Having to use a Windows laptop for work is the main reason I rejected working for Microsoft. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great OS, but not for me and I just couldn’t bring myself to using it. I get their logic to have engineers use this, but

Well, good part is that I get to choose what I like and stick to those. I’m a big fan of Vim, Tmux, Vifm, Lazygit and look forward to what the future holds.

I love TUI and CLI based tools that keep me in my terminal as I have started to dread web applications more and more with every passing day. For obvious reasons, these tools have a better and more consistent UX since they need to rely on ke

A personal favorite that I have read recently is Web Scalability for Startup Engineers: https://tinyurl.com/5x82psn8 . Such a gem of a book for anyone who wants to get into the design of scalable systems. It is easy to follo

I don’t think it was ugly. It was the most consistent UI Windows has ever had and nothing comes close.

Not sure I agree with your experience at AWS. For me, my teammates have been super critical, always trying to raise the bar and looking for ways to make things better. So, all I’ll say is that it is very team specific and you can find good

Has React become too big for people to not consider other alternatives? I used to be a big React advocate but realised that it is getting too bloated with every new release. Have been looking into Svelte and it is turning out to be a breath

You still need to have the reference point saved somewhere right? I am not sure if starting from scratch every time is the right way.

I wish I didn’t say this but I just hate using React now. What was once simple is becoming more and more complex and I wish I had just stuck to a more batteries included framework like Angular/Vue/Svelte but the time has passed no

I have already started having trouble understanding open source code using generics. I can see the upsides of having generics, but have lost the enthusiasm with which I used to browse Go code. I am still a junior engineer, so maybe it will
