Every talented junior and mid hits this wall at some point. This is where a new mindset and new skills have to be acquired: moving with the whole company in the same direction and improving it from the inside. Pointing out inefficiencies is

Samsung OneUI has good UI and performance, but the 3-year support limit is terrible and unacceptable. I own various Samsung devices, their policy of abandoning 'old' products to bit rot or quietly making them disappear from SmartT

Names like 'is_invalid' and 'is_inactive' will lead to a double negation.

Not only you. The company that I work for delivers software to government agencies. Dependencies like libraries or stack parts that are Russian or Chinese are simply banned. Even Harbor was rejected (and probably should be, as they provide

It works for me: Discover weekly + song radio + similar artists + genre and user playlists. I can listen to new songs until I'm tired. I love Spotify.

Rather bad luck, I have much better experience with Wayland than X. Generally, moving to Wayland and PipeWire improved my experience with Linux desktop so much it's comparable with Mac/Win.

Chromium. I don't know how it looks right now, but several years ago lots of its parts were really good. Modular, with a lot of extensibility points, easy to read. (That may have changed, so another opinion would be useful). It was qui

This approach works very well. Side effects are pushed out of core and no mocks are required for end to end tests. It's quite hard to "sell" to fellow devs, but when it clicks, the code is very clean.

Nvidia managed to hit the right spot to win the market - developers. I wrote shaders for depth detection before CUDA, and it was already great back then, but was very graphics centric. Then CUDA came and pushed everything even further forwa

I have an old Samsung flagship with a 120Hz display, snappy and clean UI that never lags. It has survived several drops without a scratch. I was on the edge of moving to Apple but decided back then to give Android one more chance, and it wa

I remember how I promoted Git over a decade ago, and I heard from the lead guy that “SVN does the same” and “there are no benefits of using branches” (he never used them). Please listen to your coworkers and don’t be that guy. Technology mo

Just print backup codes or add second "drawer" key. The whole idea is great, but has several issues: very bad marketing, wierd configuration flow for average user, push for airdropable/cloud synced keys (this is a bad idea) a

Long-term support is critical. For example, Microsoft excels in that area and has patched its really old products to meet new PCI recommendations such as TLS 1.3, which can actually save a lot of money.

The reason I bought an Xbox is because of the PS4 I had before. It was quite bad and I have no idea why anyone would think it’s better. The game controller was average, laggy and had to be charged every 5 hours. The console was noisy and th

JSON is great, but lacks one feature that XML and its ecosystem has - extensibility and deep standarisation. XSLT, XML Schema, XML signing and encryption, native support of ids and refs, etc. All that missing points are doable with JSON or

I wonder if Reddit ever considered and calculated options like showing ads, selling reddit gold and merchandise through partner apps. Maybe it could be coined into win-win-win but ended as it is.

While it seems like the most rational approach, it isn't. Companies don't typically include many employees in an improvement program, so when 'low performers' who haven't been covered by such a program are laid off,

You can eat it in the same thread. Some frameworks do that implicitly (even without await) . You can also control if it's consumed in particular thread or thread pool and decide which thread should continue. More, you can chain and&#x2

Well, every case is different. I had same situations but employees were made happy (money and role are still good motivators), some left sooner, some later but they did the job well in the meantime. In one case I said "go for it"
