I totally agree with this. I am in a situation right now where the skip level manager is asking to schedule meetings every other day to talk on a problem that requires research. They want to talk about a solution and not letting us find one

I understand it takes one text editor to write a static website. But hear me out, If you asked a dev today to make a landing page, they look for templates instead of writing that stuff. It's possible, but it's not probably today.

Yo! exactly my point. I never expect new devs to be experts. But the labor I am spending to teach one of those newbies (well 1.5yrs of experience) about how to check for a port listening is just astonishing. Being a whiz and knowing the bas

I use Alacritty full time (tried kitty, didn't work with my workflow), personal and work. I am not ruling those off. I don't mean to come as mean and conservative. I just don't like the over emphasis on "spoon feeding&qu

vim wars. I am on the vim side. I don't care about vscode that much. The only gripe is the first class support vscode gets in terms of plugins as compared to (neo)vim.

The vim purist having 0 config wasn't my original thought. I had heard about it before and I have seen talks where the speaker would do everything with default vim syntax and not use plugins or maps. I personally have a bunch of plugin

I have an HP laptop with a 3rd gen i5, fairly low powered repurposed with Linux and Plex as a home server. I am using it as a media server, file storage with hard disks attached and also as the primary tailscale host to have a mesh of perso

I like the idea of beginners terminal. To make them used to using keyboard instead of hunting for icons and menus. Once they are comfortable, they will find faster alternatives and end right back to the default plain terminal.

The inflow of new engineers which are not so familiar with traditional tools like a basic terminal and a text editor. That was all which was needed to write software. Most of the software stack was quite flat back then. Today, the way every

There are a few ways I think I could find gratification in what I do with computers. Building something that other people use (they could have complains, that's fine). Probability because of humans liking the feeling of being needed. E

WW3 will require the involvement of atleast China and USA and then these countries pull in their allies because the battle ground is Eurasia. So countries like Germany, France, England, India because of resources and man power. At this poin

I like the key attributes part. The engineers are paid by the hour, so they are incentivised to have the project running for as long as possible. I don't think it's cheap to get an offshore team to do because the engineers might b

They have to do it because VCs aren't going to stick around years for your organic growth. It was supposed to be a proof of viability and then proper quality product. With this model of money making, it's just the PoC.. no need fo

The whole stock market is just a speculation game now. With no real value defined behind it's price. All software and strategy is defined on finding stock at a higher price due to any reason. If you can't find a reason, make one.
