I've seen "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" recommended on book threads on HN multiple times, by multiple people, so I would agree that yes, a lot of other engineers see the similarities! The way the author explains

if you watch the video from the article, it is explained that this mattpakke is not a sandwich, but something less than that.

the same can be said for instagram. it's called social media presence and it different than advertising.

This. I feel like the article is a little bit too negative, but I've been something pretty much similar. I moved to SF, worked for about 4 years, loved it, but then moved back to Europe and realised "oh wow, it IS a bubble".

The first 13 minutes are just a history of how we got to React. The remaining is the author saying it's bad, but that he doesn't have a solution. Not worth the watch.

Thanks for clarifying! Was not aware of the practice and didn't even notice the states represented the alphabet! (Non US resident here).

wow, crazy how small Pi has become! I remember trying to do a similar project for the bus stop at the corner of my street to know when to leave to catch the bus. It was fun, but I never really finished when I realised how big just the Pi wo

it seems to me that most of those questions should influence positively employee happiness.

every time Brad Frost writes something a bit controversial, it always feels like he can write and understand html and css, but anything else (including React) is way over his head. No disrespect, it just feels like he's not spending th

This reminds me of the Web Framework From Scratch [0] series from Destroy All Software. A great series of videos worth the subscription! [0] https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/screencasts/catalog/routi...

this resonates. I interviewed a front end enginner last week who had a few years of experience, so not completely junior. He had been working with React most of the time. we did a simple live coding challenge that didnt require React. Only

I recently switched back (again) to iOS from Android and the backend was so painful, I decided to pay for iCloud and have things backed up, swearing never to go away from iOS again (still think it's a better platform after multiple swi

same for me. I see a black screen, seems like I can submit a doodle (i have no idea what it means) and that's all, I don't see anything else.

I don't love micro frontends, but having been in an org that grew very fast to dozens/hundreds of engineers working on FE stuff, Conway's law was definitely at work there. You are definitely right, this really is a case of pr

+1. Never heard of this. Would have probably been a customer. I bought a few raspPi to tinker with stuff but have no idea how those things work and always end up not doing much and getting stuck. Something like MAKE would have helped a lot!

from the comment I am answering to > They've been gradually deprecating Unix for 20 years, and designing the OS they want.

One good thing about programming on Mac is the UNIX environment which basically works just like on Linux. Makes it great for finding questions/solutions that work (vs on Windows for example). Do you see that changing as macOS gets away

Most comments here are about how annoying people asking about X are. We get it, sometimes you are asking about X simply because you need to know about X and you know what you are doing. But often, especially when dealing with more junior en

It's unclear how many drivers are actually fighting this and how many are actually happy in the current situation and do not want to be classified as employees. The article mentions "Last month, Uber settled the main court case wi

I really enjoy reading about those kinds of problems because they are so opposite to my intuition. Even thinking about this more, and reading (and understanding) the solution, if I think about this, my guess would still be "well, with

Lots of good advice in here, and on point I'd like to add is.. that's not only for older people. The question mentions parents and most answers reply to that - don't forget that HN people are good at tech not because we are y

True, and that would be interesting to know how the other books influence them as a founder. The thing here is this list of books is what tells founders what to do as founders, so probably the biggest part of their influence.

I've read most of those books and they are all very nice and worth a read. The fact that those recommendations are literally everything I've read in the past few years is probably another proof that we, in the tech industry, live

Whatever Teenage Engineering makes, it looks awesome and seems to be of great quality. I randomly found out about them and started looking at a bunch of youtube videos, it made me really want to check those things out. I ended up buying a P
