Webster [1] traces the source of the word “character” to theater where it was used as an emblem of the reputation of someone or a group of people, similar to how you would recognize the brand name engraved into a thing. The interpretation t

GraphQL eliminates the n+1 problem for the client by pushing it to the server. Generally, the client<->backend connection is slow and spiky, and the backend<->db connection is fast and stable, so this trade-off made sense for

Absolutely. The #1 competence for the business person at the nascent stage is sales. If you are great at this, almost nothing else matters. Growth fixes most problems. As PG wrote, “…if you get growth, everything else tends to fall into pla

Big fails from small things are common. A few recent examples off the top of my head - 1. Bing.com had an issue whereby attackers could inject XSS code to all visitors, due to a simple misconfiguration in Azure. 2. Visual Studio Code

I reached the same conclusion: modals are excellent at helping people quickly dive into multiple items on the list while keeping their main mental context in the listing view. I call it "Hummingbird mode" - zoom in, zoom out, ju

I understand the reasoning, and YouTrack will fail the open-source test. I mention it as an option because we needed a self-hosted project management platform (for regulatory reasons), and I could not find any open-source options that I c

If you need/want self-hosting, and something more comprehensive, I recommend YouTrack ( https://www.jetbrains.com/youtrack/ ) as an excellent replacement for self-hosted Jira&co. It's not open source, but i

The “lottery” framing is the normalized and gentle way of asking “What’s our plan for when Stripe / OpenAI offers them a $1M/yr Staff role but only if they start immediately?” Think about the great engineers you’ve met, and how ma

You might be right, and my initial assessment is incorrect. The real reason why HTTP2 doesn't solve the loading problem with many files is the depth of imports across all dependencies - the browser loads the entry file, sees its impo

by e1g 3y ago
HTTP2 improves on that bottleneck but not as much as expected. I'm struggling to find relevant benchmarks now, but anecdotally even on localhost when using a dev pipeline without a bundler (such as Vite), any reasonably complex applica

And that reminds me of the rebuttal: such "embedding/blessing" of libraries would give them a considerable tailwind and stifle innovation. Suppose React/styled-components/Apollo/Highcharts is already available

by e1g 3y ago
You still need a bundler because browsers will process only ~6 HTTP requests at a time, so if your code (with all dependencies) has many JS files you will be throttled by that limit real quick. HTTP2/3 makes parallel fetching more effi

JuiceFS is mostly POSIX compatible, but there are important caveats such as no extended ACL, copying files changes their mtime (impacts backup tools), it offers "close-to-open" consistency (dangerous for log appenders), etc. Cho

It is that simple, but the question comes up early from recruiters and first round interviewers, not the hiring manager. If you are honest, you get disqualified at the gate. If you say “yes” to these folks, and it works, the first thing you

I'm in that situation in NYC, which is roughly comparable. The author quotes ~$190k I'd peg it at ~$250k, but both are in the ballpark. Health insurance is another ~$35-40k on top.

“Risk management” involves nuanced trade-offs that are often specific to the business/owner/clients triad. Rarely there is a clear option that is strictly better, otherwise there wouldn’t exist options, and to know the subtleties
