The full story is actually a lot worse but yah it is pretty dumb.

If this is true or not, I had a situation in my past where I was developing an ecommerce API as a business that had both web and backend. Basically, it made integrations take a day instead of 3-4 months. I hired some offshore developers to

I've seen activity on this topic recently on HN so I would imagine this will be a thing on job postings in the near future as went "unlimited PTO".

This is dead on accurate. You cannot control upwards, well said. You have to work with good people in the first place. This is not a fashion industry parody where you are supposed to be insulted to be tolerated. This is development and you

This feels toxic. Immediately start looking for another job in the related field. Don't wait. Have something lined up. When smells start... they don't go away. Time to be proactive instead of reactive. If this keeps happening, it

I liked that. It might be ever weirder though for us in the new age. We'll have robots (AI) running everything and why things are happening will degrade into unknown unknowns. Engineering and critical thinking may be a lost art.

This suggests to me if you don't get at least a 6.8% raise as an employee per year, you should start looking for another job. That isn't really a raise mind you. It should be added to whatever % raise they give you IMO.

This may seem unrelated but I think a lot of our abilities are unconscious and we tend to see things in hindsight to explain why we behaved as we did, trying to rationalize things and believing in our explanations even if they make no sense

true but isn't that the case in typed languages?

I used this pattern more often than not before typescript but now it is harder to argue that point in typescript, although I do prefer it still. Swift is readable in that it has named parameters that can be in any order similar to a javascr

I don't feel these labels matter. If you are amazing at execution of important or hard problems, this should be the bar. Elon Musk talks about how he interviews people. He asks them about the challenging problems they've solved an

idk I think you have to think differently. It's a game that you play. No one cares about your problems or quirks on an interview. Think of what they want to make a decision and be that...respectful, courteous, helpful, excited...then s

They were able to move here and there quite quickly, adjusted trajectory in the most efficient way possible. They commonly gather together in large groups. They are...dried up leaves blowing in the wind. Now if you think dried up leaves are

From a laymen perspective, I see David Sinclair as the clear leader in this field with actual lab results to back it up. https://sinclair.hms.harvard.edu/research I only remember Aubrey de Grey talking and presenting a lot

In my experience of HN and StackOverflow, at first, I did not like people downvoting my naive or thoughtless comments. Throughout the years, my reputation on StackOverflow grew and a little bit on HN since the bar is so much higher seems...

I wonder then if "vegetarian" will be expanded to include lab grown meat or possibly a newer "labatarian"? "I like green eggs and ham." has a new meaning now.

the paint realism is amazingly realistic and fantastic...it really blends together with texture, love this, favorite of all time for browser.

This is a great idea but just so developers know, you can do some great stuff with google sheets, I made one with google sheets and the built-in request object via google sheet scripting to do REST requests for data and found that to be sup

Is it bad to point out the obvious? The way people process and vet information seems to be fundamentally in opposition and tied to their political party, reinforced by machine learning silos, diametrically opposed tv networks and further fu

This is the first time I've seen a dev-made musical intro video for a game platform and it was great!

Probably at GPT6 because I would have to be convinced I was real with all the simulation qualia on top of that. Pretty convincing so far.

That makes sense. "MVP" use cases make perfect sense. But I suppose you could also make dynamic python that another app created just like HTML is the target response for many web apps. New possibilities. I will check this out more

Right, good points. This does remind me of how Flutter dev experience is just by yourself except this is published as a product. It's slick cool and at the edge of what's possible.

Out of curiosity I saw what this product was about. It appears to be like a chatroom in the sense that its live but with an API or live application refresh where the programmer can write lines of code that immediately show app results. This

My knee-jerk reaction was to skip directly to comments. It seems correct.

I think this is mostly due to the immediate messaging they give on the topic that is sufficient and no further click is needed. Meaning the little drop down suggestions more often than not for me has the full content I want. For example, &q

idk i think its good to be like wtf but then have enough people that use it to get you wondering more... then eventually winning you over. You only know in hindsight if it was worth it to you but then we like to justify that it was before w

The pain of TS is when you come upon it as a noob after someone else very advanced at it created it. It seems overwhelmingly annoying and seemingly unnecessary. As you use it though and it becomes easier, you start to notice an overall net
