Why not live in the suburbs of bay area (East Bay, for example), and quickly cut 30% of your housing costs? Obviously the commute sucks (I endure it daily), but it makes the numbers work. It boggles my mind that most software workers think

While I agree with the overall point of the author, one thing not pointed out is that she is comparing the greats of the past (or current) to the average person. These people are/were great, not the least because they spent that much t

I think the obvious thing that VSCode could've done to avoid this disaster was moving files to recycle bin instead of deleting permanently on discard. You or OP might say why would the behavior of a Linux tool like git move to recycle

Anecdotal point: I have the exact same Acer Chromebook 11 that the OP mentions in the article, which I bought for around $150 USD. It all feels like plastic, but has been very durable for me. Case in point: I was assaulted and robbed last y

imgix is an image CDN service (not free) that offers this feature and more. Not usually used for personal projects I guess since there is no free tier for it.

You already got a lot of replies about your first paragraph here; I wanted to emphasize and second your next paragraph though: things like setting up environments, by far, is what prevents people from getting into coding. It even applies to

His previous blog post actually said that he moved away from the exact $5/mo digital ocean plan you're talking about, to this. I think the author meant to do this less of a "play with fire" way but more of experimenting

One might even argue that being a professional anything (at least, a successful one at it) is about cultivating relationships with people who either have money (investors), have network, or have power (to hire you, etc.). This applies even

There is still a variety of valid use cases and design though, no? Say your site offers English, Chinese, Japanese, and a number of other languages. Your user's HTTP header says they can accept Japanese. So you default to Japanese. The

Another option you have is to try to line up your interviews for all the companies there throughout the span of one week. Take a week off work, fly to Boston and stay there that week and do all your interviews. It can be exhausting, but you

Will you get in trouble with BART? To be clear, I like the initiative and would use it, but it feels like something on the edge of some legal issues.

In an ideal world you would land a job offer before you quit and make the move. (I've even known of someone who received a job offer, quit and moved to a new city, and got the job offer retracted by the company right before starting. S

I think the commenter's question was more about _how_ you did it :) (Thanks for answering questions here btw) Did publishers just reach out to say "hey, pay this fee"? Or did they straight up start with lawsuits/C&D?

This is also exactly my view about Facebook usage. I think it's a good, healthy use case of it, especially for people with means to (which you and I appear to be). I think the general negative view is because people without the means (

Just curious, how do you get your projects viral? I'll be honest to admit, I've worked on side projects before that I've deliberately attempted to manufacture virality (build viral mechanisms off simple games, etc.), but it s

Thanks for the detailed response, it's very helpful. I'd be down to meet up in person to talk a little more, maybe after you talk to your mentor and have a better idea on price range. Can you email me so we can arrange in private?
