How? I've heard this argument a lot. How does me knowing how to solve a problem I created myself make me better than me avoiding it altogether? To expand on this: how many engineers you work with know what actually happens in a CPU whe

I disagree with the premise that I need to know what happens behind the doors to successfully use a tool. I've been using git for the past 15 years with literally 0 issues of merging or branching. The only rule I have to follow is &quo

I think it's very hard for anyone to give you advice because there are too many variables, and we also don't know much about your thing. You say you have unique value prop but then you mention "if they launch better versions

While reading through these threads I always get a feeling that everyone's working at YouTube or stuff like that, and they need to serve millions of users per hour. Meanwhile I'm in my corner here with an old-school $20 VPS that d

For testers I found that ISTQB is really valuable. The lack of graduate programs for this field + the fact that's not easy to get make it even more important.

Thanks, I forgot about Toptal. I like what I see there so I'll give it a shot!

Thanks, I just checked Toptal and I really like what I see there. For some reason I associated it with development work only, but it seems like they have a wide range of categories available. I'll give it a try!

Yes, I do have a Tailwind UI license and I'm regularly using it for some projects. However, when I start on a new one, I like having the design in place before I do any coding. It's just simpler when you have a UI mock that you ju

The company you work for doesn't want to use the "technology and ideology" for anything other than own profit. It's why they are a company. If you don't like working for them but you like the tech, find a job in ano

Off topic but I’m really curious, why are these taxes a percentage? What justifies paying $0.1 for every $10 transfer, but $1 for $100? Is it more complicated to move $100 than it is to move $10? In the end it’s still a single transaction,

You're looking for "serverless" apps and yet both your examples run on servers. Or maybe I don't understand what serverless means. It seems to me like you're looking for this list: https://www.opensourcea

Yes, but.. I am a software architect. ~90% of the job offers I get are from CEOs/CTOs who want me to join their small company to help them refactor because they can’t grow anymore. Tech debt kills as well.

As a backend dev, I made myself an expert at Tailwind specifically for this issue. I admit, using Tailwind out of the box simply creates decent interfaces. However, I disagree with the article: I don't think I'm ever going to be a

I just want to point out that the overall sense of superiority in the comments here is somehow funny. I feel like we’re also the “dumb average Joe” for a lot of companies, and most often for way more than $8/mo.

I did work in a startup worth $100M, and it was becoming more and more corporate every day. Might be wrong, but I think a startup worth that much (1B) is way past the point of challenging innovation.

I’m not sure what you mean by consulting, but I can’t see any job ad for something like that. All of them are basically “we need an engineer to build this”, and in the end you show up on the job and it’s not different than the previous one.

I don’t know how Google was in 2005, but in ~2010 I was able to pull a website on #1 with 0 cash spent, just by manipulating PR. That doesn’t seem great to me.

Just cancelled my Google Drive subscriptions last week due to this, and moved to SFTP on rented metal. If you can’t 100% predict what I’m looking for then don’t even bother. Just give me files and folders.
