It’s amazing how software engineers can get things done without actually knowing the tools they are using. CSS is one of these tools that i never bothered to learn properly but instead hack it until it works as expected.

So why do you think these subjects keep popping up on HN? Maybe because there is a unsatisfied need and these articles are addressing the demand. I'm sincerely curious, because I actually like to read these kinds of articles that you a

Maybe that was possible 50-100 years ago when you were not living in a global village where everyone around the world can come and knock on your door and demand your attention. Nowadays we need to constantly remind ourselves that we need to

Doing deep work in early mornings should fix your problem. Usually the fires start after the managers/boss/teammates arrive in the office. In the morning you just can ignore everything because no one is expecting you to be availab

I might have missed the train somehow. First time I heard about TikTok was about half an year ago and now it's already buying services for 800M. How did it get so big so fast or was it already huge deal in China before it reached us?

Usually I just look into source code. Use 'tree' command to see the folder structure and then pick a file that seems relevant. Then I go to the bottom of the file and work my way up (usually the main entry points are the bottom,

Never heard of this service. Seems like they have too much money at hand. When you have billions you start to think that every problem can be solved with money and that inhibits creative solutions. Instead of organic growth based on the val

I’m wondering if i should implement the consent prompt myself or use some plugin? If i were to implement it myself is it enough to give two options Yes/No or does the law require me to give some additional customisation options? Edit:t

For me testing is a way to run small snippets of code without the need to spin up the whole application. I write lot of unit tests(almost TDD) when working with java, but when working with clojure or python I mainly use the REPL to drive th

In a perfect world all my abstractions would be small and self-contained packages, that i could import as a library without any dependencies.

"Usually" is not the best word here, I agree. What I meant is that it's "often the case". There are multitude of examples from Middle Ages in Europe(and before that), and Vikings etc. Not only people from Africa wer

I would think racism and slavery are two different things. Usually slaves and masters are of the same race. But I understand why this might be a good move, the word “slave” itself is pretty loaded with negative connotations.

What i don’t like most about scrum is the sprints. Doesn’t matter if it’s one or two weeks long, we never have a successful sprint, the velocity chart looks like random numbers, and we spend hours on debating what the story points really me

Do you use some kind of project management tools (kanban,todoist etc) for your side projects or maybe just some plain text todo files? I find that whenever I’m trying to start a new side project I’m spending disproportionately long time sea

1000 repos seems a bit much. Does it mean that when developing a feature you have to change code in tens of repositories And then create separate commits and PRs for each of those? It just seems way too microscopic.

I guess this list of movies applies to people who live in US. Available movies differ substantially between countries. With Netflix it's easy, it doesn't even show the movie you can't watch, with Amazon you have to click thro
