We try to get back to them asap with a message along the lines that they don't have the skills we're looking for right now, but will keep them in mind for a few months should things change. We've yet to catch a superstar with

For me, IRC, message boards, etc. I also think reading documentation is something that one needs to learn, and often answers a lot of questions. Even before Stack Overflow existed, I saw many ignore the documentation that was often right i

Yeah, I'm torn on this. I wrote C in emacs for 20 years, and still do. But when I write anything else, particularly javascript, java and rust, give me intellij ide's...

Crypto trading bot. Websockets, http, async stuff, some light crypto for authentication, database or redis access, some math. I feel it hits on so many points.

You sum up my 3-4 years writing in Go. I’m going to have to point people to this comment. Thanks.

I struggle to see what problem space is better for one or the other. I’ve replaced all my web service type stuff with Rust and couldn’t be happier. Also a lot of stuff I used to do in Python is more concise in Rust. No I hung up my Go boots

I've seen plenty over the years as a professional developer of 20+ years and they are opinion pieces for the most part. I'd rather see a title along the lines of "Why you should avoid subtransactions". Drinking bleach is

Even on that chart if you were hired mid 2019 you'd be looking at a 5% loss if paid in USD. That can be considerable. Of course the reverse could be true benefitting the worker as well. But more generally I'm assuming this is a p

Haven't we already been doing this for years? JQ has supported this for a long time as well.

I’ve been using a few Freenode channels via Matrix lately a while keeping my traditional irc clients open. A noticeable amount of messages never make it over to Matrix - as I collaborate with other developers in our irc, I don’t find these

This is unfortunate. I recently searched the App Store for “ssh tunnel” and Prompt 2 came up. I bought it without much thought as I heard about. Now I should have done my research but it doesn’t support tunneling or I couldn’t figure out. S

Reminds me when I used to interview people with masters and phds who were obviously helpless when it came to actual program construction. I like to think that my early ability to create code, a make file and package it up into something tha

Funny timing. Just got off my first Google Meet call an hour ago and was thinking they need to add noise cancellation. It was awful.

Drink and stay up too late. Kids and wife go to bed. Have a drink catch up on a few things. Should just stop there. Next thing you know I’ve had 3-4 strong beers and it’s 2am.

With a kid or kids that age it might be best to take a break. When my first born was 6 months I quit my full time job to do a startup. 12 months later my second was born. A year later we sold the startup. Focus was the job and family. Learn
