I did the Triplebyte candidate process back in 2019 and overall it was a pleasant experience. Shame they didn't make it.

Great to see LINQPad getting some love. Wish it had a fully functional trial so outsiders can see the real thing before paying. Otherwise, the free version is crippled and boring. Made this video to show LINQPad and getting OAuth tokens fro

I upgraded from a 2011 MacBook Pro to a M1 MacBook Air and never looked back. Battery life, portability, COOL. Like, my actual lap is no longer burning.

Something about pricing psychology, I've noticed that a) I dislike monthly subscriptions even at lower price point like $5/month. It's always on my mind to use-it-or-cancel. And then b) I'm comfortable with a larger but

From the linked video, I saw video panning with mouse movement and zoom-to-clicks ... I think Camtasia can do those? For sure on the zoom, less sure on the panning. Camtasia is commercial and cross-platform. Added benefit is that I think

False dichotomy; cart before the horse? My general approach is validate inputs before running "the thing". Check if file exists Parsing CSV file is moved to another class, do more validations on data HTTP calls, if failed, shouldn

I hiked Via Ferrata in Telluride, CO and it's an amazing experience. Search on YouTube for videos. In the past few years there's been another via ferrata opened in Ouray, CO (neighbors Telluride) that looks even more intense - sad

I read through the article hoping to join the comments with several hot takes, but alas I'm disappointed. Well written and largely accurate. My primary disagreement is working into nights and weekends. If that's your thing then so

Approach it from the positive. Even with all of the remote tools and fancy apps, the connection of team that is in-person every day is night and day compared to a fully remote team. In-person, we can easily build relationships and have rand

Offshoring and outsourcing aren't new trends. While offshoring to India was tried many years ago, there was a boomerang effect that many of those jobs came back to the US after failed attempts at offshoring. It feels different this tim

I believe the current hiring woes in the US are more nefarious than just being picky. First, I believe US companies are figuring out how to hire foreign teams at lower cost. I get multiple emails per week from companies offering us their te

There’s that, and also “I’m capable of so much more than I realize.” Too much of life is consternation about bullshit that doesn’t matter. In moments of indecisiveness, sometimes I use the “look back” tactic where I imagine a future versio

"intentional training" (my term) is one of the most under utilized levers to pull for a team or organization to level up. Your observation aligns with my anecdotal experiences with teams, and it's sad to be honest. The pushba
