I'm about 4 years into my career (mostly self-taught and learned-on-the-job), and I actually found Eskil's talk inspiring. The part that hit me hardest (in the good sense) was "don’t implement good-enough APIs." As someo

I don't personally use AI for code completion inside my editor, however I do use ChatGPT like Google nowadays. Whenever I had a question in the early days, I just typed it into Google and scavenged through all the different links it ga

In one of my previous companies, we had a separate project on GitHub (think of it as a Jira epic) where we collected various feedback after every release. Not to say we weren't expecting feedback outside of that time frame, but after e

I _finally_ understand what I need to do with the `height` value in CSS now. I usually understood everything pretty well until the "final boss" part of the article. Everything makes so much more sense now, even the `height: 100%`

Just a random idea, but if you were to hustle in the first few weeks of your job and leave a good impression, wouldn't that translate you to actually being expected to be a quick deliverer? At one point you may simply burn out due to t

Some random advice would be to listen to Mr. Robot's soundtrack found here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1xDNuLHKQHghKR9SmkR9pD?si=... – since the soundtrack is solely made to get people to understand the &qu

Sounds like a cool system, would love to break it! :-D Actually, you talked about that every note doesn't need to be categorized – I think differently, however I think that it should work on a "tags" basis. If I grep a tag, i

I have been using a Macbook Air M1 for the past year for development and here are a few of my tips: 1. Definitely don't go for the 8GB model for whatever you do (except for light web browsing), always go for the 16GB (or if you're

Honestly, knowing how to google things constantly seems like a mystery to people. I often get people saying "how do you know all these things?" and just have to reply "I'm really good at googling."

Love it! It feels like a glorified RSS viewer, but with much more thought put into what people actually want to read and know on the 21st century. I would probably put much more thought and concentration into reading the news if I'd ha

I use Docker Desktop as well and when you don't have to run x64 containers through QEMU, the images work just fine. I have to run containers through QEMU at the moment and while it does indeed have a performance penalty, I honestly got

I agree with this answer – the Dell XPS machines are beasts and you might eventually even find yourself caring for the "fancy things", e.g. a touch screen. To add to this list, I still think that Lenovo makes great and very custom

A very tough question. I feel that it might be quite hard to lure a curious person into Computer Science, who doesn't know anything about the field yet. One of the books I liked (since I actually studied Linguistics in my Bachelor&#x27

Professionally I keep switching between Chrome and Firefox (currently on Chrome) ony my Mac. Firefox has the source-code viewer, some nifty CSS stuff etc, while most of the services I use work better on Chrome. Unprofessionally I have alway

Just my two cents on the topic, but I'm guessing that Instagram was never really mean't to be used on desktop – it was developed mobile-first and just ported to desktop when there was a bigger demand for it.
