Duckduckgo isn't a 'search engine', they just get their results from Bing, they don't crawl shit themselves. They're good at marketing and convincing technically illiterate people to use them, that's all. Look

Sure there is. You can use common crawl[0] to start with. You don't need to be the 'next Google', you just need to give relevant results and that's a completely solved issue at this point. [0] https://commoncra

Well good luck with that. They can only target places like Facebook/Twitter, there's hundreds of smaller social sites that will just completely ignore this shit. Not to mention the internet is global, so really they can't enf

Why do people insist on trivialising our profession so much? You don't get bootcamps for doctors or airline pilots. But people think they can go on some course, shit out a few lines of javascript/ruby/whatever and go get a jo

I had a stripe account terminated for violating their terms (spoiler alert, I hadn't) but any crypto offering by them will be subject to the same terms. It's absolutely toxic that companies like this think they can move into the c

Yeah but this is backwards. We're remembering how to remember something instead of just actually remembering the thing.

It has to be successful at some level, otherwise why would they keep sending it? So I don't think it will ever be solved because fundamentally it's a human issue, not a technological one. While people remain gullible the spammers

Uncensored version of outline.com. I like it. Paywalled sites should be dropped from search indexes. Showing up in search results when people can't access it is basically just a free advertisement.

So long as you're fluent in the underlying language in this case JS (and I guess TS too), you'll be fine. All the frameworks and tools are just built on top of those, once you know the basics you're set.

Yeah but that's just an American-centric take, there's plenty of companies out there that don't give a flying f*ck about American laws and congress.

Do people even use Windows still? Especially in this community. I moved to Ubuntu years ago and it just works (mostly). Windows is nothing but hassle, especially with the constant restarts.
