When I was a kid like 15 years ago we'd walk to school if it was close. I took the bus until middle school which was like 1 mile away. I hope car usage goes down, especially a single person driving a big SUV. Walk, or bike, to where yo

Feelings probably. Because so many people have three or more homes now while so many more will never be able to own even one let alone afford rising rents. So they feel bad for the moment and make up words so they can feel better and probab

I’m not saying specifics but let’s just say some people will not be happy. And that’s okay.

I just stop mentoring people like that. Their loss, and honestly I don’t want to spend my time around such people anyway because some personality traits are just incompatible to work with.

Use managed services for any crud services like your REST api or whatever with auto scaling. Use firebase auth (free at all scales) and Firestore for real time updates and firebase messaging for notifications. You can use it for static cont

I don’t know how to deal with legal things. I spoke with my local SBA advisor who said I need to get a lawyer since I will be collecting PII. The quotes from lawyers are pretty expensive and I’m not exactly from a socioeconomic background t

I hope k8s and related needless complexities go away for the masses. I would rather focus on building a product and clicking a couple buttons that allow millions to use it (managed solutions). Oh no it costs 10k, let me spend 1m+ on hiring

Not joking. I’m also working on a social app, and I think it’s great when I hear other tinkerers speak about their passionate work.

Buddy, think about the poor starving VCs. They got into certain coins at prices at fraction of a dollar. They need 10000x returns so they can keep putting 100m into a saas company that sales force can buy.

Well, you can also get rejected doing a few brain teasers in a row. Sometimes I even feel dumber at the end because I didn't "see the twist" or whatever. I've done a few of those take homes, and none of them ever really

I’d rather smash out a four hour coding assignment than do a brain teaser at 8am, followed by another one.

I mean things can be addictive. I used to smoke hella weed and was dependent on it to function. Basically I was addicted to wake and bake and just be high all day. I was still “functional” to others but to myself I was miserable and a husk.

I got the new iPhone SE (small screen) in 2020 so I limit my screen time. It has worked but not as well as I'd hoped for.. maybe I need to go back to my razr.

I was using google places API for a bit, but realized it is WAAAAYYY TOO EXPENSIVE to start with, so I looked for alternatives. I really like TomTom's search API and docs. The results are not the most accurate, but fine for my purposes

Same here. I have a scaffold I use, with a tsconfig and some other common boilerplate. Personally I avoid using big frameworks like nest, etc. and just use my simple boiler plate and add functionality I'll need. Most of the boilerplate

That was the worst manager I've ever worked for. He also never pronounced my name right even after I told him, so he can go f** off. Still triggers me to this day :D He pulled the SEO requirement at the last minute, since he would not

My opinion is that for a couple of years companies were able to coast on the retained employee knowledge while remote. However as people leave the company or new people join, it is pretty difficult to ramp people up to be as effective as th

I had the pleasure (aka hell mode) of building a content site as a SPA because some non-technical manager kept pushing it (it was one of those companies). It was an insane task to meet all the SEO requirements, we ended up doing server rend

Imo nothing beats IRL. Metaverse is okay but considering people are depressed and isolated being on social media today I don’t see how adding even more layers between reality is going to help. I wish technology would make IRL better, instea

I know right? All they've done is just put a huge amount of people in concentration camps and silenced dissidents, while consolidating power in a one party state ruled by a dictator.

Don't see this working in USA. I've never been to Europe, but work with many who are from there. You get socialized healthcare, cities with easy transit, and for the most part things are close. In the US, we don't have health

What is the actual goal here? Can someone please explain to me why this is all happening? What an absolute disgrace that we fight each other over BS orders. So many lives, especially of young people, lost for what?

I get what you're saying but isn't that fairly rare? Yes it obviously sucks when it happens, but an outlier in such a system vs everyone in the digital system isn't that hard to decide upon.
