He used to, but is now stepping into politics, in a conservative / reactionary way. See: https://world.hey.com/dhh/as-i-remember-london-e7d38e64

In the UK there’s a lot of screens on pedestrian walkways, and small adverts on roundabouts but very few motorway (highway) adverts. On the motorway there’s signs for services (rest stops) with all the major brands logos on, and maybe one o

This is a reason I’m very keen on making sure tests are focused on requirements rather than code. A few jobs ago I would often be in a team where the entire team had turned over several times, we would be asked to do large updates to a lega

They're ignoring start up successes within Europe. I suspect most complaining about this use Spotify - started in Sweden. Revolut is also very popular for people after a crypto-friendly bank. Monzo is credited with revolutionising bank

Are the testimonials real? They’re all either freelancers or have very vague company names (Tech Innovations Inc, Dynamic Web Solutions) and the project looks brand new.

Yeah this is all a thing in the UK where there’s a lot of highly variable Solar & Wind electricity generation, see https://octopus.energy/smart/intelligent-octopus-go/ Disclaimer: I work for Octopus Energy Gro

I started my career working on gambling apps, and it’s one of my red lines now when looking for work. It’s an evil industry - full of dark patterns. I remember implementing a “cancel withdrawal” feature where essentially: the casino could d

Pretty standard for most cloud services, especially as you get more "cloud-native." If you adopt DynamoDB as your DB of choice - you'll struggle to get off AWS should the need arise, without rewriting parts of your app. But i

It looks pretty clear cut to me - and just because MS is massive doesn't mean that someone somewhere hasn't seen this as an opportunity to improve their personal / department KPIs. I'm not familiar with hardware business

Eh, in my current role (engineer) we have a PM but they’re not all that useful. In theory, they do what you describe, but because they don’t have a technical background they struggle to identify blockers & engineers drive most prioritis

Spitballing here but perhaps it's because people don't realise the DevOps work that can be done in a team, rather than just what has to be done. I work in a cultural DevOps place at the moment, and often spend my time improving CI

ThePrimeagen did some benchmarks on stream recently - he found Bun to be slightly better in terms of average response time, but the biggest gain was P99 / P99.9 values under heavy load. NodeJS seems to drop the ball on a handful of req

The article says a few passengers continue on to the final destination, so they’re not saving much in terms of crew / logistics. Maybe it’s an attempt to avoid drawing too much attention from the regulator? If they started offering int

Yeah, new leases were rising 11% as of January - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-65103937.amp . I can’t find a more recent source, newer data looks at the overall market rather than new leases, and that’s at 4.9% as

This doesn’t surprise me. A user has a need - in this case a food diet app. They find this app, think it looks good, and registers their interest. Good. Launch day comes around, they’re nowhere to be seen - why? Well, they may have found an

I’m not the person you’re replying to but I’d say so. Under $5/month you pay nothing at the moment. https://fly.io/docs/about/pricing/ You need to look at the following for pricing: - Compute - Volumes (

My team use GIVEN X AND Y SHOULD Z It works nicely with Jest as you can nest test suites indefinitely, so each GIVEN statement goes in a nested describe block, but it is verbose.

Yeah I agree. If you can merge things into a central branch quickly, it’s much better. In my experience with this sort of process you spend quite a lot of time managing your different branches, especially once you start getting feedback and

5G masts cover a significantly smaller area than 4G, so you need a lot more to provide the same coverage.

I agree with this. In my experience often people want to push the problem to someone else - if you can say in your team status update "I've opened a ticket with X, waiting on them to solve the issue", you can get away with be
