Unless you absolutely need the job, I would consider this a great opportunity to figure out how his boss would react. Getting into a lively technical discussion when you can see how well people can control their egos to find out the best co

Well react itself is just the virtual diff algo really. How to change this page to this other page as fast as possible, if you don’t know or don’t care to know that other page. That second qualifier is really important. As long as you have

I'm slowly moving in that direction. Recently started using (pg-typed)[1] in our projects and its amazing, as it gives you the types from the database into typescript, and not the "general types from tables", but the exact sp

Long time Monodraw user here as well. While I still use it quite often for README.md docs, excalidraw has replaced most of the use cases I had, along with having a much nicer and upbeat feel (something I'm generally after when writing

Right after the iron curtain fell was a weird place to live in in Eastern Europe. I felt like people really wanted to emulate the west, partake in its wealth and successes, on the other hand there was this ingrained sentiment that it was a

Used to pirate a lot as a poor kid in eastern europe, as there was no way I could either afford it, find a legal copy or both. Now as a paid developer I always buy the software / games I use, as its much less of a hustle, and I’d like

Is Anthos an abstraction on top of Kubernetes then? Kind of hard to understand with all the marketing around it. E.g. it runs k8n, alongside other google tech on your hardware? If that is the case maybe its going in the wrong direction from

Not sure about the other clouds, but GCP is just atrocious for this with both of their offerings. App Engine, seems to be no longer developed, and is considered “old” technology, it works, but its hard to do more enterprisy stuff, like virt

We’ve been using pg-typed to give us almost the exact thing you are talking about. While it does have its limitations, its vastly better than raw sql queries. https://pgtyped.vercel.app/

Recently I went on a deep dive to test for myself if it’s even possible to write a modern looking web application with no build tools or dependencies, and turns out its very doable - https://github.com/ivank/vanilla-teu

I’ve recently had the privilege of watching “12 angry men” for the first time. It’s a masterpiece in showing how a legal “sure thing” can be so wrong. Legal cases are often constructed with testimony, unreliable evidence, and chance. Its an

What I think I’ll take from this is how a lot of organizational policies have simple human emotional reasons behind them. Reading the official company stances, they all look like reasonable, well meaning changes. But then 1/3 of your o

Having your own time to try out whatever you like is immensely helpful for a developer, thats why at the companies I work for I campaign (successfully for now) to have “learning days”. You do whatever coding / learning you want, but yo

> Changing the name of a field of a struct can change behavior in another file that never mentions the field by name. I don’t code in go so this looked surprising to me. TypeScript has a similar feature regarding types, and it will tell

I know prism adds soo much more than just data access for your project, but for just replacing ORMs I think I really prefer the approach of https://github.com/adelsz/pgtyped where you have raw sql files / template

This is what I also think Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, author of The Little Prince was after. “If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up your men to collect wood and give orders and distribute the work,” he said. “Instead, teach them to yearn

I was climbing up the ranks as a dev of a web agency. The owner just got into the startup scene abroad and wanted to be part of it. So he spun up a separate company, and I ended up as a lead dev there. And as the senior dev I ended up with

So true. The thing that put me on the path of discovering parsers was a tweet that said something to the effect of “if you want any relatively complex regex, what you actually need is a recursive descent parser”. Now as a self thought dev I

¿Porque no los dos? QA teams and devs write totally different tests. Devs go about it to help future refactoring, e.g. codify what the feature is supposed to do, so that if we change it in the future, we will not inadvertently break somethi

You have to be incredibly lucky, or very experienced in this to ever get an interview coding exercise you look good in. Its incredibly stressful and usually gives the company a very weak signal of what you will they get as a dev. There is s

I think I’ve read somewhere about this being an old Chinese tradition. They would pay doctors for the amount pf people he is looking after, and he has the incentive to keep his “flock” healthy as that would mean much less work for him.

While I also think url based imports are a weird idea, it might just stem from the fact that I haven’t used it much, it might be wonderful, who knows. But what I’d like to question is why the idea of parsing everything is considered bad. Se

If your concern is mainly security, you can try yarn 2 (berry)’s “zero install” feature. That vendors yours dependencies, so the whole project can then be started without yarn itself, but avoids the gigabytes and millions of files problem o
