I guess you haven't received a lecture yet on naming programs or functions - here it goes - a) choose a word with meaning, b) avoid generic names and c) don't make your names too long or too short. I'm obviously being sarcas

Interesting - we received the same email but requester was a resident of Roanoke, Virginia. And the request was in regard to GDPR. It smelled like SPAM enough for me to check the email headers - SPF and DMARC passed and was sent from potoma

Stay away from consulting/building custom software - you might have to do it in the beginning to get funds, but aim to be a product company as soon as possible (saying so because you said software development company vs. software compa

It’s hard to remember - unless you have photographic memory. For the rest of us mortals we’re reduced to taking notes - which make books feel like textbooks! Not a good way to retain information and actually works against you enjoying readi

I believe your post is a cry for help. It's clear you're not happy or challenged enough. Perhaps you've simply been doing what you do for income and you're now trying to find some purpose. That said, I have a question: H

My initial reaction is you’re a CTO not a developer. Perhaps you’re trying to play both - something got to give if that’s the case given the leadership overhead. As others have mentioned- hire the best and empower them. If being a developer

We have an open source PHP application and we’ve been fielding dozens of questions asking if the app is vulnerable - even from IT managers / system admins who in my mind, should know better. This has me thinking no one cares anymore ab

I've always thought such TVs should have dual mode - let me turn on 3D when I want to e.g special occasions.

I get the need to protect privacy of the minors - and not snitch on them. But what about allowing parents to configure alerting part - same way you can do parental control. PS: Admittedly I didn’t read the entire article due to being behind

His site would be loading waaay much faster if he was using MySQL even with HN traffic! Joking aside - I see MySQL as an entry level database. There’s time and place for it - just like PHP. Using pq or whatever is better doesn’t automatical

I took 20 credit hours each semester to get 2 extra minors in addition to my degree. I should have just focused on my core courses and use extra time to work on my soft & people skills.

Being mindful all the time is tasking, exhausting and depressing. So much sh*t you have zero control over. I prefer being in the zone instead - mindfulness, for me, is best done periodically as part of reflection of sort.

Canceling credit cards is terrible idea if you care about credit - which has impact on managing your financials. If reason for cancel is to avoid using them then I would say cut them, but keep credit. Not all credits are bad… using them unw

I’ll concur to a point on financials - but older generation got married at 19 and had stable families, so it’s not truly about responsibilities. I think the idea of career first is a bigger factor and also we now live in a false “construct

I would say get a dog but you mention human interactions. Perhaps move close to family? Live with parents? I’m the opposite- I love being alone a little too much for comfort.

It’s sloppy on my part… I meant it’s more acceptable culturally to do so… not that they don’t care.

I think they do so to avoid culture split - giving individual team hiring decision from the get go can create culture bias, people would only give opportunity to people they "like" or that match the current culture, leading to inb

I said so because I think as rate of hire and employee count increases you need seasoned HR professionals. Wondered if head of HR is an engineer for example (didn’t bother to check) As a small employer myself - I’m CEO, Dev and HR. We’re on
