What is a Product Engineer? Is it just another name for an engineer?

I'd agree with you. The readme calls out "Significantly faster session establishment" and goes into greater detail later on. > Establishing a new session with SSHv2 can take 5 to 7 network round-trip times, which can easil

Exactly, there's no point in a startup having _perfect_ code, great test coverage, and an excellent CI/CD pipeline if they've not gotten to market before the cash runs out. Though I think that if leadership are not consulting

While passenger trains nor city buses are not likely to be used for troops transports, passenger trains and city buses would most definitely be used in the transportation of civilians to places of safety – both modes of transport could be c

I wonder how many people would like a block button. I work at a large company with thousands of people on Slack. It is effectively unmoderated social media. And if anyone thinks that HR are the moderators, well the buck stops with them but

One thing that I love about Apple Maps apart from getting directions in an Irish accent, is that it gives directions like a normal person. As an example "go through these lights and at the next set turn left" rather than "in

I noped out right there. I thought it was absolutely ridiculous . If they cannot make a decision after two interviews (three at the absolute most) then I probably won’t want to work there. Oh and they asked me if I would be willing to use

I’ve had this on my idea list for years. Glad to see someone did it.

That was an exceptionally sad read.

Yeah them (and many others) just get Alan and Imelda to do the work.

I'd love to get this working on macOS under X11/XQuartz. That might be a bit of work.

Two sets of eyes is ideal. Making use of things like GitHub CODEOWNERS files can be very useful too, allowing for certain directories to require reviews from certain individuals or user groups. For example, a directory containing the Helm C

Not sure what this article has to do with Ed Connor or Shutterstock, other than they are credited for the cover photo.

That's an interesting looking app/extension, it seems to do a lot more than the linked page implies. I had been thinking that $7.99 was pretty steep for editing URLs in Safari, but no StopTheMadness seems to do so much more. For e

I'd not heard of TAI before, the page doesn't explain how it differs from Loran-C, though perhaps some of the reference links will. I'll have to check them out.

Nice, glad to hear that you have a useful and productive workflow. Yeah at work I use what ever tech what I'm told to use, but paper is still an important part of my thought process.

Yeah I've also had a similar experience with a school diary or as we called them homework journals. Though no boarding school experience. I do also use the reminders app on the iPhone if I need a reminder at a specific time.

Maybe I am the weird one but I use a diary / planner what ever you want to call it. I'll never get locked out of it, I don't have to pay a monthly fee. Personally I think that I have enough screen time as it is. Ok yeah the s

A colleague of mine talks about the Law of Conservation of Complexity. It boils down to "the complexity will have to go somewhere". You can make the development of your backend more simple, by shoving the complexity into the datab

Thank you for your reply! The death by a thousand cuts is real. Where I work we use Slack for nearly everything, we pretty much only have email addresses to login to Slack and AWS. I have definitely found with the diverse bunch of people th

This looks pretty cool. This is no small feat. I'm not actually sure if the product _and_ company are named flowy, or if the company is flowy and the product is named talksik (from the screen recording). Your post here doesn't cla

As someone who struggles with context switching _and_ who likes to help people out and unstick them, I really feel that you're saying. I need to become more like you in that respect. I think scheduling a time to talk and using this too

As far as I recall, Ireland is the only country to have its timezones setup that way.

As someone who was once tasked with fixing a 1200 line Bash script that tabulated customer usage – it got re-implemented in about 400 lines of Python – I like the sound of this. Good luck

When I elected to not fill them in, HR told me that they would answer the questions for me. This was due to a "limitation of the system".
