The main goal of raising children, after keeping them alive, is teaching them the skills they need to survive and (hopefully) thrive in their world. These skills have changed over time and vary based on environment, society. Today, that mea

This is very backend-centric. It can't compare to a framework like SvelteKit or NEXT or NUXT, where the primary benefit is also shipping your tightly-integrated frontend code to the browser. .NET apps are old school, full refresh app

It's full stack because you write the code that you want to run on the server AND the code that you want to be shipped to the browser both within SK. Not because it does everything. You would want to choose your favorite libraries fo

I completely agree except that I would say "full stack framework" instead of "frontend framework." Just add a db and you are good to go. I tried it out when building a couple of non-critical internal apps for clients (b

Speech is a reflection of thought. If a person does not think clearly, that person cannot communicate clearly. The opposite is often (but not always) true. If a person does not communicate clearly, it is usually because they cannot think

Just to be clear, I'm not trying to insult anyone at a boring business. I work in insurance, one of the most boring of the boring businesses. I happen to like it. And I don't mind saying that the industry needs to and wants to

If a potential employer really thinks that about all Twitter employees, you don’t want to work there. SV-style companies are going through a typical cycle where the money was cheap and flowed freely, and now it does not. So those companies

That used to be the case, but much less so today. Look alike is at least 10x less effective in my experience since more than 90% of clicks are mobile, and most on iOS.

It does seem like this is basically what they are doing. The messages employees received did not include the actual paperwork, which the messages say will come in about a week. It could be interpreted as a strategy to "terminate&quot

I suspect in 5 years we will look back and see a trend that all of these tech layoffs supercharged the current crop of tech startups. Seed and series A stage companies have been starved of talent for a long time now.

I haven't given it a lot of thought, but I tend to agree with you. The sister comment to your comment (about AAPL and it's tracking/privacy changes and the effects on other companies) is a good example why. Some externaliti

I think what they are really trying to do here is come up with a legal theory that internalizes what economists call "externalities." One economic actor, in doing what is in its individual best interest, creates negative effects

If it does end up that way, I feel like the trickle away from github will become a stampede. And that would be unfortunate. Having such a good hub for sharing and learning code is useful, but only if licenses are respected. If not, peopl

It's up to you if you accept 90 days in a contract or not. And if you accept 90, then it's absolutely within their right to wait until day 90. Why would they not? It was agreed up front.

Your behind the scenes perspective is very interesting. From a small business customer perspective: I have a small local business that I run on the side. It's a franchise type of business like what you would see in your local strip ma

Parenthood is very much a roll of the dice. It’s a game of chance, and you get what you get. I’m always a bit amused by people who aren’t parents yet who are considering adoption and are very set on a baby as opposed to an older child. Most

Facebook is strategically no different than myspace a decade or two ago. When the cool kids go somewhere else, it becomes clear that the platform itself was nothing special. Edit: I was downvoted, but I stand by what I wrote. Google has A

If he did lie about your performance, and if there were not documented examples of your performance to back up every single thing he said, that would also be grounds for an easy lawsuit. Tortious interference with employment. That's wh

This particular article is short on details. In another article I read some time ago, there were allegations of a general theme of being a bit too dogmatic about natural birth, even in emergent circumstances. Women and their families were o

IME, companies usually only stop providing guidance when there is unusual uncertainty specifically to the downside. So in my view, it is a negative sign.

A lot of comments here are along the lines of, “how you’re feeling is not really about what you think it’s about.” I think that’s very dismissive. Just because some others can’t relate, that doesn’t mean what you feel is not valid. We are

It's been a few years now, but a co-founder and I took the 'solo' (almost) route, refused to take money we didn't really need yet, refused to hire employees we didn't really need yet. We spent 8 months building our

Agreed. The title of this article could have been, "Top EVERYTHING on Amazon are a Scam." I started buying a lot from Amazon way back when they mostly sold books and CDs. Was a Prime Member for years after that became a thing.

I find it challenging to estimate my own time in tasks. Part of every task is figuring out how to actually do the thing you are wanting to do, and sometimes that takes 5 minutes and sometimes much longer. So I am terrible at estimating my o

I second this about the declining quality of docs. Part of the proliferation of different solutions to the same problem IMO is that existing solutions might have such poor documentation that it may seem easier to seriously reinvent the whe

My hometown newspaper has been completely gutted since the late 90s. It's not just FB's fault. There are other factors. The Internet in general. But it is disturbing to me. The local politicians are more corrupt than ever bec
