Another “conspiracy theory” turns out to be a fact.

I have been enjoying Kagi. Don’t mind the $10 per month to support something that caters to me rather than advertisers.

This is the goofiest API versioning scheme I have ever heard of. Reminds me of opening a java project and finding stuff like joda-time-2004-11.jar.

Definitely helps with having the confidence to pick something back up and start working on it again without worrying about breaking stuff.

The container landscape is getting crowded. As a person who just wants to get things done with containers it’s not immediately obvious where I should be focusing my efforts due to the proliferation of “container solutions”. It seems especia

In a sufficiently large organization with legal, hr, compliance, etc. it can be brutal to get someone fired for incompetence. Often they will start looking at the manager rather than the employee. Especially if you inherit a whole team of t

Fair point. Although in my experience the most useless people at work usually spend working hours jacking around with their plex server, daytrading crypto, etc.

What is the likelihood that one of these people is on such a site as this? They are avoiding work after all. Not trying to get better at it.

Man the slackware clock thing is so common. “Is that in confluence?” burns me up regularly. Things like how to delete a file in git. Or revert a file. As the number of tools required to build software continues to grow there are more and mo

I think the OP took the strictest and dumbest definition of testing possible, used that as his straw man, and then lit it on fire. The fact that systems level programmers, generally speaking, have a disregard for testing automation is appar

I don’t know anybody that is blown away by keyboard auto suggest. It’s wrong as often as it is right. Not saying it isn’t useful, but let’s not oversell it.

Maybe I’m a weirdo but I tend to look at peoples mouths more than their eyes. I’m not hard of hearing, but I feel like it helps me follow conversations better.

I can see the benefit of installing things in the home directory. Thats something that was always frustrating with brew. You install postgres, but where do things like the configs and data directory live? But I also don’t want a bloated 50g

I think people expect that things could go significantly better, if the “system” were better. I disagree. In most cases, by the time they hit the ICU, you have a patient that is circling the drain from old age and chronic conditions and all

50k IUs per day. That seems like a lot. I have been taking 5k twice a day with zinc and quercetin since my last bout of illness. Maybe I should consider more.

Oh no, are wealth transfer schemes are foiled. Can’t have that.

It’s incredible how they managed to rehab their image almost overnight. Anybody remember the bextra scandal? Yeah, these are the same corrupt corporations.

Are you confident it won’t go to $5? I’m not.

Sure, I’m not stupid. I would turn around and sell it to some other fool. And thats the problem. There is honestly no price I could buy it at where I would be willing to hold.

It’s amazing to me that enough people still believe in the crypto scam to keep pumping BTC above $15k. I guess they are still managing to mint fools at a fast enough pace to keep the price up.

It’s mostly enterprise stuff. I have a local rails app and local springboot app that I keep around and am constantly trying stuff out in. If it starts to look like it would be generally useful I will rip it out, put it in it’s own repo, set

I have long running ruby and java apps that I use for this purpose. They have build scripts, test frameworks, etc. When I get an idea for something new I add them to one of these existing projects, but I do it in a way that I can easily ex

Thats a very tough call on the part of the business. Another example would be turning out your security or internal audit teams. Sure, it will help the bottom line now, but it may not seem so bright in the near future.

It’s a big assumption that they are turning out top talent. In my experience these type of cuts usually impact a small number of top performers, but most of the people cut would be considered average performers (by definition) and from team

I have met so many developers that have the mistaken notion that doing things other than programming is somehow far beneath them. They are indignant that the business would hire people to check in on what they are doing day to day. But I se

False dichotomy. Just like green anything. Kill the planet or go back to pre-industrial living standards. How about no. Why not use our talent and resources to find ways to increase the standards of living while also improving their afforda

It depends on the workload. You absolutely can parallelize many processes using tools like Sidekiq. My single threaded ruby app might take hours to query data sequentially from an API. But with sidekiq suddenly you have to throttle your con
