- Hook yourself into online communities - Take a college course, PRIMARILY if you need to be pressured to finish your work (i.e. pass/fail). Otherwise, it might feel like a waste if you can understand the concepts through your own lear

This is a muscle that you have to practice developing - it'll hurt at first. Small things you can start off with: - Use less emoji's when interacting via SMS or Slack with your colleagues. Indicate a little less sentiment. - Learn

Is there anyone that you can bring up the ranks to make your omission less detrimental? Slowly integrate them into meetings, company decisions; make sure it's someone you trust. And slowly step back. Just an off-cuff thought.

Haha, brilliant point. Fortunately, it's probably a lot of VC money instead of individuals, or publicly traded companies; at least one would think.

Being 100% responsible for any failures (bugs in the code, missed promises and deadlines, etc), and having no padding between you and the client. Overcome this by being painfully detail orientated. And never sub-contract, except to _extreme

Is there a reason why someone would throw away unit tests? I've never understood this. Time was taken to write it, test it, upheave the bug, and now we want to remove the safeguards that we spent time/money on? Leaving the possibi

One of the best uses for Unit Tests and Integration Tests, in my experience, is for testing things that would be incredibly difficult to test through QA, or the UI.

Because if someone gets confused and doesn't/can't make the purchase due to this misunderstanding, this is lost revenue, for no other reason than assuming that a user knows what CVV means.

The most effective evangelists are those who have actually used the tools they're speaking of. And I mean more than for "hello word". Let me say this: I went to a meetup several months ago for an Angular event. The speaker wa

I love bagging my own groceries the way I like, and avoiding interaction with a potentially disgruntled and inattentive cashier. I love self-checkouts.

"No thank you...My salary is private." Only on HN, would the same crowd that ferociously defends data privacy, decide to play devil's advocate on this comment. (Regarding the thread under the parent post)

This is a foolish and idealistic stance. Especially with all the factors to consider (neighbors, location, salary, relativity to peers, etc.)

You're right about nexus, but I sell a non-tangible SaaS product (no hard-ware, no CD download, etc). It's a grey area, but I think I'm okay. I'll verify at some point soon. It's still a side-thing w/ little to

This is a great question. Fortunately my LLC for my startup is based in a state that doesn't mandate charging sales tax for SaaS products. That being said, I do not go out my way to apply sales tax to those ordering in a state that doe

One word: Sub-contract. Network with small to mid-size consulting companies. If they can trust you, it's a win-win. You 1099 with them, they make $20-$30+/hr off the top of your rate w/ no burdens of having you as an employee

I was going to use GCP, but ended up using AWS after discovering GCP doesn't [currently] support MSSQL as a service. Couldn't be happier with AWS.

Well first off, use the term "consultant", and you'll see a 50% increase in revenue.

You seem to be getting down-voted, maybe by the feminine comment, but you're right; it's clear that their marketing is towards women ( https://www.spectacles.com/ ), and they're missing a huge market. (Why not

Authentication. i.e. Have you successfully implemented a good OAuth[2] security system? Can you explain the difference between JWTs, and session auth? Why choose one over the other. Talk to me about SSL a little bit, even at a high-level. H

Humorous, but true. For fellow developers that insist on using Bootstrap, I've been telling them to use the stable 3.* version.
