This is hilarious. Would be great as the first round of technical interviews. Pokemon trivia: Ekans and Arbok are reversed Snake and Kobra.

I used it a few times for some quick photo edits. Along with Figma one of the brightest examples of how browser apps can be slick, performant and powerful.

Partially true. It takes some time to learn how to spot genuine reviews. However, even in the "encouraged" reviews you can still discover what problems people solve with certain class of tools and how much money they're ready

The most important part: Finding a customer category that regularly spends money on the kind of software you're intending to build can make it signficantly easier to actually sell them software. Go to Capterra or G2 and read what act

This article nudge me to google "SQL optimization tool". I found one that says: "Predict performance bottlenecks and optimize SQL queries, using AI". Basically, it gives you suggestions on how to improve your queries. I

I recently updated Pixel Wheels banner image on Google Play. That triggered a review of the game: shortly after the update I received a message telling me Pixel Wheels was "not compliant with Google Play Policies". What nefarious

How about car software? I used Blender as an example because it's open source.

When you start drawing diagrams of non-trivial software, for instance Blender (an open source tool for building 3D models and animations), you start to understand how complex and complicated software is. No other machine built by humans is

Yesterday I watched a video about how Netflix scaled its API with GraphQL Federation.[0] The video contains some neat visualizations that helps you see how complex data accees problems at scale can get. And this is just the services level t

It looks like it's time to put to bed the "how to draw an owl in 2 steps" meme. Some generated creatures are straight out of the animal uncanny valley. So amazing and fun. It's even better than "Quick, Draw!" b

The only “trick” is that this preparation seems so boring, so impossibly tedious, that when we see the effect we can’t imagine that anyone would do something so tedious just for this simple effect . Even magicians who know many tricks will

Sketch unbundled Photoshop, while Figma offered something Photoshop never had - collaboration. Sketch changes how designers work, while Figma do that equally well + it changes how teams work.

Creating animatioms in XD is awesome. Haven't had that much fun in years. As a tool it misses a lot of features present in Sketch and Figma.

Changing customer needs are the largest source of entropy in markets. When customer needs rapidly change, there is less advantage in being an incumbent. Instead, legacy companies are left with all the overhead and a product that no longer

Neat and simpl data mining and tool for the output coming from this product: https://iwishtherewas.app/ that was posted to Show HN yesterday. Give us the answer to "What people want?"

Coming from C++ I doubt Go and Rust would be fun to you so I recommend Clojure.

He would have lost that one, too. It was hubris—but it sold, and it is part of his legacy. He showed younger colleagues how to chase grand theories and best-selling books. Hawking is not the only physicist guilty of hawking. The theory of

Yeah, like a language. However if I ommit a commmmma or mispel or abbreviate smth you'll still be able to understand me. A computer on the other hand...

I struggle with memorizing CLI commands' parameters and special characters. This happens with git commands too and I use them all the time. Something like CLI autocomplete would be awesome.

Once learned the GUI actions are impossible to forget. Being away from the computer for two weeks will make you forget 80% of the CLI commands from the author's list. The reason is simple: the brain can associate the GUI actions to man

Node's dependencies forming a black hole that will suck in everything that's good is just a meme. Its actual biggest downside is not being opinionated resulting in fragmentation - meaning every Node project is different in its own

The current site is not very informative. Copywriting is hard. Fortunately, your own rewording from one of the comments here is much better at explaining the tool: 'It’s a “Rapid application development” tool, targeting developers who

Enriching the responses with demographic data, extracting interesting features with NLP and then clustering against those features could give you some good insights. I.e. Millennials in Belgium are not happy with their toy stores.

My theory is that just like learning to ski or building muscles the process can be accelerated by a really good, dedicated, 1 on 1 personal trainer. You will save a lot of time by not having to unlearn and learn again basic stuff you should

Yeah, single responsibility principle is the key takeaway from that book. Clean Code is a must for all programmers and I can recommend it as a prequel to CA. It's written by the same author after all. I have a feeling the OP is looking
