Why not write code locally and push to build/test remote? I feel like this is the best of both worlds- but it does require some up front effort to build the pipeline

Self driving cars are a much more difficult proposition and we can already do that pretty well. Flying where there is significantly less traffic and less obstacles and a third dimension to use? That makes things very easy. Piloting the dron

I often have these days when my mind is pre-occupied. I'm used to having around 40 minutes a day dedicated to my commute, where I relax and turn my conscious mind off (luckily I don't have traffic) I've had to start doing oth

I'd be really interested to see one of these trace all the way through a typical micro service application. I.E. Exactly where does my initial http request go, how does the front-end make it out, how does the front-end reach the back-e

Code is more like hot rodding- you throw stuff together, making design decisions by the seat of your pants except for a high level plan (which stays very malleable) It's very different than the 'conventional' engineering that

You don't have to have that open of a mind. I was angry at macOS because I didn't have good window management, but it was really easy to install a third party utility to do so. I use Amethyst which is much easier to setup than my

If you're a linux user for that long you've probably got experience updating CLI utilities. That's all that's required here, simply installing a new openSSH. I recently made the transition (from ~10yrs Linux) to Mac and

I feel like light mode is way way easier on my eyes, but I generally work in well lit rooms and avoid computers at night. Plus I think it's important for your circadian rhythm. Bright blue-ish white makes you feel like it's daytim

In democracies, governments are lead by their people. The government will generally do what its people want it to do. Americans did not give a damn about corona-virus for a long time. If the people wanted shutdowns, they would have gotten t

My team of 200 people's sole form of communication is in slack. The only emails we get are calendar invites to meetings. I genuinely don't understand the problem with that. Slack is great- it's synchronous when you want it to
