As we've gotten larger, we've gotten slower in many ways. I think they're valid for the business but its frustrating as an individual. We now have to run changes through legal to ensure global compliance as we're large e

I can't imagine this code being in a place to open source. Surely it's tied to various internal libraries and services.

I just want to say, as a developer that just wants to get stuff done, I'm so annoyed by frameworks needing a meta framework, etc, etc. I want something as simple as CRA to be enough.

I'm usually the guy who is several versions behind on every library and I stick with what I know instead of exploring new features. I will say that React has been pretty pleasant to work with in regards to not forcing me to rewrite my

I've thought about using Cloudflare workers to build a proxy that would do user tracking. Not sure if that is something people would want to do but it effectively gives you a JavaScript free way to track your visitors while still using

As someone who works in industry, I regret going to grad school at all. It didn't do anything at all to further my career. I know people with PhDs too and all it did was bump their initial salary by a few years worth of raises (but at

The better approach is to separate your web app and marketing sites. Your marketing site is yoursite.com and your app can live on something like app.yoursite.com. There are lots of marketing stacks that include all the tools for making land

I remember upgrading Ubuntu a few years ago and then having it reboot to a command line error, then spending the rest of the day finding some XML file that was now malformed and fixing it. That was a ton of fun :-P To be fair, it was kind o

I'm a big fan of services like Heroku and Netlify. Heroku is basically "here is a repository with my server app, run it". Netlfiy is basically "here is a repository with my web app, host it". I really don't hav

I did something similar. New strings would get Google Translate translations when we merged changes in. Then it would kick off a translation job through a human translation service. We'd have to periodically poll that service to pull t

Or someone forgot the "where user_id = ?" part of a query and it somehow got to production.

No that seems kinda odd. However, if I were to make what seems like an unusual decision, I would include a comment explaining the rationale. Like "SSL is disabled here due to compatibility issues with system XYZ, <link to docs>&q

This is why I also fear using Google Cloud. You might do something weird to get banned from YouTube or Google Ads and then next thing you know you've lost access to your Google account including Google Cloud. Good luck if you used any

All it takes is one executive to notice him in an ad or for one person to spend more time at a Salesforce booth at a conference to potentially turn into a large sale.

One big client for Salesforce could bring in $10m of revenue. Using a highly paid celebrity to lure in potential customers might make perfect business sense from an ROI perspective.

Yeah, but having a bunch of unhappy employees isn't healthy either.

Plus you'd have Google on your resume, so now you get a job just about anywhere, so you can leave Google for similar pay at a better company.

Companies like Google have a unique problem. They attract the best engineers, but they still have lots of boring work to be done. So they end up hiring brilliant engineers only to have them work on uninteresting things like financial report

You would still deal with the deliverability challenges of getting your private email server trusted by everyone. It will work 95% but there are a bunch of weird edge cases due to old IP blacklists, bad spam rules, etc that will cause you p

There are numerous data aggregators and data brokers out there. If your data is online (e.g. LinkedIn), they have it. If you've ever given data to a site that trades data with a brokerage, they have it. My company worked with one of th

I only write tests in two situations: 1) mission critical parts of my system that will cause damage if they break 2) small functions that I can't wrap my head around (eg some complex regex extraction) Everything else can be fixed fast
