The worst part is that you end up breaking your fingers when you want to angry type a rant about the keyboard. :) I picked up a bluetooth mechanical keyboard that I just carry around with me and don't use the laptop's actual keybo

I took a quick look at the list of commands and they looked so similar to the primary git commands I use that it seemed like a waste. Better to just learn how to use git.

I think the basic idea is sound. If all you're after is learning to program and running little toy programs, then web based REPLs are a great choice. My primary development environment is vim combined with CLI commands (and some wrappi

It sounds like they don't have enough incentive to stay? I know some others have mentioned financial incentive, but really enjoying the work you're doing and the people you work with may be even more important.

I completely agree with that when I'm using the laptop unplugged, especially if it's on my lap and I want to get maximum battery life. However, if I'm sitting at a desk where it's plugged in I would like to get as much p

Very cool read and a lot of your happy discoveries are similar to reasons why I like coding in Go, especially your "Less Language Feature ‘Anxiety’" section. No guessing about how to do something, there's generally only one w

So true. Often technical debt is intentionally taken on as a calculated risk to get to market faster with the intention of fixing it later. Fixing it later rarely happens though. In my experience it either ends up being someone else's

I think the problem is that there's a perception that a phone call is an interrupt event. Because you have a person on the phone waiting for you to answer, you have to (or should) answer the call. So, if the matter is important then a

I've had a similar experience with the spam calls. I don't get quite as many per day, but ~90% of the calls I receive are spam. I just don't answer my phone anymore unless it's my wife, my mom, or one of my brothers. I d

I had to read the post twice before I really got what she was saying. I think the distinction I would make is that while there are many more use cases that you can apply to Containers that may not apply to Jails, Zones, or VMs the most comm

Looks like that has 8 cores? I would imagine it would make a huge difference depending on other loads on the system. I gave it a try on my file server at home that has an AMD E-350 processor with 2 cores and it shaved off a good 42% of the

My general rule is that I will stay with the same job for at least 1 year. Part of that is to not look like I'm job hopping, but mostly it's because it generally takes me around 6 months to fully acclimate to the environment and a

I fall into the "developer 1" category myself. I only recently started doing side projects in my own time (and publishing them on github), almost entirely because I was starting to run into walls job searching without a "por

Should have named it red pill. :) Seriously though, I was more excited when I thought it was about running Linux inside the browser. Personally, I have no interest in installing an extra VM on my system just to make your development easier.

Very interesting background and well written. My own schooling was more straightforward. I went through K-12 normally in (thankfully good) public schools in NJ and then got my BS in computer science at a relatively normal 4 year university.

That research lines up pretty well with my own experience in college. It haunted me until my 3rd year when I was so bogged down with advanced projects that I just couldn't keep procrastinating because I was only barely getting the minimum d

My boss is pretty cool about this. He asks for estimates on tasks for resource management purposes, but he assumes the estimates are wrong out of the gate and we adjust as the project progresses. So, I agree that focusing on an arbitrary de
