I'm curious why you chose to build your own instead of go with something like NestJS?

If you look at how the infrastructure for managing dead bodies has held up in places where covid hit the hardest, it's pretty clear that many more people are dying than normal. If we were just shifting the cause of death from an exis

This seems a lot more like an ad for their products or ideas than a breakdown of great examples of practical designs. I was hoping for examples I could learn from.

The standard mouse hardware allows you to move the digital pointer relative to it's current position. That means you know need to know where the digital pointer is, and that's 100% visual. You could set up audio cues too give loca

One big issue with a mouse is that it's completely unusable for blind users. A touch tablet interface with a 1:1 mapping to points on the screen is significantly more accessible since you don't need visual feedback to know where y

The supply of jobs is still way above the available workers. A lot of people conflate coding jobs with valley, FAANG, or startup jobs. The reality is that every industry, institution, and every company is in the process of migrating their b

It's a really cool idea. Where is this currently being used, and what motivated you to develop it?

Phone number is definitely PII and can easily be used to de-identify. Mac address is better, but still not great. A Google or dump specific id would be best

I think the devil is in the details with this type of data hand off. If there's no PII in the first batch of phones, just location and a unique ID, it doesn't seem intrusive compared to the benefit. Law enforcement would need to m

California has laws explicitly prohibiting the latter. If you work on your own time with your own equipment, then the company doesn't own the IP. Technically, you're supposed inform your employer of the work, but I have no idea ho

Definitely. I started writing React/Typescript this way, and it's been a pleasure. Each component is just a function, so composing components is just a data pipeline. If you have few, key data structures that you're working w

One of the biggest employee complaints at almost every tech company I've worked at is a lack of work life balance. Most of my friends who still work in the bay struggle with having a life outside of work. Wanting to work 40 hours a wee

I've been a semantic CSS proponent for years, but I'm intrigued. CSS puts everything in a global namespace, which is an anti-pattern everywhere else. Most modern approaches have been moving towards limiting the scope of Cascading

I tend to avoid them for storage, but I've found them to be really useful in committed queries. I CSN aggregate a bunch of values into an array on a single record and perform all sorts of useful calculations on them

Senior roles require that you can break down large problems into digestible chunks. "gotcha" questions don't tell an interviewer how good you are architecting, or how well you understand the language. "gotchas" are

FB would have to not give personally identifying info (PII) to the app in the first place. The main reason apps (from a user's perspective) need PII are 1) Display it to you or someone else in the app, or 2) perform a calculation or ac

I'm curious to see what FB does to mitigate this sort of data grab in the future. Is there anything stopping them from creating a walled garden around user data? For instance, they could enforce that any code with access to user PII ha

I thought the same thing. That's really bad. It's going to train users to be more susceptible to phishing attacks. I can't tell my grandmother that any site that tells her to install software is a scam, because Facebook just

I can't load the senate.gov website with the HTTPS Everywhere browser plugin. The plugin redirects the senate HTTP URL back to the No HTTPS warning. It's easy to get around by going incognito, but this would seriously confuse the

If web developers want to build applications for anyone outside the West, they'll need to work on faster page loads. A large percent of the world views the the internet on mobile devices with a slow connection. Blocking content until a

The software is in alpha, so I imagine screen reader accessibility is lower on their priority list. Once it becomes late stage beta, then accessibility complaints are more reasonable. Until then, core features should take precedence.

Overall, I really like the cocnept. I'm looking forward to watching it evolve!

I like them initially, but they return every time you come back. Only showing them once would be a much more pleasant experience.

Do you have Adblock installed? That caused an error for me.
