The use of setTimeout makes this an animation, not a chain of events.

Great work on PostGraphQL. Easy to setup, and well documented. I'm going to start doing some load testing, I'll let you know what I find.

Code review is typically how I structure my interviews. I try not to ask arbitrary comp-sci questions, but instead provide the candidate with a block of code and ask them to provide a comprehensive code review (usually through a github pr).

While I understand where you are coming from, I don't see how your comment adds anything to the conversation. If you don't have senior staff then you are going to have a host of other problems as well.

Postgrest is one of the most underrated projects out right now for automating api creation. Easy to work with, reliable, and scalable. It motivated me to learn Haskell also.

I love working in environments like this. I can say hands down they were my most productive years as a programmer. Quality code review is the single most important trait of a high performing senior programmer.

As a kickstarter backer of oculus, and someone who was recruited heavily by Oculus to build the Oculus store, fuck that company. They have repeatedly shown disdain for their original backers who try to hold them accountable to their constan

There is no technical solution to a lack of empathy. At a certain point a culture just has to look in the mirror and come to grips with its own failures.

That is exactly what happened. The company is now imploding because the entirety of senior engineering staff has resigned over the last two weeks. One of our founders left herself logged in on a QA device, needless to say the entire team go

I recently had a manager say the same thing to me about Slack. The founders were apparently trolling the tech channels and my name didn't come up enough. Mostly because I was busy working and not incessantly spamming giphy nonsense. Ne

Really inspiring work. I have always loved working on cars, and the potential to marry that with my profession is exciting. I'm really looking forward a future where I have ownership and control over my cars operating system to the sam

I write A LOT of javascript. I would not discourage you from learning it at all, in fact I highly encourage it if you are starting out. HOWEVER... You really need to understand the limitations of the language. It is poorly designed. It is i

Going forward I am now blaming entropy, and not crappy contractors, for destroying my work. You have now allowed me to shift a huge burden of antagonistic feelings from human beings onto the fundamental nature of the universe. I can now be

Dude you are my hero. I look forward to the day that I can sit in my car with my friends, smoking something, watching a movie, and letting the self driving vehicle wander around LA while we look for interesting places to stop and explore. I

I love that video. There is nothing offensive in the video, I think he does a pretty good job explaining how bat shit ridiculous javascript is. If you are writing js professionally and haven't already come to terms with that and the ex

I have said this about many websites recently, but design/front-end dev teams have to to justify their existence through constant "progress". However you choose to define progress is up to you, but when your boss asks you abo

I had this discussion the other day with a junior engineer in regards to web assembly and the need for more stable compile targets than javascript. I think a big part of the problem is that web developers have forgotten (or never learned) a

I can't find it on google so it must be false... This person is talking about an ex uber employee who was hired as COO at hopskipdrive. The terms of his "resignation" were confidential, because the truth is pretty embarassing

The oculus cv1 was so unimpressive after using the vive that I ebayed mine (to some dude in china for $1400) within 2 hours of recieving it (for free thank god). The product has not evolved since the kickstarter project, all facebook has do
