I'm thankful for all the mentors I've had over the years. Not just teaching and taking the time to explain until I understand, but also providing good examples how to handle bad situations and treat people.

It's disheartening to read comments like this when I think of the graduates I've worked with over the years and the yearning for betterment and peer recognition I often see.

Imo you will have to get outsourced on-call if your downtime tolerance is very very low. Otherwise I'd suggest religiously documenting your outage root causes and contemplating hard what could've avoided that outcome. Then lastly

I tend to agree, the opener wasn't the issue for me. When I get these kinds of cold mails the opener doesn't really even register...the problem for me is that recruiters and job postings in general very rarely give any real substa

Digging holes. It'll depend where you do it but I think most regulative entities don't have explicit regulations on size or direction of excavations. Same would probably go for heaping all that earth on a mound, I doubt a lot of p

Haha I did something similar at my company. Our customers are heavy spreadsheet users, so decided to create a generic Angular component that can take semi-arbitrary json and display it in a spreadsheet (handsontable). The code flattens a de

Wouldn't call it 'good' but it would be better than applying L on each row. Instead enumerate all unique permutations of the search term, calculate it's levensten distance and then search through for a match...doing it o

Yeah it's pretty weird. Was trying to think of something that would need this exact behavior, assuming it's legit...maybe parsing some piece of text where you expect a fourth part only if the third was parsed successfully and you

Some part of me hopes this bug/limitation/legacy behavior is never addressed. How crazy wouldn't it be if this behavior somehow survives for the next 44 years. I find things like this fascinating, it's like digital arch
