I was wondering why remote work didn't become the golden standard even in the 2000s. Imagine fully-remote Internet dot-com era companies that don't require any hardware, can hire from anywhere in the country or the world, don&#x27

I guess I'm not the only kid who was into assembly! Impressive stuff. In 7th grade in 2001 I moved to the US, and got really into the whole TI-83 ecosystem. Got a sprite editor published to ticalc.org, and memorized the z80 opcodes in

Growing up in Belarus in the 90s, the ES-1841 was my first computer. I accidentally formatted a games diskette on it for the first time, after accidentally fumbling something in Norton Commander. I think I was around 6. I was one of the few

This is an example of what websites should be like. Whimsically creative and a little unhinged.

I know a dozen programmers like this. It's true that it's not easy to get fired if you're a constant benefit to the team's productivity, but it's very hard to get promoted under most organizations' promo guidel

From the gif I originally thought this was a "AI" predictive typing assistant, which would not require a shortcut map heuristic but rather predict text based on probability.

I don't understand how people can plan customer growth with OKRs like "get 666,250 additional visitors". Or "increase revenue by 8,000,000 by EOY". First of all, why EOY? And where does that 8m number come from? It

This, along with a very lax vetting process, is certainly not without unexpected repercussions.

Thanks for the transparent response. Even if some or all answers are used to either fully customize the program for the user, or to place the user in a particular track, it's still a bad onboarding experience. The customer wants to see

Be honest, do the survey answers affect the resulting program? I literally put in random numbers and answers each time and it took me to the same exact payment page. There's also a "loading" screen that doesn't do anythi

Throw away 1st, second, third, etc... Write your code in small replaceable/disposable POCs until at some point the architecture and coherence starts to take shape. That's the advantage of software over other work. You have 0 mater
