(I do like ProductHunt, so don't take this as an attack on the product) PH allows anyone to find and vote on anything, and has a follower model that gives hunters with many followers much more exposure. The result of this is that hunte

This can be appropriate as a tactical short-term hack, but for anyone reading who doesn't have a good sense for when to cut corners here, this isn't a great general-purpose solution. You're building assumptions about the way

This is very heavily Leangains-influenced, no? Would be nice to credit that as a source, if so.

It's helped me to realize that not working is an important part of being productive. When you get that "brain fog" effect from working too much, you can be more productive by taking a break and relaxing for a bit. Try to re

UML has fallen out of favor, in my experience - and for good reason. It's too heavyweight, rigorous, and precise for projects that are rapidly changing. UML documentation often ends up falling behind and becoming useless (or even activ

Thanks, I hadn't read this. That's too bad, hopefully we'll see that in the future (if it's technically possible at all?). That'd be a huge feature for me.

I'm so excited for table partitioning. I use table inheritance in several places in my current project, but have felt the pain of foreign key constraints not applying to inherited children. Reading about table partitioning, I'm re

There are too many other mainstream backend languages with important advantages over Python. I'm having a hard time thinking of a problem space where I wouldn't rather pick something else. C# has static types, far better tooling,

Yup. I find that the hardest part is finding the link, not finding the content in the link though.

These are usually web links for me, so I drop them in Chrome bookmark folders. The nice thing about Chrome bookmark folders is that they give you both hierarchal navigation (for directed browsing), and search - just type keywords/thoug

React and Vue are both great, well-supported libraries. I'd personally recommend React, especially as someone new to frontend development, in part because React is much more broadly used and as a result it's often easier to google

I have a degree - and it was valuable - but I also feel that the thousands of hours at home was irreplaceable, and has played a huge part in being able to get the jobs I wanted. There are some things that are only learned by creating someth

In college I had no work experience and wasn't going to a good enough school to work where I wanted based on my education alone. I spent two years making games in college, and it was extremely worthwhile. It played a big role in gettin

Cool! I figured you'd be using the draft-js-plugins project for the hover-formatting and drag-n-drop plugins, I don't see the plguin being used though. Have you checked that out (or am I just missing it)? FYI, the edit tool dropdo

by iEchoic 10y ago
In 2015, Fallout 4, MGS, The Witcher 3 and Bloodbourne split the GotY awards, so game critics think there were a couple others that year. Had The Witcher 3 come out in 2016, it would have certainly been behind Overwatch. Had it come out in

by iEchoic 10y ago
The Witcher 3 was a solid game, but it's the kind of game that doesn't really have a lasting impact beyond rounding out a platform's lineup. Typically you have a few of those on each platform every year. This is like Tier III

I have a feeling the "no feedback" policy is there because providing feedback can be a liability. The second someone says something that can be misconstrued as sexist, homophobic, racist, ageist, or a variety of other things relat
