You can be yourself, be human, be flexible, and not make sexual advances toward those you have power over. In fact, if you can't do both, it's you who cannot survive in today's world. It's time for us to all get better a

After. Like, it was literally a pay-for-code thing. Soon as he confirmed they worked, he sent me a check in the mail.

I sorta did something like this. A friend of mine[1] pushed and pushed and pushed me to learn Python, and at one point even paid me a small amount to make two plugins for Anki(a flashcard dekstop app), which was really difficult, but are st

On the one hand, this is super cool and I know some people/fields this would be great. On the other, I worry that without knowing exactly who and how these are getting sent out, that I'll seriously consider one of these companies

I didn't go to one, but I'm entirely self-taught. I'd seriously advocate for you to open your mind a bit. I once had a boss that had a very similar attitude to what you're talking about here, and I left the position pret

This has been my experience. Frankly, coding made it easier to understand the math, and absolutely none of it was complicated when I did finally get to it.

"People just need to have patience" for how many generations? Standard Oil was a monopoly for over 20 years. There are countless monopolies that have gone on that long or longer, only to be broken up by government eventually. I lo

From what I'm reading, this sounds quite a bit like Heroku-style functionality for AWS. Git push is your entire process to deploying a new build, without needing to set up a deployment pipeline, while having the usual escape hatches fo

Title is misleading. The deletion of the production database was last week. Today, it's down in a single region because of multiple redundant power sources failed.

I've been using Jest for around 6 or so months, first because of Snapshot testing, and second because of create-react-app coming with it by default. But an old friend who is a lot better at JS than I, still uses and loves Ava. I was wo

Performance and stability wise, not quite as well. However, the ability for quick, easy, and familiar customization and automation for web developers is hard to deny either.

Honestly, that's way too simplistic a point of view. The biggest reason large companies that move slow continue to succeed in their original business, is because their original processes and flow are from when they were growing, while

Yes. This makes it part of code reviews and is what keeps everyone who might ever use the project(whether human or CI) using the same libraries.

That's when you've chosen too big a problem. Make it smaller. Find a piece you CAN solve. Then as you gain skill and power, expand. This works in every field.

This story hasn't convinced me that China's startup scene is anything to pay attention to, outside of China. Nearly every single one of their major successes, are successes in China, and only China. Those successes, as great as

It's a matter of encouraging health in a community. A lack of proper resources(which can be everything from documentation, tutorials, guides, libraries, to tools like Ember-CLI) can lead to mistakes in design and part of your community

It's also worth pointing out, the newest Ecto(released this week) has features that can do multiple database calls at once, since each one is put into its own connection pool and then assembled at the end. So even rather heavy calls ge

In the year or so I've been working with Elixir, I've not had to learn a lick of Erlang besides a couple of function calls I can get at directly from Elixir. Nor have I heard of anyone else having that issue. It's one of the

It's been awhile since I've used Django, but I work with those who use it frequently. Django certainly shouldn't be put out to pasture- but you'd be surprised just how robust and production-ready Phoenix is. Of course, n

Very true, but what I particularly like is the raw speed- having a JSON API with an average response time in microseconds(ie, sub-millisecond) is super cool and goes a long way in transforming a web app into that native-app feel. To be able

That's fair, and a totally valid way of going about it. But if I'd been devving for a few years and hadn't heard the term "linked list", and the interviewer scoffed at having to answer the question of what it was, I

The N+1 issue is one that everyone ends up learning and understanding on the job fairly quickly. It doesn't require anything abstract to understand- "You're constantly hitting it over and over instead of doing things in one o

That's what I came up with in my head, but my issue is, in an interview I'd not be confident with that kind of an answer. I've never done that before, I've never had a reason to do that before. I've contributed to R
