Agreed - this article reads like a "get good" message to "amateurs". Which, sure, you should be striving for constant improvement - but if you work in an environment where sloppy/quick work is incentivized I would a

This is a good point. I wish there was more discussion around when to consider making these decisions, how to transition, what types of systems are in the middle ground between bedroom and facebook, etc. It seems all of the articles/

HN users have read 1984 one too many times. It is possible to think that SV has too much power AND that they still have the right to deem what is acceptable on their own services. You can be entitled to free speech without being entitled to

I'm not a lawyer, and at the risk of sounding ignorant, but I don't understand how a Polish law can be enforced on a company/service/piece of hardware under US (presumably, but could be any other) jurisdiction. At the en

I swear this same exact post gets re-dressed and upvoted weekly. Is there anything worth discussing here? The entire thesis of the post is "my blog is maintenance free". Ok, and? Is blog maintenance really a noteworthy topic? How

The "slippery slope" / "free speech" arguments are boring, and come into play almost anytime Facebook gets mentioned on HN. "Slippery slope" is also most commonly a fallacy , which a lot of people seem to

Svelte is be recommended left and right as the "solution to React" but I think it's still way too young of a project to be the cure-all that people think it is. It's promising, especially for smaller projects/MVPs,

I'm curious - what's the conversion ratio for this? I like the idea of this but can't help but think it's ripe for being taken advantage of (on both sides). Have you had trouble with converting to full time offers? Have

Selfishly, no, you should offer to pay what you think is fair for the exchange of service you receive. If you get the same quality work from a person who lives in NYC as a person who lives in Ohio, the pay should be equal. But, as a busines

"Temp code" is the biggest lie anyone will ever tell you as a programmer. Everyone will have perfectly good intentions, from PMs to directors to ICs, but "this is only temporary" almost never is.

Yup, we recently implemented auto linting/formatting using pre-commit hooks and it's made a huge difference in maintainability and readability. I don't care about the specific formatting/linting rules as much as I care a

Yup - from a implementation perspective, bug vs feature is a artificial designation. Where I think it _does_ matter, is when a business wants to track metrics like "# of bugs over time" or "# of bugs per feature". My tea
