Thanks for these. You wouldn't happen to know of a decent windows terminal app, would you? I'm using ConEmu and man alive does it suck.

Why choose? When I hold down caps lock, it acts like CTRL. When I hit it once, it acts like ESC.

I'm not an artist either, but it is occasionally useful to be able to interact with a screen with fingers or a stylus instead of a mouse. Also, the screen has a 3:2 aspect ratio. :D

This is what I'm wondering. Did they fail to adequately test the quick charge feature or do they have a supply chain issue? The Nokia phone explosions were caused by Nokia accidentally buying counterfeit batteries because they sold mor

That's not going to set you apart from the legions of JS devs they can hire locally who also have samples of their previous work and maintain an active github account.

And how do you expect a potential employer to identify such people? It's not an easy or trivial thing to determine who is a good dev and who is a bad dev.

What about legacy systems that were once popular but aren't anymore, like PHP? I know there's a lot of wordpress development demand out there and fewer and fewer skilled devs who are willing to learn and/or work with PHP.

jQuery is mostly superfluous these days, anyway. Javascript supports most of its functionality natively in the browser. Maybe it's time to ditch the overly large generic libraries and start writing in plain old javascript again.

Your comment was worded fine. My point is that most code written for most companies is not publicly accessible. Therefore, most code that is publicly accessible was created as a side project in their spare time. I don't know about you,

I couldn't agree more. The problem with most work sample tests is the length and the format. Most are too long and they have you start with nothing. Adding a rest endpoint to a little flask app is perfect. It's a shame nobody actu

I can't say I agree. That code base resembles Java in all the wrong ways.

In your opinion, what does that look like for PHP? Most of the projects I've seen tend to go overboard on the java-like OOP declarations.
