how do you propose we achieve that - remove the right to vote at age 50?

I also enjoy not worrying about how the next field I add to my JWT can be exploited after a base64 decode :-)

Yeah, to be fair it's not as black or white as I suggested. But it's super difficult to gauge the actual impact of your work anyway, most of the time.

Companies exist generally to make money first, and any societal benefit is a side effect. Beware of companies that promise otherwise - they're lying either to themselves or to you. Either take the hit on the paycheck and work for a non

In many cases, the front end doesn't need to read the JWT, just pass it on to some API. An encrypted JWT is still convenient as it can be decrypted and deserialized into a common data structure using existing libraries.

It's the other way round - the front-end shouldn't need to read JWTs, just pass them on.

It's kinda baffling that JWTs are unencrypted by default, to be fair.

As a broke student, I would pay €20 a year. Monthly billing for productivity/creativity apps scares me for some reason. That is meant just as a data point for you, not to diminish your work (which is awesome).

Nice!

I would suggest having the site open with one of the examples, rather than the blank canvas. Regardless, it's very cool!

True. And I guess that's for a full-fat engineering role?

It's still a bunch of work but I think i like that one a lot more. It's more open ended and less 'worship us, btw what is your favourite distro?'.

Exactly. This does not seem like a cool place to work.

There aren't many jobs in Cobol or Fortran, and they tend to be powering things that aren't very junior-friendly. I would go for C#, Java, or (if you have a masochistic streak) C++. And SQL. Honestly Go seems to be over its honeym

Nice story, but BS. "Reddit’s latest Series F of $410 million dollars was funded by two lead investors. Fidelity Management and Research and Khaira Capital." The only source I could find that company is involved is crunchbase, whi

This may be in the middle of an A/B test - I still get pestered every time when in incognito mode.

TIL of Quarto... nice! I think Pryrite also has value - the terminal integration could be super useful for some tasks (especially for those of us that don't know emacs or its org mode)

Oh, this will be great for interactive environment setup. Getting started with some of our current projects is like summoning Cthulhu and I could see us using this to set up a guided process for it. I can see the resemblance to Notebooks&#x

I've flagged this - it's some combination of ad and FUD.

Outsourcing is a gamble - the effects of cultural and language differences have often been underestimated. For every company that wants to try it, there will be some some that have tried it and been stung, and want to hire local again. Thin

Out of interest, where did you go, and what were your reasons for stopping? I think I can relate to a lot of what you say. I'm not saying I'm doing things the right way, but I've met people that you're describing that ar

I think this is a really interesting discussion. I'm a bit of a nomad myself and cautious of the things you bring up - if everyone behaved like this, there'd be no community development and things would decay. But, you already see
