mozilla is in the mode to burn months of programmers time on a stunt right now.

Hey, thanks for these comments. I was wondering, if someone wanted to do a deep dive into consulting especially for government agencies, and has little to no sales experience do you know of any books that are really good?

Yes, but it's always there as an option if the lawyer doesn't do what they want them to. Also, you can get in this kind of trouble for criminal charges unrelated to work done at your day job. I've known lawyers who got into t

In the U.S. only a very small percentage of lawyers ever get to the point where they make $250 an hour, and even if they do they only have a certain amount of years they can earn that much then if they don't make partner at whatever fi

I've been using Reddit since 2009 (after the Digg exodus for ironically - a bad redesign.), and the biggest change I've noticed (aside from the terrible single page app they switched over to) is how massively popular schadenfreude

This is a reasonable response - I definitely think blockchain is interesting but like I said, it's in need of some major additional refinement before it becomes practical. >But cryptocurrency allows us to design systems that don&#x2

The environment described in this article is horrifying and definitely sounds worse than our current financial system. That person just lost $12k to fraud and has no recourse at all. I agree with the other comments on here. Blockchain/

This comment thread is so funny to me because Jira is actually the least unpleasant of all the enterprise software I'm forced to use at my job (lots of Microsoft stuff) so by comparison it's actually fine.

I agree with you in principle - but these UI updates were basically just refreshing the UX that already existed with a similar aesthetic look. They didn't disable the windowing system or make any other big changes in how the interface

That's an interesting point, I didn't think about that. Plus, the extra padding would make more sense then. Maybe they are planning on adding it.

Agree - I think there's a silent majority thing going on here. Because I only saw negative comments on any thread I looked at about this. That's what prompted me to comment in the first place. Clearly, a lot of people do agree (or

If they were going to do this, they would have done it when they needed a big new feature and instead they put out the touch bar. Apple's answer to people who want something like this is the iPad Pro with the adaptive cursor and the ke

I agree, any change will be frowned upon. It just annoys me that I feel like they're drawing the completely wrong conclusions. Apple was the company that dropped the headphone jack from their phone, shipped a laptop with only USB-C por

I have to be honest and go completely against the crowd here - but I think the UI updates are very good. They make the two OSes look cohesive but in a tasteful way. The extra padding in all of the UI is the only thing that I chafe at a litt

The name "Facebook Gaming" seems really bad branding to me. That would be like calling Instagram "Facebook Photos" or something. It just doesn't fit at all. At least Mixer had some name ID and some high profile stre

The keys that the touchbar replaced were definitely not useless - they were media control, sound control, screen/keyboard brightness and expose/mission control/launchpad (and of course, ESC.) Those are all extremely common ke
