I don’t buy into this narrative. Every generation has some form of “kids were better when I grew up” and there has been a very long history of kids not respecting others, your generation included. Things are changing as they always do, but

Likewise, we’re using NX at my company and it has been a great experience. Previous mono repo experiences were nothing short of a nightmare so it’s refreshing to see tooling come so far.

I never experienced competition like this in the Army, however I have outside of it. The Army was competitive in a fun way. Where it’s fun to beat your friends in PT or to laugh as they trip over. But when it came down to it, we were on the

I refuse to believe this is normal and I have happily cut people out of my life for this. The most painful moment was when I had a close friend almost enjoy the fact my wife had a miscarriage. It was completely insensitive and made me reali

Every year or so I try to go back to VSCode but I can’t get past how good the git and database integrations are in JetBrains.

Free markets are the end state, not what is required to become successful. We can see this in countries that have prospered over the last century. Japan and South Korea both had huge land reforms effectively killing the landlord class and r

I’m not sure if this is a joke but if not.. Governments often have complicated forms that need to cater for a broad range of users. So you need things like conditioning steps, file uploads and progress saving. Have fun doing that in pure HT

Thanks for sharing, I had difficulty empathising with the OP but this puts it in perspective. I’m curious, did these ideas come from your upbringing?

Your values are the guide. If your values are to report someone to win brownie points with your boss, it’s probably time to revisit them. Another great guide is asking yourself what you’re trying to accomplish.

This baffles me. It’s well known that exercise is beneficial for overall health. Sure, some people die doing it just like some people die doing literally anything else.

I’ve never been in a situation like the author, but I grew up in an incredibly frugal family and I’ve had moments where income was very tight. Those were some of the most stressful times of my life. My mind was fixated on making money and e

While interesting, I’m struggling to find a use case for rem or mod in CSS. Does anyone have an example of where this could be useful?

I’ve just got a new role and it took me about 2 months of looking. I did find there were quite a few jobs out there and start ups too, but no where near as much as a year or two ago when LinkedIn was crazy.

I’d say the biggest difference with Radix is that it isn’t opinionated on how you style a component. I work in a design agency and I’ve always struggled with component libraries because they weren’t flexible enough. Radix has been a godsend

Bouldering It’s such an easy way to keep in shape, meet people, problem solve and relax. I mostly do indoor climbing, but outdoors is fantastic as well. Also, I specifically mention bouldering because it is a lot more social than rock climb

This is a great approach and largely how we operate. One of the downsides is that it’s quite stressful for junior team members who don’t have the confidence to run a project. We’ve managed to offset that by having them shadow a more senior
