   Things like commuting, having fixed working hours, trapped in an expensive lifestyle. Which is why I quit my job in London. Deadlines and technical problems dont bother me too much. This job is flexible working and is in a cheaper city with

   Thanks for your input, would you say the stress levels are the same as what you would get in a startup? In terms of culture, I have no idea what it will be like. I will be their 14th hire as a senior developer.

   I have used JWTs only for mobile sessions. Else I opt for the gateway pattern (a service handles authentication and then forwards requests to other microservices).

    I would say neither is very good for hacking in the short term, unless you are doing something very low lever (compression, data processing, drone automation etc) If you are wanting to build a web product then, a quick google search will re

    What do you want to know? I am a developer who uses Dropwizard a lot. If you are just hacking away, maybe check out a lighter framework like Spark Java or Javalin

    Hey, Not a self build, but I have just completed the first phase of a renovation. For me the main struggles were getting it wind and water tight especially in a location with bad weather. Renovation is a gamble, people have said it makes it

    Nice review, I will consider some of those things when building sites now. After reading your post and then reading more stuff, it appears that Mastodon is going to become the Gab.ai for Leftists. Which seems to be ironic in a way. The inte

    Went to Christiania, it's a complete dump filled with weed dealers, happy pants stalls and people touting Far Eastern mysticism. The only thing that's curious is the slow decay of the buildings and the ageing hippy / anarchi

    I see, I was more referring to the people / think tanks and charity groups who are "raking" it in. I am almost tempted to setup a research project to prove that climate change is making people's Cats more aloof. Maybe I

    Is it just me, or does it seem like there is big business to be had in climate change and climate denial? A lot of money appears to be flowing into these two camps.
