I like how in the last video, after you'd already biked 200+ miles to get to New York, you're like "what do I do now? I guess I'll go for a bike ride around the city..."

Just stumbled upon your video of biking across the country. Epic! How did you train for this ride?

In these coronavirus times especially, this is prudent advice. I would say now its a good time not to quit your old job until even your first day in your new job. It's not a nice move, but given all the uncertainty in the world, I am

I don't understand this hype about Apollo. Its trying to be some strange "semi-framework" that takes care of some of your application concerns while actively making it harder to take care of the rest. For example, Apollo wil

This article is about cars driving in simulation, not on the real streets. But I do wonder how they can introduce truly "unpredictable" events in the simulations. I don't know anything about self driving cars, but it seems l

In my experience people abuse react components by making them too big with too much functionality. If you have a bunch of hooks tied together in a brittle way, thats not the hooks's fault. It's a good sign that you need to refac

My biggest gripe with AirBnb is the search functionality. Sure, you are a premium product, so you can price gouge my millennial bank account all you want. But at least give me the functionality that I need. As a software engineer, I need

I think both with coffee and beer there are two classes of establishment - the average city cafe or bar, and then the specialty "artisanal" establishment in big cities. My guess would be that the coffee at an average Italian town

Nice, thats a good guide! I dare say that if you are capable of following instructions, and have $15 to invest into a freshly roasted bag of beans from a coffee shop, then your coffee is exactly the same quality as to what you would get fro

I don't know much about espresso, but the pourover coffee I make at home is certainly much higher quality than a Keurig machine. The beans are the most important part - you should get them roasted within the last few weeks. Even the f

For me static typing is essential not when I am writing a new application from scratch, but when I am coming into huge old legacy code projects. For example, I am currently working on a messy and old Swift / Objective C application an

Luck certainly plays a factor but experience cycling on the roads is key. When I cycle on roads I am hyper aware of my surroundings. I am scanning all around me, including behind me every few seconds. I’m also specifically looking at peop

My favorite biking accessory is my Quadlock - https://www.quadlockcase.com/ . Having my phone securely mounted on my handlebars is a game changer. If I want maps, I have those up. On longer rides, I have my phone playing

Interesting article. One challenge though is that there are a lot more gray areas in cycling than in driving. Driving is black and white - you want the fastest route thats legally possible. With cycling, everyone's tolerance for wha

GitHub does this as well. When I spoke to their recruiter they offered me 30 to 50% less than what I currently make because I live in a "tier 3" city.

As someone who is not able to run, the comment made me feel sad for a few seconds, but I am used to that feeling since I feel it every time I see someone jogging down the street. I am lucky that I can still ride my bike for that cardio fix.

no - proper unit testing mocks dependencies, so untested dependencies shouldn't affect tests. However, if there are typing issues in your dependencies, even the code that strongly typed can crash as a result if it uses those dependenc

Having partial type safety is like having a no peeing section in the pool.

I think there is a great middle line for a language that is easy to work with, and provides enough safety to be maintainable for a long time. Environments like C++ and enterprise Java miss this middle line by being too cumbersome. Howeve

Frontend development is a tricky beast because its hard to separate business logic from view logic. Since all your code relates to the view, its temping to just stick all your code into the view component or controller. This makes your co

Seeing in a few postings that you offer a 4 day work week. Is that still the case? Do you actually stick to that in practice, or do you find work slides into Wednesday anyways?

Interesting that Google makes a ton of apps for iOS but Apple doesn't go the other way.

This is not true (at least if you are a contractor or are self employed). You deduct your health insurance premiums (and all sorts of other expenses like home office) as business expenses. After that’s done you pay tax on the rest. sourc

I am also confused about why zoom is the de-facto conference tool now. I have been working remotely for 6 years and haven't really noticed it being significantly better than other tools like Lifesize or Bluejeans. Also, the inability

I applied 2 months ago when the listing said remote and the recruiter told me that the jobs are "in office" only. Has this changed since? If not you should probably stop putting "remote" in the listing.

I developed my first few iOS apps on a 2013 MacBook Air with 4 gigs of ram. On larger projects (especially Swift) the builds could be a bit slow and the syntax highlighting would be delayed, but overall it was totally manageable. When I u
