If you actually do the demo project thing, you'll find a .web directory, with all the next-js code. :)

In reality: I am not that mercenary. Nor is the man in the song. They both know the rules... and they both are enjoying the profits. If a company wants to make a major commitment to me, I commit back. But note: commitments come in the for

A company is not family. A company is not your friend. To quote Bob Seger: "I used her, she used me but neither one cared We were gettin' our share" - Night Moves That is a corporate relationship. Nothing wrong with it. But

You will always have a conflict of interest. I remember there being a desire to build a concrete plant near my house when I grew up. When the council running the town had to put the meeting in the largest room they had, and people started

Look up FOGBANK (nuclear material), if you want to see what happens when people get REALLY motivated to replicate the impossible to replicate.

Author is playing a trick. By allowing the money to be in the market only 1/2 the time, it will not do as well. This is common sense to anyone who understands even the most basic thing about markets.

I'll do you one better. Learn to use search tooling. My neovim setup has ripgrep + a LSP on hand at all times. You can do the same things in VSCode. If you don't know where something is... search, search, search. 2000 lines or

Cage matches against a Gold Medalist in BJJ is a sign of stupidity unless you are trained in such things. Last I knew Elon wasn't. And yeah he's bigger, but that much skill is hard to overcome. For the cage match I'm team Zu

The weight of having to support what you write is an important one for a developer IMHO. It is easy to slap together crap and toss it over the wall as good enough, and then, the "hone team" is stuck with supporting it. For example

Yeah, and then everyone has to have the same locking hierarchy, and be conscious of it. This sounds like a nightmare waiting to happen.

Ex Red-Hat: I think the Red Hat eco-system is turning IBM Blue. I'll take this as the warning to move off Fedora, to more forward looking distributions. Red Hat already lost my work laptop.... now it'll lose my personal one :(

I asked it to write some basic terraform: - Make a VPC. - Add an Instance. - Abstract the region and AZ, into vars. etc... every time I wanted to change the code, I asked the bot to do the refactor, and it did. Overall, I'm impressed.

Some thoughts for you: Leadership is a taught skill. Start learning. If you want to get promoted, your current company has sent you a strong message... it is up to you to listen to it and understand it. Personally, I've stayed on the

Perl is a great language, but please listen to this old perl programmer's advice: 1. You can write totally unreadable perl. It is probably the single worst language in this regard most programmers will run into. Be careful to make yo

You think simple CLI. I think: I'm writing this in Python, most Python setups are a giant mess. By putting it in a container, I can guarantee it'll run right on their system. This is LESS complex. If my employer considers "

No lawyer would let something like this happen if it was going to break the GPL. Breaking the GPL, and triggering the revocation of Red Hat's license to distribute various key pieces of GPL code is a massive no-go. I've also spent

I think the real issue is the misapplication of take-homes. If after 3-4 rounds of systems interviewing, the company came back and said: "Hey we like you, and we're interested in making an offer, but we want to check your skills..
