The code of ansi-red for those interested: var wrap = require('ansi-wrap'); module.exports = function red(message) { return wrap(31, 39, message); }; And ansi-wrap: module.exports = function(a,

Patreon and Github Sponsorships are popular ones. But also being able to add to their Resumé, being popular and leveraging it for other activities like talks and interviews, etc.

It is perfectly normal to see "N packages on NPM with N downloads" in resumés, and often a good sign. ...but interviewers often assume that they are all useful packages and that the numbers are not inflated.

`is-odd` is made by the same developer. This was created to inflate NPM numbers.

This is a very well known trick that we don't talk about much in public, but this is how most people with hundreds of repos on NPM get to this number. One very popular terminal progress bar spinner has over 30 dependencies. One with th

I've seen several complex businesses with incredibly complex processes and systems that were entirely based on relational databases, and changes were always fast in the database side . The database itself is agile and it is easy to mo

I'd rather that poor people have an option. There's nothing wrong with Behringer. Also, free software is nowhere near as good as dedicated hardware or as paid software, IMO .

I really don't think anyone in our industry is holding regular Facebook employees responsible for any issues with Facebook. People who worked there are still regarded as very competent.

Strange, I've shown the CovPass app in the past when either a test or vaccination were required, for eating inside, for example. But I think rules change from city to city. I don't think it's needed anymore, anyways.

I've also seen it happen more than often than I wish, but the issue in this case is more about skipping a common data access layer rather than usage of a shared data store. This would have been a problem in any system: even in a mono

For most CI/host combinations this requires an ad-hoc solution involving calling APIs that's hardly trivial, both for triggering the CI and blocking the PR. We didn't want to change our perfectly fine solution. Thus, the mono

The youngest framework of your list is 8 years old already. Svelte itself is gonna be 5 years old in a couple weeks, and there's absolutely no need to pick it up right now. The meme that there are new frontends daily is extremely tired

It is false. Companies that adopt a certain framework tend to stick with it, and it's verifiable from seeing job offers.

It is wrong because it has slowed down to a crawl compared to what we had from 2010-2014. Most companies have settled on either React or Vue, which are extremely similar. Angular is used in some niches, almost always because teams already k

Correct. We measured how long it took to integrate changes in the core libraries into the consumers (multiple PRs) versus doing it on a monorepo (single PR for change). We ran them together for a couple weeks and the difference was big. The

When I hit the limits of git then I will worry about it. One of our tasks when building the monorepo was proving it was possible to split it again. It was trivial and we have tools to help us avoid complexity. We’re not using Github so that

That's completely false. Monorepos don't really create issues at all when done properly, and when used in situations where they make sense. In smaller scales, for example, they're fantastic for productivity, and my company is

There is already a very simple solution to solve being "on call": pay the damn person for the hours they need to be ready to answer the phone. That's how Doctors and Firefighters (and developers!) do in places I lived. If I n
