I think that it’s easier to change jobs in the USA; we usually don’t have a contract for a notice period for leaving. But like anything important, changing jobs takes preparation and a lot of effort. One might say that they lack opportunity

I think that the hope/dream here is to make end-to-end tests less flakey. It would be great to have navigation and assertions commands that are robust against simple changes in the app that aren't relevant to the test case.

Right now, it takes skill and labor to move descriptions between representations for business goals, engineering (where we have frameworks and linters, etc.), and external/customer facing documentation. The customer is faced with an o

I think we will go the other way: A person will write the documentation and the AI will build the system that delivers the described product.

I don't think that candidates should have to do a lot of pointless data-entry to apply. If the candidate has tooling to increase their reach, for a given level of time invested, all the better. I'd rather that they have a minimum

From the hiring side: I would like good candidates to use tooling to apply to jobs. Then I’m more likely to get an application from you. But the applicant better apply some quality control to their tooling. It’s a turn-off to get a LinkedIn

I agree that using a hosted secrets manager is better than storing a random assortment of secrets in an .env file that's written right next to your source code. Just make a with-secrets shell script that checks your 2FA and fetches the

I'll give a +1 to Godot; my son and I had fun going through the 2-D game tutorial and customizing the game. We added some physics, and it was quickly hilarious. Simpler game systems weren't flexible enough to capture his imaginati

In a multi-tenant system, you might have one customer who drops a big job that creates a huge number of tasks. We'd like to process this as fast as possible, but not block the tasks of small jobs from other customers, which should norm

The JavaScript ecosystem historically had a lot of turnover. Probably there are a lot of applications that repeatedly ported over the years: Ruby to JavaScript, to coffescript, to flow types (for React), to Typescript. I think that these la

I like rebasing too. When I have any significant change, I usually end up making a mix of clean-up and preparation around my new feature. I like to move the separable parts into separate branches, so that there is less to review per request

It is much easier now to scale services (microservices, FaaS, etc.) to meet high or fluctuating demand than it used to be. So there are fewer cases where there is much to gain by carefully controlling how messages are buffered up.
