I have hired them and taught a class. Rule of thumb if you can find they were top 1 to 3 in the class they’re probably a good if not great junior dev candidate. My golden 2 pieces of advice to bootcamp grads: Don’t use the resume template

Haven’t watched the video but i live near that swamp and we call it “OH-key-fen-OH-key” Not sure how the native way to say it was, but a lot of natural features in South Georgia were taken, nominatively & literally, from the Muskogee pe

It’s probably less who he reads, than how much he writes, and on top of that who reads him. By the latter I mean partially that he likely gets good feedback, but moreso that if you know your audience, have generally been rewarded for writin

Free tier for a lot of these; if it works for you great, I guess just be ready to need/want to upgrade a bunch, grouped around the same time, at which point this goes up 5x, conservatively

Shot in the semi-dark: there was a blog post posted here —- I haven’t been able to find it with HN search —- some years ago that started from scartch/browser-defaults and proceeded in like 5 steps to some nice minimal defaults. Not exa

Do people still say those terms? I feel like they were cool (well, at least not utter cringe) for like 6 months 10+ years ago and ever since has been a signal of cluelessness. “Grit” at least implies self-awareness / honesty so long as

I have experience with jobs that were the opposite of these (except for long hours) and definitely required grit. Which is still to say: not pleasant, but rewarding. It might be reasonable for some jobs to filter out people looking for “pl

Yet I see new model stuff all over the roads where I am, despite cursory searching feeling similarly futile. Did these people have great foresight, pay out the nose, both, or …?

there aren’t any that have been here a while and bother to chime in any more because every comment section on a crypto related story here is essentially exactly the same and has been for about 6 years, maybe more. If this is the obit that s

If, aside from tiredness, you are physically able to work out, then you must do that first. It sounds like you’re off to a good start, plus the shower to “mark the boundary” is a good idea. Yes, all suggestions are YMMV, but personally I’ve

Some club at my university organized a talk by him (the time cube guy) and a friend invited me. I ended up walking out because it felt exploitative and the organizer chased me down and argued with me. To this day I’m not sure if it was harm

Wu also conceptualizes information systems/paradigms as a cycle, in which radio developed a lot like the Internet: 1. wild west days; diversity of both content and quality. 2. Winners emerge by both ruthlessness, inside dealing, AND wi

seconded! For me, I'd add that I want high quality, almost superfluously "chunky" ones -- think heavy, metal knobs that would get a positive grunt from Knob Feel[1]; switches with a physical resistance and heft that would be

The Achilles’ heel for use as a simple wiki, IMO, is that you can’t just make a simple table for layout, it has to be a “database”. This is OK as long as you stay in Notion, but it sucks for exporting. Dropbox Paper’s table implementation

Aside from the well known problem of discoverability, there are two things that kill me about VUIs: 1) Slowness. Not just the lag before you start talking, which I presume will get reduced to basically nothing, but the speed of the assista

I am evaluating work tracking tools and signed up for this after someone on my team linked to the joke lander and once I figured out it was a real app. Looks quite promising although no mobile is a tough pill to swallow. I could go on but j

40 vs 60 hours isn't really the issue. It's: what counts as "work" to be included in the total, and more narrowly, what counts as "housework"? My whole argument is that just as cooking, cleaning, and laundry sh

So, yes. Unless you are very junior, you 1) have to do those things 2) are paid for the time spent doing them 3) will not keep your job long if you simply neglect them or refuse to do them I'm honestly baffled by these responses.

I’m just gonna pass on the family comment, but I’ll just say if you bill by the hour and don’t bill for time thinking about the (programming) work, then you’re playing yourself

Are programmers doing 60 hrs of work a week? Yes, if you count planning, talking about work to be done, thinking about work to be done, commuting (s/buying groceries, shuttling kids), mentoring, dealing with other people’s complaint
