I currently use a huge Ikea Galant wrap-around desk. So I can run my 3 24" displays and just swivel my chair to move to writing space. To get the equivalent standing space is beyond my budget, so at least for me, it impacts my current

I'm not a front end dev but am an experienced programmer. About 3 years ago I took a few evenings and to work through Angular tutorials - at the time I didn't realize these new frameworks rendered client side. After I had a few th

I've settled on Todoist. It's not awesome but does the job especially for recurring tasks. But more and more for work I've found myself using a little notebook or a small stack of index cards.

I think there are lot of us who may never have really like Mac hardware, but find the OS is the best option out there to get our work done. Its just a little sad it locks us to specific hardware platform as well.

This probably only applies to various pockets like Silicon Valley or New York. For the most part, developer salaries aren't that great. I'd be much better off had I become an accountant, or perhaps even a plumber running my own b

I'm currently doing 2 days a week on a contract. It's a fixed monthly rate contract. When summer is over I'll likely move to 3 or 4 days a week (my choice). It's a sacrifice in money, not to mention the work is for a non

I get RSI flare ups every so often. Just over a week ago most recently and read that stressful work just makes it worse. Now I'm to be in the position that I was able to drop the stressful work. It's helped a lot.

I'd like Mac OS X but on a Lenovo T or X. That would just be perfect (assuming it ran as well as it does on a MacBook).

I use it so I can have a laptop that just works with minimal fuss and a decent unix-like environment as I have only ever deceloped for the server side targeting Linux and BSD. However, while I routinely upgrade to the best MacBook Pro, I&#x

I've been using Linux on the desktop daily since about 1998. It may look a little prettier today, but I find it crashes and freezes a whole lot more these days.

I wonder if there will still be a free tier, a place to drop decent base nodes or images demoing open source and so on.

Fedora is my primary desktop. Been using it since Fedora 7. Used Ubuntu prior to that, and RedHat prior to that. For work and play I run unix-type apps, that target Linux systems, so I've always found it better to be running on somet

Right now I use it for demos... We use a stack that is little complex for someone wanting a quick taste. So provided they have a modern Linux with with docker installed they can quickly do a self demo. And if they don't, well having

For me, libevent just provides the boiler plate but I'd be writing too often for fd registration and timeouts. I could do it myself, but it would just end up looking more and more like libevent each time I did it.

Around 50.. Not all unique, some are the same in different TLDs, and just different variations, especially when there is a number in the name. I'm letting them mostly expire now.

I hear you. I'm just at 15 years professional experience as well. Did a startup early on in my career, was acquired (more of a firesale) and I'm still there. Things are OK, but not great. I've learned new languages (Scala

I did most of the course and was pretty new to FP. I have no plans to do Scala development, but the course did help me become a better programmer in the languages I do use. I've been a developer for 10+ years but have been ignorant to

Modern Spring is quite nice, and after having tried Play, I go back to Spring MVC, but use Spring-Boot with Jetty was the embedded container. Its much like Dropwizard, but better integrated with Spring if that is what you are used to or lik
