idk, here are some ideas for on call must haves based on other talk about on call things: - normal rotation has 5-8 people - on call lasts for one week - some institutional trigger (like an SLO) exists for changing team priorities w

If you were working on a production system that had a failure, you'd probably want to dig into the why behind the failure and take some steps to keep it from happening in the future. Why not apply the same to your own failures and trea

Agreed, this setup is super nice for personal work! Adding a raspberry pi as a jump box with wake on lan saves some money on electricity too. I've been using that with a big desktop computer instead of a server and it pretty much works

I guess I deleted the repo by accident when I was cleaning my computer out last year. Here's a very bad version of the repo that basically doesn't do anything. I'll leave it up for a week though if you want to fork it and rol

I wanted frontend debugging in prod so I've been halfway through building a source map injection browser extension for a while. The problem is that source map comments don't work well when the same artifact is deployed across prod

Alan Kay had an interesting talk about designing for the future. One part was on building a company to appeal to basic instincts vs creating tools and systems to benefit people. https://youtu.be/1e8VZlPBx_0?t=2814 There are

Persons B, C, and D are being paid a rate proportionate to the available labor market for their product building skill set. There was nothing stopping persons B, C, or D from being person A and founding a company for that idea. If B, C, and

Is there a good way to get around location tracking without losing out on having a phone? Even a feature phone would have location tracking from your cell service provider which I'm sure they would monetize because they can. Are there

If the alternative keyboard sizes get more popular it may become standard to brush up on playing all the sizes. Professional saxophone players usually specialize in one of the major sax types (like alto, tenor, or baritone) but they know ho

A be less alone chat sounds like an awesome idea! I want to not participate but doing this is probably one of those things that's better in hindsight (like getting out for a walk or cooking something fancy for yourself). Count me in if

You could bump up to an iPod mini v2 and optionally swap out the internals for some extra storage space. The stock battery with the latest apple firmware lasts about 18 hours with 450mAh. There are better 1300mAh+ batteries that offer a lot

Can you introspect on what was helpful about having a peer? Are there parts of that process you could replicate without needing a real coworker? You could talk to your engineering manager or team about how helpful it was to use pair program

It's probably easier to find tools by searching GitHub instead of SO. It looks like doiuse also comes as a PostCSS plugin so you could have better compile time linter integration with that[0]. There's also a similar plugin for ESL

This is fun! I use a 2007 macbook for travel since it's cheap enough to be a disposable laptop. It was my primary laptop up until last year. The setup seems to work best if you treat it as a dumb terminal. Any compute heavy tasks will

I started hacking on a browser extension to inject source-maps into requests using HTTP headers this week. It's a dev tools extension which should allow full source-maps to be used in production sites without the usual comment at the e

We have a weekly on-call position on our team where that person tries to shield everyone else from non-sprint distractions. They would usually be on point for handling requests from other teams, production issues, release problems, helping

Weird, I was just looking into google code search this weekend so I could use something like it on my work computer. It's a little surprising that big co git storage companies don't have a proper code search tool as part of their

I'd be interested in other resources for this too. The best I can think of is Udacity's Web Performance Optimization class[0]. It's by Ilya Grigorik, chair of the W3C Web Performance working group. Other than that there are

Does anyone know the history behind the Pokemon green translation (or maybe pocket monster green). I remember that there were some roms with pretty funny translations. Was that the unofficial English port before Pokemon Blue was released?

Why doesn't manager A, who is manager of official A, keep track of the work that official A does? That person could deny the unnecessary budget for more underlings and hold official A to be accountable for their work. I don't thin

I'm not sure if life hacks and self-psych will make any major impacts on SAD. If you feel down it never hurts to get a mental health consult. I'm from Minnesota so here's more or less how I would deal with winter, ymmv. This

I don't have much advice for emotional issues but you could try taking stock of how the day went. What was good and what wasn't? If you have trouble remembering you could keep notes about what you're doing while you work so y
