"Markup for diagram" is great so long as others have a way to edit the markup when you use the diagram in your document. Blockdiag/Seqdiag has a pretty good RST integration for Sphinx. Lately I've been using the ZenUML d

I'm not sure if it's a 10x improvement, but formatters and linters have definitely cut my time writing code by 50% in stupid bugs and time wasted moving parenthesis. And enforcing those formatters and linters cuts the time I spend

My favorite example of this was when I worked on a B2B product with a daily email report. We noticed the most common usage of this email report came from native iOS email clients first thing in the morning. As a test, my team all went home

That's totally contrary to my experience where Data Engineers are considered specialized SWE and paid more. But I've never worked for FB.

Check out lunchmoney.app! I've been using it for the past year. It's clean, snappy, easy to use, and has VERY powerful categorization for anyone with a programmers mindset. I used mint but it was too much work to keep the categori

I'm also crushed. Simple has been my only checking account since 2011. I think I learned about them on HN. The UI is snappy and slick and their support team have always gone above and beyond. They're really the model for what a ch

As someone who worked on a system that did fingerprinting as an alternative to cookies for non-nefarious reasons, I can tell you the best way to not be fingerprinted is to just use Safari on the newest iPhone. Not because iPhones or Safari

I find that it takes device into account very interesting. What does me using an iPhone XS vs a Samsung Note vs a generic cheap Android phone say about me? I wonder if ends up being a proxy for income, age, or gender...

I live New York. 5/7 years I’ve been here I haven’t had a wash. In my experience, an apartment with in-unit goes for 10% more than one without. My rent is 1850/mo and my local friendly laundromat does wash-and-fold for $0.90/
