Completely agree with you, hardcore XAML developer and I walked away for React and Tailwind CSS. I will never write another desktop app again.

I’d say that depends. I got sucked into a couple of different “opportunities” that turned out to be clown shows and I had to leave under six months both times. It was pretty hard on my CV, but what are you going to do?

I got you beat (no offense intended). Back in the dotcom boom my company hired a guy who would come in to the office, throw his jacket over a chair and then go to his other full time job. It took them two months to catch on.

Thank you for taking the time to reply, I appreciate it. I also agree with you. What I’m emphasizing is that our government prefers to go after weak targets. Not sure why you are being downvoted, you make a good point.

The sad thing is that our government seems to make a point of screwing with kooks. I don’t care if McAffee owed some taxes - leave the guy alone, he’s obviously unstable, has major problems with drug and alcohol addiction and all they can d

I’m embarrassed to say this on HN, but straight up I thought 9600 baud connections were the shit in the late eighties - who would ever need more bandwidth than this?!? Now I get pissed off when the 4K video on my phone stutters for a second

I’ve always liked foxes. I was an avid coyote hunter for years and used to call foxes in all the time. They’re hilarious because when they come smoking in for the kill and realize it’s a trap they try to act nonchalant and just veer off lik

Yeah, the health care system here is bonkers. It wasn't so bad back around 2008 or so, I had private health insurance for my wife and I, and it was only around $400 or so a month with almost no deductible. Then the government decided t

Ah, it's just one of those things like Vi or Emacs. You can argue for or against it until you turn blue in the face, but the fact is some people love it, other people hate it, and everyone gets their work done just the same. I don&#x27

I'm sorry, but no - a "huge segment the population" does not consist of people with screwy names. The reason for that is that most parents follow cultural / social norms when naming their kids, which reduces friction for

See, that’s exactly my point. If her parents were an “odd bunch” then that’s exactly the sort of thing that an investigator should flag as a no no in terms of national security roles. If there is even the slightest whiff that someone’s an o

I’d like to say I’m being glib here, but doesn’t the fact that the NSA gives someone named Reality Winner a clearance kind of put the blame on them for this one? You hire a flake, you’re gonna have to deal with the fallout.

Sounds dumb but I go camping a lot and still want to access various informational APIs when I’m in limited cell reception areas so I built a bridge that allows me to hook my APIs up to text messaging. I just send a text like “news” and get

This is a fantastic idea. I’ve found that nothing is more annoying than to get through like five minutes of a take when recording a video and then having to redo it because I slipped up. I would love to be able to write a script, be prompte

It’s not irrational for people who aren’t worried about Covid to not worry about it. I didn’t downvote you and I understand your point of view, but you have to take other people’s perspectives into consideration - to me, Covid is a bad flu

I agree - it’s a well reasoned post and I enjoyed reading it.

I kind of miss the old days when I could go through life without ever knowing that some guy in North Carolina got in a fight with his brother-in-law over a borrowed lawnmower. My solution is to stay off social media altogether.

Reminds me of this movie where a girl goes to her high school reunion and claims she invented Post-It Notes. I wish I could remember the name of it.

To be perfectly honest I thought JWTs made a lot of sense until I actually started trying to deploy them in a SAAS side project I was working on. It turned into a comedy of errors and I just decided to go back to cookie based authentication

That’s awesome. I worked for this one startup a long time ago where the CEO would call a company-wide meeting every other month to announce a new achievement award and then promptly award it to his co-founder. You can’t make this kind of sh

Reminds me of the very first time I went to work for a trading firm. We had been having some performance issues with a particular software system, and so I told the CTO “After looking at all this, if you give us a month I’m pretty sure we c
