Amazing that we don't yet have a source control solution that's simpler than git. It should not be a barrier to entry for our profession.

This is the kind of thing that would cause people to distrust government and major pharmaceutical companies when they say a new vaccine should/must be taken by everyone.

This is super helpful but also very interesting. When technology fails to adapt to people and meet their needs, people must adapt to technology and meet its needs.

Interesting that HN is up in arms about this but I’d imagine most still use Google which spies on our kids in order to sell them stuff and manipulate their behavior. Why do we just accept that porn is being peddled to 10 year olds? I don’t

It’s tough to tell if I’m in the target market for this (I just own one piece of land with a house on it) and what kind of benefits and drawbacks I’d get from this if so. This isn’t something I’d ever considered so maybe that means it’s alr

I once swore to myself that I'd never monetize videos. Now my small-time channel has ads before my videos and I don't even have enough watch-time (yet) to monetize them to grab the pennies that could be mine. Once I do have the wa

I also use a Trello board for this and I’ve known that there is a market for this. I’ve been thinking of switching to Notion to try that out as my solution. That said, as I have been considering building something like this, I’ve imagined t

This is what Hired does. The issue is that they suggest stuff that’s not really helpful for me, e.g. suggesting I add Java as a top skill even though I’m a frontend leaning engineer with nearly no Java experience.
