For majority of backend web project, in 2019, there should be nearly no technical advantage re: one language over another among all the popular ones. (i.e. the ones you listed: PHP, Ruby, Python. I would argue to use pure nodejs over Typesc

Consider learning to cut your own hair with scissors if your hair type allows it. I've done haircuts for myself for 15 years with only a pair of thinning scissors. I have never once used a clipper. I'm Asian with straight hair so

My previous company hired a lot from bootcamps (specifically Hack Reactor). For a dev team of < 15 people, we had at least a handful of them from bootcamps. I was one of the senior engineers and interviewers on the team so I was part of

I have a similar setup to ryandrake (GP) where I just keep my phone on silent 24/7 (not DND, not sure what the difference is, maybe DND also stops some notifs from coming through at all). I like this better than turning off all notific

I took the Coast Starlight (connects SF and LA) a couple of times in the past 10 years, and I have had a pleasant experience each time. Food was good and while the train wasn't sparkling clean, at least in the areas I cared about (my s

I'm not advocating for any of Telegram, Signal, or any of FB's suite of apps, just noting an observation from someone at my age group. Most/all of my non-tech-savvy friends and relatives wouldn't even have heard of Teleg

Wow! When I saw "image map" on the title I thought this can't actually be talking about the HTML image map. Image map reminds me of HTML from the late 90s, and give me a good nostalgia of making personal homepages from that t

Conversely, bulk buying saves money -- you buy toilet paper and paper towels in bulk, buy a bag of 20 lbs of rice instead of 2 lbs at a time, etc. So it probably depends on the individual's financial situation and where a car ride fall

I linked your site on our slack to ask about opinions, and was surprised (not pleasantly or unpleasantly, just neutrally so :) to see that Slack can identify the app even though I haven't installed anything yet: https://i.im

It's the opposite. The obligation to take care of your parents is definitely more pronounced in eastern households. See filial piety [1]. I'm Chinese and grew up in both Asia and the US. First of all, wealthy Chinese is a pretty s

I know this sounds like a light hearted joke and maybe a hyperbole to you right now OP (you mentioned on a comment trying for kids but not yet), but this is 100% true. I became a parent last year and nothing else in my life had kept me so b

The question is a bit weird to me because the things you suggest seem like what you would do before you even apply. But when you say "before they take a job there", it seems to imply after the interview, and offer on hand. When yo

I understand that from a protocol perspective this is more open, so your data is not going into another silo like Signal etc. From a consumer standpoint, isn't it still true that you still need to get people to use the new client(s)? (

If you go this route, you could also just dual boot on the same machine. No need to buy separate hardware :)

I think throwaway-1283 isn't necessarily wrong, the author herself said as much -- she chose to forego a relationship for now and focus on side projects. Kids take even more time than just a relationship. Not as a challenge to you, but

As others mentioned, there's a variety of products to handle these by now for corporations and startups. I'm actually more interested in the same question but for personal projects where you don't want to pay or pay no more t

You can, and there's nothing wrong with it if that's what you need to do (using word/google docs). That's not the point of the author though. She's saying compared to frameworks like React and Angular, making a web

Do you mind sharing your age (ballpark range) and savings (ballpark range)? I often read about such lifestyle, but something that would haunt me is what you would do as you age and as work dries up. I think I'd be more comfortable with

That's after he bought the house too. A zillow search shows that a 2-bed house in South Hadley, MA is around $150-200k. If bought in cash, his total savings was probably 750-800k. It may be a good reminder for readers of this to realiz

Perhaps one way of thinking about FAANG pay level is where the money is coming from. FAANG can pay engineers a lot because they make a lot of money (in a very indirect way, it's like what people always said about "If I make my com
