I think what I've been missing, and trying to do a better job at, is understanding the awesome power of existing and mature solutions. Things like postgres's LISTEN/NOTIFY and so on.

Cool, I tried it and it worked. I do think a week would probably be a better default setting. Can I take the hash out of my profile?

I would address the fact that whatever they post online is probably going to be accessible and easy to find for the foreseeable future.

The main thing I would do differently is get lots and lots of tutoring, pair programming, whatever. I had precious little of it; thankfully I also had loads and loads of time because I was a teenager with no financial constraints. Tackle la

Thank you! I didn't think to check the Go docs.

Wow, I switched to Python 3 really early on and never knew about pathlib.

Check the documentation, if there is any. I've actually tried to add a small section on "where to start reading the code" to my larger projects. If it's a web application for example, you'd probably want to start wh

I enjoyed reading Thomas Ptacek's hiring post: https://sockpuppet.org/blog/2015/03/06/the-hiring-post/ I've never had an interview like that personally, but I have had interviews that were

That's amazing, well done. Where do you meet clients in town?

Do you work with SAP as your username suggests? That seems pretty good to me for Houston.

I use my personal journaling/habit-tracking app, https://github.com/ioddly/meditations , so I can keep everything private. When I'm out and about, I'll store them on Google Keep and transfer them manuall

I find the features of Jekyll important; I use it for client projects and mock up designs. While I don't like everything about how it's structured and I've written my own for fun, it'd be a lot of work on my part to crea

I don't know about any secret circles (would appreciate an invite if there is one), but you could try the HN freelancer thread, submitted by the account 'whoishiring (the February one will be up next week). I have had good results

When I moderated a mid-sized forum, pretty much 90% of our spam had a URL in the first post, whereas normal users were pretty much the opposite. It seemed like sending those direct to moderation would have removed a lot of the work. In the

After reading this I couldn't think of anything I personally use that depends on perl, so I tried `pacman -Rs perl` to see what needed it. There's a surprising amount of packages that depend on it - openssl, git, automake...

I'm committed to going to one conference this year, and am trying to figure out which one to go to. Kind of considering TypeScriptConf in a month and a half although it's completely new.

I mostly use it on low traffic applications, but it depends on what those simultaneous users are doing and how many of them there are. Multiple processes can access a single sqlite DB, they just can't write to it at the same time. So y

Not sure how doable this is with mobile, but I would say blocking ads + javascript and teaching them to whitelist sites in case it's needed for functionality.

Do not assume that you necessarily need to make things much more complex in order to scale to a thousand users. I have several client projects running on flask + sqlite. There are ways you could simulate a lot of users at once, if you'

As a web dev who writes compilers in his spare time for fun, this is fascinating to me. I'd love to have access to more low level work, but I don't know how to find it or "make the leap." It seems like a need that's

I don't know if I'm rich (actually decidedly not), but I freelance and save a large proportion of my income, and when I'm not working on client projects I just work on my own, which can be for weeks at a time. My day pretty m
