The documentation for Stripe is pretty great. It's the one of the easiest things I've integrated.

As a developer, I find GCP much easier to use than AWS.

As others have said I would avoid rack mount stuff if you can. It's big and noisy.

I find the website and official app to be impossible to look at. I use Bacon Reader on my mobile devices.

That's a great point. They could keep Wordle free as lead gen for their paid games subscription. That's probably more profitable than making Wordle paid.

I did the math on this recently. Supposedly NYT paid $3m for Wordle. The NYT games subscription that includes their crossword and potentially Wordle is $40/year. If they put Wordle behind their games subscription, they would need 75k n

For my personal projects, I keep my setups simple. Node, React, Typescript. Basically use them with the out of the box builds. It works, I have no need to modify things, and it takes less than an hour to fully setup a new computer. For work

I read something 5-10 years ago about some Netflix engineers who created a startup to do this. They looked at all sorts of signals to determine how likely an employee is to quit. I remember them looking at things like posting more on social

$1800 is nothing for an actual profitable company. SaaS companies like Vercel try to find features to separate out small indie developers and actual companies so they can charge them differently. They're probably assuming that someone

This applies to my MVPs too: Almost none. I'll write unit tests for functions containing complicated logic that I can't quickly evaluate correctness. This probably amounts to something like 0.01% test coverage. As a project unfold

Given reason #3, have you considered getting a product management internship? You'd get experience with the business that surrounds software development, which would be great background for creating your own software company some day.

For technical subjects, I lean on references. To me, learning is a lot about just being aware of concepts and knowing enough vocabulary to look things up when I need to.

I have several small businesses with their own emails not worth paying $10/mo for in GSuite. I use ForwardMX to forward them all to one email account.

I've been using yup. I use it with Formik in my frontend react app and directly in my backend node app.

Almost none. The only time I write tests for MVPs is for small code blocks that are difficult to test by using the app or for critical things that I'm deathly afraid of breaking. My coverage is probably less than 0.1%.

On Android I use an app called Buzzkill to automatically hide or dismiss certain alerts. I've got most of my routine SMS messages setup to be ignored.

Switching to reading a weekly physical paper news source has been really nice. It limits my time reading the news while still allowing me to be up to date on big stories. Plus a physical paper encourages me to read outside my usual areas.

I'm seeing some good advice here. I'll also say: some of this is just part of working in a large organization. On your own or in small companies, you get requirements and you go build something. Most of your time is spent creating

I would guess that a typical good engineer could half-ass their job and still get good reviews. You might lose star status on you team and lose out on promotions, but I bet you could work half the hours and not get called out for bad perfor

Forget the value of the education. Being allowed to attend the career fair at a top university is worth it alone. You'll be able to secure internships at top companies and get a high paying job upon graduation. You'll end up being

I went through a similar hell getting compliance to use a certain Google API after getting algorithmically flagged. Months of back and forth, with conflicting approvals and rejections. The same automated emails over and over sprinkled with
