Aside from community radio stations and major sites like Spotify, you could try looking through slices of the record industry yourself. There's a big list of record labels on Wikipedia that you could read through[0]. They've also

I've been through a few different types of interviews and the random algorithm style seems off to me. I recognize that there are companies like FAANGs that want a deep bench and will have expert algorithm people on-call for that one ti

Sounds like you pretty much have it. Set up a Stripe/Shopify/PayPal/etc. account for free and hack shit. There are no rules. Or there are some rules - the most important one being that you solve user's problems. If 3.5%

If you're still early stage and looking for feedback you should look for feedback from actual users. Taking feedback from non-users may skew your feedback away from what actual users would provide. The audience which pays for a product

Beyond the inefficient audio design of the headphones it feels like there should also be a better audio feedback so users are aware of how loud the sound is. Why can't the device read you back the volume level in words when you change

I don't quite agree... I feel like, theoretically, yes we should feed bad data to all the functions and use property-based tests to ensure the features hold. However, in the real-world if you're using a language like Clojure for

I remember reading when Facebook announced Aroma to auto suggest common coding patterns to FB engineers[0]. I haven't used much for code completion before but this idea sounds really interesting. It sounds like the IntelliCode implemen

You could also DIY with a VPS and an email project like iRedMail, Soverign, or others. I used iRedMail for a few years and it was pretty easy. As a potential benefit, if you want to pick up more DNS record + email knowledge and have a go at

I guess this is might be easier to set up but you could get something similar on AWS by posting to an S3 bucket and putting pages into CloudFront CDN. Adding CodeCommit could automate deployment for $1/month or you could write a script

This might not be for a hobbyist since the setup is difficult but validating your frontend work with automation is very interesting. I didn't realize for a long time that I could use visual regression tools and Selenium at the end of d

There should be a documentation system that suits the role of each job role, group, and company division. There should be something better than the landfill of data that are wikis or confluence. Why can't there be a system that summari

SomaFM groove salad is great! I feel like since I only listen to it while doing work it snaps me into work mode. It's easy to zero in and forget that the music is playing.

You can tune the pixel difference in Selenium testing so it doesn't fail when under the acceptable pixel change limit. If it's off by one or two no biggie but off by 30 or 50 then maybe there was a structural change to the page, s

I think the most important thing is wanting to do something. The problem in front of you shouldn't just be work - you should actually be interested in solving it. That would probably range from something that's so easy you just wa

I'd vote for getting a disposable laptop with good enough hardware to do most sysadmin things. A 2006/7/8 macbook isn't a bad choice IMO since it has all the standard ports. It supports two disk drives and the keyboard w

If you're lacking time to work on stuff you could keep track of your daily tasks and see trends in how you spend your time. If you know what you're doing, then you can re-organize your schedule to do things that are more important

I worked through the CTM book[0] a while ago and I think this was the general approach taken using the Oz programming language. Each programming paradigm was split into a kernel language that would demonstrate specific programming features.

The only nitpick I have is that the sidebar comments are built in a weird way. They're nested in the middle of the paragraphs inside small tags. It would be a little nicer if they split the sidebar text into aside tags that come after
