Their search is so bad that it has to be intentional. This person isn't finding shit in ten seconds.

Not looking to put a bunch of negative energy out about it, but I know what you mean and you're right.

I think the origin of this idea comes from the time when personal computers started becoming available, and a generation of then young people started tinkering with them. Some of us then went on to do some version of this hobby/passion

You say "The issue here is precisely is about recalling the syntax of a low-level approach, not whether you understand it conceptually" and in a scenario where an interviewer blindsided a candidate with such expectations I would a

I generally don't do front end development professionally. I do know how to manipulate the DOM without frameworks. Learned it over a weekend. If I were interviewing for front end, I wouldn't recall the syntax immediately, but I wo

It seems insane to me that most working front end developers don't know how to manipulate a DOM with javascript. Not saying this is or isn't true, but it seems insane.

The site predates smartphones by maybe five years. Mobile friendly wasn't a thing yet.

Haha, glib examples indeed. I agree with you about remote reverting to a large extent. I have been working 90% remote for a while, but most of my co-workers have not and it is driving them crazy after only a few days. We know that a large s

IMO, if you are fully remote, you might look at it the other way around. The ridiculous salaries are mostly in California and one or two other places. Those places might realize that they can get react devs for a dime a dozen out of bootcam

Agree. There was a Reddit thread a day or two ago asking something along the lines of, "How is this pandemic going to change the future forever?" People had some really wild ideas about how the population at large was going to hav

Not to sound like a jerk, but that sounds a little paranoid to me.

"In the old way of doing things, we treat our servers like pets, for example Bob the mail server. If Bob goes down, it’s all hands on deck. The CEO can’t get his email and it’s the end of the world. In the new way, servers are numbered

Thanks for that info! I had no idea about this.

One of the first things I do on a new Firefox install is add a user-agent switcher and set it up to tell sites I am using chrome for exactly this reason. Somehow we have gone back to the dark ages of web where sites complain unless you are

It's interesting to see how many people take certain things in web design for granted. I'd be interested to know how many readers here were in the neighborhood of 10 or 12 years old in the mid 2000s. We've reached a point whe

Most people don't want to have a desktop at home be the single source of truth for their email anymore, though.

`about:restartrequired` brings you to a screen where you can just hit enter, allowing for a restart without using the mouse. That said, I don't think I use it much more often that I had to use `chrome:restart` when I had to use chrome.

Namesilo has been a great, cheap registrar for me for many years and has always had privacy included for free. I tried several of the lower price registrar's back in the day, and they all sucked in their own way, despite me not needed

Oftentimes, a promotion means some combination of: being in a more visible position; more responsibility; possibly people or more people reporting to you; communicating with higher level people more often. In these cases, it makes sense tha

Star Trek TNG got a lot of my attention in my younger years. Back then I thought the prime directive kind of ideals, do not interfere or harm, seemed unrealistic and like something that we wouldn't be capable of if we found something t

Anecdotal, but myself and two other people I know at two other places work "mostly remote," meaning commute once a week or less. In each case, we started by commuting full time, and added remote days after some months. Also for al

I cut my teeth using Dreamweaver for tripod and geocities sites way back in the last century and have fond memories of it. It was great for templating headers and footers before I discovered PHP, which I have less fond memories of, but that

I know a person who is maintaining a few sites she built in like 2005 with a version of Dreamweaver a little older than that, so never dares to upgrade the Dreamweaver version. The whole thing is terrifying and horrific to me, but they keep

I'm at a fintech in NYC and my team generally doesn't release stuff to prod between like 10AM Friday and 10AM Monday. I haven't had specific conversations with anybody about it, but I think we have all been around the block

I used to have an Evernote account with work notes and home notes, and found it impossible to not sometimes be distracted by the work notes outside of work. Now I keep anything note-like completely separate. Every once in a while I send a s

Counterpoint, I often enjoy conversing with Europeans because it less often sounds like they are bullshitting and more often they just directly say what they mean, compared to fellow American born folks.
