As a student its one of those things that you can't risk not having on your résumé. There's always one recruiter or one document-scraping application portal that could reject it. Plus every career counselor I've seen has su

I remember reading an article that studied junior and senior devs and discovered that there was no way to get better at debugging. No matter how much experience someone had, their ability to problem solve was about the same. I think that mi

As others have said, try to clone something already out there! But start as small as possible. Like, for Instagram. First, just the scrolling list of images. Then, images with text under them. Then, a tab bar with images and a profile. Afte

As a composer I agree to some extent. Like, I don't sit down and say "oh lets use some augmented sixths today", but I definitely refer back to the "rules" of music theory a lot when I get stuck or I'm looking

As a Rust newbie: macros, lifetimes, and (when I really first started), closures. All of that syntax just seemed so messy to me. The borrowing model was actually my favorite part because it not only was interesting, but made sense! And the

Yeah. I've always wondered why MS puts the window previews there when the Timeline view and multi-desktop view shows the window contents. macOS imo does a much better job: Mission Control is for all graphical work. For power users, Al

Zoom is SO much more seamless than Meet. Its desktop clients exist, are usable, and don't force you to keep trying Chrome whenever something breaks. (I swear Google never tests their prodcuts on FF/Safari...) Meet also has a very

Nope! According to this article[0], Dropbox used to use Zoom internally, and no matter how many serious bugs they discovered+reported, many are still in the software today, years later. [0] https://www.nytimes.com/2020/

Yep. I've read a lot of medium articles that have zero actual substance and are just pharaphrasing a different article. Or, they are advocating for an objectively bad principle that the first SO result says is not optimal...

In a similar vein, singing to a more "natural" tuning (i.e. quarter-comma mean tone) is insanely more comfortable. Adam Newley and 12Tone on youtube have excellent videos that explore this topic further!
