They are easy enough to remember for a few seconds if you need to configure it somewhere. I always ping 8.8.8.8 to verify my internet connectivity. I don't think people should underestimate how much IP addresses are entered manually on

I disagree. The React API arguably changed more often than Vue. Remember the migration path from class based components > functional components > overly complicated React Hooks? And how about styling components? There are millions of

You are 100% right. People simply want everything: rich, flexible and robust API's. That's not possible. Pick 2, not 3. Also think of the time you have saved by building on top of so many building blocks. Everything's a trade

I agree. I also think the author blindly followed up on some automatic GitHub bot suggestions only to find out you can't just upgrade everything. My experience is actually the opposite: it's never been easier to develop at scale i

I somehow feel something important is not being discussed, and that is competency. Perhaps in Silicon Valley it is normal that engineers take ownership and are smart enough to figure out what is valuable and what is not, but I can assure yo

Presenting scrum metrics to management is definitely not scrum. That's the opposite of scrum.

I fully agree, but I feel you vastly underestimate the difficulty of having a team that more or less adheres to these few principles. In your average Fortune 500 corp, it's next to impossible to have it without prescribing. If scrum is

Focus Mode / Do Not Disturb infuriates me. All I want is for my notifications to not light up the screen and make any sounds except for calls. Is that so hard? It keeps getting more complex.

There's no reason to obfuscate your message by using unnecessary abbreviations. What's wrong with avoiding ambiguous abbreviations and typing out "user generated content"? Letters on HN are free. Why be lazy when you can

I have no idea wat UGC is. Can you please not use abbreviations that serve no purpose other than confuse the reader?

I agree, but I think it can be formulated in a better way. I.e. it's not about saying "no", it's about having a meaningful conversation about priority to reach a shared understanding with all stakeholders why we are doin

The cost is not only in money, but also in time, and requiring more upfront planning. Legitimate concern imo.

What's stopping people from robbing you at gunpoint? The law. GDPR is specific about consent and the purpose of collecting data. It's simply illegal to feed the data to marketers.

The QR code has the first letters of your fist and last name, as well as date of birth (without the year). Let's say your name is Gerrit de Winter, born May 3 1973. The QR code would then contain: G W 5/3 Nothing is stopping you f

It's not a PoC, CoronaCheck is the app that will be used in The Netherlands for generating QR codes. The domestic QR code will be much more friendly with respect to privacy as explained by radicalbytes. The reason that it's not be

DCC (Digital Covid Certificate it's called, not Digital Green Pass) is essentially a spec for a QR code (as demonstrated nicely in this post) + an EU signing gateway which is used for signing the certificates. The EU acts similar to a

Not true at all. It almost immediately took off and transformed economies within a decade. The same can't be said for crypto. Crypto is older than the internet was _after_ the dotcom bubble.

Shielding is a tricky thing. Shielding is nice, less stuff to worry about, but also reduces transparency. In the end you're not working for your manager. Your manager will not use the thing that you are building. I would say that any m

This is quite subjective, but taking some time to analyze the piece and figuring out what works best for you is usually better than just doing without thinking.

One important piece of advice is missing: sleep. So many times I've struggled with a certain piece, only to be able to play it flawlessly the following day.

To add to this: I often create small side projects that are at least useful to myself. I think I never created a project where I didn't re-use at least one piece of code in a later project.

For me setting 10% aside as "do as you please" feels like a restriction on creativity as well. It's hard to "plan" creativity. I think culture and trust is much more important than setting a number.

You could argue that having fun is the end goal of things. Why do we do things that we consider important? Why is it important? Somewhere down the line everything we do should enable someone having fun. If not, then why bother?

Not everybody is Feynman ofcourse. You have to accept the risk that giving freedom for creativity won't end up with anything useful.
