It seems they value developer productivity and innovation over machine performance. I find this enlightening.

I have been doing this for years. I find it helpful when going to refactor a part of the app that has problems. I then go look in the code and see TODO comments I added a while ago. Then I am 100% sure I really should fix that up. Yes they

Can you say more about how you set it up? This sounds like a balanced solution: you avoid the long time sucks but can still look up needed info.

Thanks. Basically they do a db change inbetween rollouts with no feature yet. Clever.

What are the best practices redarding rollbacks when the database is affected. I would think a large amount of overhead would be required.

That is a good idea: to do it in Slack even if no one is there. Forces you to slow down and be conscious of what you are doing.

When debugging in production environments (which is always a bad idea) I use a technique where I always work together with a coworker and before I'm about to do something destructive I say out loud what I'm going to do and ask for

Great idea. I often remember to practice simple driving mindfulness when i drive my car to work. Other than that I just need to find the discipline to go to bed early and wake up early to practice.

I think attention alone is enough. Pure attention leads to 'magic'.

I have attended many long meditation retreats and can say they transformed me into a better person each time. They helped me especially to be kinder to myself and accept myself as I am. But after getting married, having kids, and founding a

I resonate with this. Meditation even though it takes time actually makes you more efficient at work because you don't get distracted as easily. Running a company or programming is mainly mental work and meditation, especially lots of

It's hard to gather from this post what exactly happened. Does anyone have details?

She has a fantastic writing style. Very engaging and informative. It was great to get an inside look at the YC experience. I especially like how vision driven she is!

At our company we focus on intrinsic rewards rather than extrinsic rewards. We want people to feel good about the work they do, giving them the space and time to write quality code. We don't track any metrics such as commits or loc, he

I guess I was hoping the battery would last longer than my 5 year old battery in my older MBP. I was kind of shocked when it didn't.

Precisely this. If the 2016 MacBook Pro I bought had been a tad thicker I would not have noticed. But I returned because of the dismal battery life under moderate load. Much worse than the previous generation. Did they even test this machin

I had the same experience. I bought a 2016 MacBook Pro and with my usual work load of a VM, IDE and browser with 20+ tabs open battery life was worse than my 2011 MBP with its original battery. So I returned it. First apple return in 23 yea

We are using ghostinspector mainly for it ability to compare screenshots between runs. I think the future of testing will be apps like this that don't require you to specify every little div but just record your actions and play them b

Ironically 15 minutes before reading this post I boxed up my 15 inch Macbook Pro and shipped it back via UPS. Similar to the OP it was the battery life that did it for me. My older 2011 17" MBP has equal battery life with it's or

This is so funny. I just boxed mine up and shipped it via UPS back to apple not 5 minutes ago and was thinking to post something here on hacker news! I did not like the touch bar for programming. Maybe when my ide supports the touch bar it

Dean Radin has published a lot on this topic. He has an interesting list of selected publications 1. A number of meta analysis are listed there. His book "The Conscious Universe" discusses many of the meta analysis in detail. Faci

Whenever solving a problem entails deleting a whole bunch of code and just writing a few clear lines - I love it. I think 'how wonderful! Look at all that code we are deleting!' I think is is line with what the author is getting a

Maybe, maybe not, but it was so fun to watch and listen to Sanders - what a character. Hillary often feels scripted, forced and on message.

In retrospective Nate was right. I wonder if Clinton supporters saw the 98% chance of winning on the Huff Post site and decided voting was not even necessary?
