I can’t downvote. I’m also being downvoted and definitely don’t think people’s goals are to ‘rewrite history’ here. But also the list you mentioned is just that. A list. Behind every bullet point there’s a grimmer meaning, if a meaning at a

I think the Rails resource generators still default to creating Coffeescript files. I could be wrong though — I switch between Rails 4,5 and 6 projects right now. I’ve been on over a dozen Rails projects at different companies and only ever

The Nazis were socialist only in name. I highly suggest reading at least the first book in Richard J. Evans’s trilogy on ‘The third Reich’ if you want your eyes opened to unbiased historical facts. Referring to names to determine the leanin

I don’t think the OP was specifically calling out any game devs. Any engineer who has worked on any software projects knows that you usually can only do as well as your deadlines and managements priorities allow for.. Unless the stars line

I’ve always used Ublock and Pihole with a DNS blocklist set for any Facebook domain, but now I’m wondering if there is anything I might not be catching that this would?

Just recently during the Robinhood hearings there was another Rep that was asking why Robinhood wasn’t moderating Reddit and other big social media sites. Speaking with such conviction that you’d think it was the smartest idea ever, if you

I think this is a bit of a stretch. I’ve been on a few transatlantic flights that had live camera feeds under the plane that you could tune into as a regular station on the tv. I’d wager they’re more common on commercial flights than you th

Interesting how people are so quick to judge whether something is safe by whether someone else driving something less safe (for everyone but themselves of course) were to hit you.

If you’re a new engineer reading this article: Startups are talked about as if work-life balance doesn’t or shouldn’t exist. It only doesn’t exist if you (1) choose for that to be the case or (2) Have a manager like this who holds things li

Yeah, the tech side of the company was pushing to remove the requirement for as long as I was there. But it was pretty much just a blanket requirement for all employees since most worked in medical facilities where that’s normally required.

I worked at a ‘startup’ in the Healthcare sector that drug tested everyone on initial hire. They were spun off from one of the big US hospitals though. I’m not over exaggerating when I say we lost a huge amount of exceptionally qualified ap

When I was just a young (and poor) kid in high school I was looking for ways to make some side money and help my family out over long summer breaks. I learned the IPhone 3G and 3GS were both (1) Super cheap when ‘broken’ on eBay and (2) *ve

Just want to chime in and say your dedicated space doesn’t need to be a room! I’ve gone the entire pandemic in a 450sq ft studio with my wife and our pets. My trick was to put my desk between a window and a wall and get an $80 room divider.

I wouldn’t call Rails ‘easy to get started’. The learning curve is steep, but once you get over it, you can hop into nearly any Rails application and immediately be able to contribute. I prefer Rails for most things work related for that ve

It’s not free, but I really recommend ‘Let’s Go!’ by Alex Edwards. He goes through building a web app and all the code is included, so for someone like me who learns better by tinkering with things, it was super helpful. He also blogs about

The first thing I do at companies I join is dig through common services and tag all resources in a consistent way(ie. app=web-frontend). Then you can create resource groups and breakdown billing at an ‘application level’ through cost explor

I spent a brief amount time working with smart city tech. You might be surprised just how many cameras and sensors already exist that are monitoring you at any moment as you walk down the street. The issue usually isn’t that there’s no evid

I find it amazing that we can be about an hour and a half into a service being completely unusable(ie. Slack telling me it 'cannot connect'), yet it's still marked as an 'incident' instead of an 'outage' i

Isn't this the problem? Companies like Slack set SLA's that they only meet by lying about their uptime. It's as good as having no SLA, except you're likely paying a premium based on the SLA they set.

That seems pretty good to be honest. I’ve seen affordable housing listings in NYC for families of 1-2 with income limits topping out at 160K.

I normally follow that pattern too — but Catalina was unbearably slow in comparison to Big Sur for me. My new 16” MBP with maxed cpu and RAM regularly took nearly 2 minutes to boot to my Home Screen on Catalina with no startup apps. Regular

Well, in the US, one benefit is being able to freely travel to many other countries without needing to go through a months long visa application process.
