I don't think I'd recommend the learning environment I had 30+ years ago - there's just so much more information these days catering to all kinds of learners (whether you learn by reading, by watching, by doing). I was growin

Ten years ago I stepped away from the Microsoft ecosystem, in large part due to said ecosystem drifting away from industry best practices at the time, and also a conservative development culture formed around this ecosystem that did not wan

This happened on the last 4-5 flights for me, at least. If flying with family, can be a nice "optimization" to pack into carry-ons and check them all in for free, when offered (sometimes when checking into the flight, sometimes at

First off, this is a rough time to be applying for jobs - recruiters and hiring managers are inundated with applications. It's a game of numbers these days, so half a dozen applications is just not a meaningful amount when every postin

While I agree with you on principle, Google has earned just that reputation and I would never use Google Cloud for anything critical.

I fully agree with your last paragraph, but not sure what it has to do with cloud infrastructure specifically. AWS also leverages huge economies of scale into profit, it's not like you're going to realize equivalent margins by run

Speculation. It's all speculation.

A dozen applications is not very much. Anecdotally, I've heard from a few folks that the funnel these days looks something like this: 100 applications -> 10 interviews -> 1 offer. Doesn't mean that you should be shotgunning

I'm so old I first accessed World Wide Web through email :) Back in '96 I was browsing a computer magazine and happened upon a listing of useful mailing lists, one of which returned the contents of web pages for a requested HTTP a

It takes me, on mobile, to a picture of what looks to be the real-world "U Kalicha" establishment.

It occurs to me that over time, reading comprehension will become significantly more important than the ability to write. Anyone will be able to write something smart-sounding with AI's help, but it'll take real skill to make sure

Not particularly. Reading through https://www.reddit.com/r/cscareerquestions/comments/1bd12gc/... , this looks like good old-fashioned vaporware.

The genie is out of the bottle, you can't just undo the last year of progress and knowledge. Even if the US took this drastic step, there will be other countries that will push forward. Or private interests. Or well-funded terrorist or

Clouflare workers are a perfect use case for Node.js SSR apps - ultra fast, zero cold start, and pretty much free. I'm using it for an SSR app that's hitting a backend API hosted in AWS (.NET so not Cloudflare compatible) and it&#

This is neat, but it bugs me that it generates email addresses with real providers (Gmail, Outlook, etc). This can lead to accidental emails to real people during testing. I would recommend using @example.com for all emails.

Not quite. Slack's roots are in a video game called Glitch. The game never made it out of the gate, but its messaging system found new life as Slack. Fun fact - this was Stewart Butterfield's second attempt at making a game. The f

Start with a most basic model - 1-2 tables ideally. Build a basic backend to handle this data. Now build a basic frontend to display it. You now have version 0.0000..1 of your project! Now start adding complexity one bit at a time. Avoid t

Not only is it a very tough time to be looking for a job, junior positions are particularly difficult (this is generally the case when hiring slows down and companies can buy more experience for less). Doesn't mean you shouldn't l

This is just your experience/maturity growing over time. Software development goes through cycles of hype, and it's all too easy to get swallowed by all the excitement. Over time you start realizing that there are no silver bullet

I remember all of these fondly. Though IMO the real hacks came with trying to get IE6 to comply when the rest of the world moved on. Basic things, like getting transparent PNGs to be, you know, transparent... img { filter: progid:DX

The big VCs typically will expect extreme growth, because the big wins are needed to make up for the losses they will incur on many of the their other portfolio companies. That said, there are smaller VCs and private equity firms who will b

The business risk is that another company with more money and therefore resources will see your PMF and will move faster to capture the market.

Great take. My project's tech stack is React on the frontend (without Next) and C# on the backend. For me this strikes the right balance of simplicity, performance, productivity and longevity.

Just a PSA that 3 Body Problem is coming in March as a Netflix series. I was pleasantly surprised to see a trailer come out recently.
