Structural engineer can refuse to sign off a design that is not 100% fail proof. If he will be pressured into approving such design, he will ask the pressurer to put his own signature and bear the risk. Now try to pushback on your managers

Hey, op here. The premise of the post was a response to the ridiculous claim that when something goes bad, we need to blame the engineer(s) who pressed the button. I tried, through rant, demonstrate that there are other people to blame, sta

My point was, why a display at a check in counter needs to run EDR software to begin with? Why can't it run a locked down, slimmed version of Windows in an isolated network that has very low potential to get malware on it? I know why,

Hey, OP here. This blew up a little. Thanks everyone for replying. Don't want to repeat myself in replying to everyone individually, so I'll add a comment. Many people suggest keeping them separate for the sake of lower signal:noi

Hey Xena! Funny things, I actually checked your blog before posting this question, to see how other people do it. I'm not a frequent reader of your blog, but I was under the impression that yours is mostly consistent in terms of conten

Sure, I don't deny the importance of hard work. But then again, how many people worked hard, the same hard as you or maybe even harder, and it took them 20 years to get to 1M? 30 years? How many never made it despite working hard? I fe

As someone who is actively pursuing entrepreneurship for the past year, while doing it on-off pretty much from the beginning of my career (about 15 years), as well as following other solopreneurs/indie-hackers on social network--I move

Yeah, I get what you are saying. But I guess I'm living in "survival" mindset, and realize that at any moment I might have to move, meaning I'll be able to take only important things with me. A NAS is usually not importa

Thank you a lot! Your demo looks amazing. I wouldn’t tell it’s QT.

by skwee357 3y ago
Right. Forgot to mention Slint. Slint is amazing, but it’s still young. For example there are no plotting libraries. It lacks components like autocomplete input, date picker, input mask. Styling and themes also lack.

I honestly don’t care about papers that much. There are professions that can cause harm without proper education, but most of software engineering is not like this. And to say the truth, it’s all just part of the game. 12 years ago I called

It's not only about being organized, but it's also about the fact that in software engineering, seniority is not valued. If you need a plumber, or a dentist, or a car mechanic--you would select the one who has been in the professi
