Actually I think it takes a third thing: need At least in my experience I can read about different architectures all day and sort of understand them, but I only really "get" it once I find a non-toy problem I need to solve and att

Ok that's what I'm doing too! It always works but also feels a bit messy and when I want to make a change it ends up being hard to untangle all the nested selectors.

That's interesting, I love Tailwind but I think Tailwind's responsive stuff is the messiest part. Do you have any good resources to share about doing effective and maintainable responsive design on a non-toy website using Tailwind

Oh is THAT why my dev tools are so slow? Especially in Firefox, selecting elements has been really laggy. I figured it was because of my crappy laptop. I also love Tailwind, glad to know it's about to get better.

I work at Google. Most people here do a lot of work. But maybe 5% do next to nothing, or nothing you couldn't do in 2 hours a day. I imagine this is the case at any sufficiently large corporation. So if you can find a remote job at a B

He’s actually more known for how little charity he does, relative to his wealth and his peers. As soon as he got divorced his ex-wife gave away billions which hints that he was blocking a lot of that.

The best headlines _on Facebook_. Given that FB is the world's most notoriously bad/spammy content recommendation system this is like an article about “What you need to cook the best food” that focuses on the McDonalds menu. But

This is some lazy math: > A trailer park at 5 homes per acre and 2.5 people per household works out to 8,000 people per square mile, or more than twice as dense as Phoenix. Well yes but a trailer park is just housing. What about streets,

I agree frameworks help with the dev setup through all the cool hot-reloading tricks, I just meant because of their complexity it's one more thing you have to keep running in testing. I don't want to go back to jQuery in a <scr

It would be nice if it was easier to have a setup which is fast for development but realistically slow for testing. I develop my personal website on a 6-year-old Windows laptop which was only $750 at the time. It definitely keeps me from m

My personal theory of modern software development is that the #1 and #2 things you can to do improve software quality are: 1) Make sure devs can run a realistic version of the whole stack locally. 2) Drive incremental build times and effort

Reddit has always been a place where you can find spontaneous generosity with a fun twist. Just one example: there was a popular sub many years ago called "randomactsofpizza" where Redditors would send pizza to other Redditors who

This is great. I don't know why every site thinks it needs comments or ratings/reviews. Allowing user-generated content on your site is a big responsibility and attracts a lot of bad behavior. Adding comments should be a careful l

This sucks for customers but as a business owner it's pretty rational behavior. If everyone is going to judge your business based on some 3rd-party rating and someone offers to boost that rating for you for a few hundred dollars ... yo

This is why some recruiters demand a DOCX of a resume, not just a PDF. They edit them before submitting them to postings. Sometimes they're honest edits to improve your chances, but mostly it's lying to get you in the door.

This is really cool! A teammate of mine built something like this for a hackathon once, but far less advanced. How do you think this compares to using a more pure local solution, like localstack? https://github.com/localstac

This looks like too much fun. Basically the X-Wing fights in Star Wars video games but in real life. Not looking forward to random people flying these around me at 60-90mph ... but I really want one!

Speed is still the differentiator on iPhones. After 10 years of Android I switched to iOS and it's like someone greased up the whole experience. I didn't realize how much waiting / stuttering I was taking for granted on And

Various forms of server-side rendering for JavaScript-heavy webapps are definitely picking up steam, but I don't see how they will gain popularity among the long tail of web developers because of one thing: cost. Simply put a client-si

I work at Google and there's one thing in particular that makes this totally impossible: legal. Talk to any startup about their early days. They took legal risks, knowingly or not, that would make a BigCo lawyer sick to their stomach.

In the age of Twitter and Instagram it's not really productive to insult book readers for reading the "wrong" books. I don't want us to lose reading. (Also Rainbow Six was sweet)
