I can't help but wonder if things would be different if Sam Altman wasn't allowed to come back to OpenAI. Instead, the safeguards are gone, challengers have left the company, and the bottom line is now the new priority. All in opp

I was excited about this title until I read it's just another thing on top of Kubernetes. To me, Kubernetes is part of the problem. Can we reduce the complexity that Kubernetes brings and still have nice things?

Answering my question (partially). Found a great Mac-only app called "Velja" which does exactly what I wanted. It allows you to define rules based on URL patterns and "routes" to the appropriate browser window. Now I jus

No doubt it's rough and has been for a while. I left my cushy corporate software engineering gig last summer and had the intention of getting another job in the fall. That turned into getting hired in January, then laid off six weeks l

Very relatable. Most of the times I got burned out was because I got "stuck" in the same project or company for too long. It's easy to become complacent especially if you're at a larger company and earning good money. So

A few things: First, the technology choices are secondary to the organization that is charged with maintaining it. If the organization goes out of business and the software doesn't get picked up then it's lost. The exception to th

Super excited for this project. Especially since it's available for Linux now. I still use the JetBrains products as daily drivers but always keen to use new tools like this.

Love the name. For those that are curious: It's the Japanese word for sunlight, which is filtered through the leaves of the trees. In particular, it means the visible light rays. “Komorebi” is composed of several parts of the word: “Ko

Thanks for sharing. I especially liked the leaving tasks 90% done. This is motivation for someone who has 1000 unfinished side projects to finish one tomorrow :)

I agree with the sentiment that the algorithms and data structure coding interview practices are a terrible measure of a software engineer candidate. There's so many other factors that make a good software engineer and to dismiss a can

Julia Evans has some good zines as a starting point and does a great job of distilling complexity and making topics like this approachable to newcomers. [1] I'd also recommend "Network Basics for Hackers" by OccupytheWeb [2]

Logging into another machine just to get a long command resonated with me and is enough that I've decided to give it a try. That, and I'm a sucker for tools written in Rust :)

I'm not associated with System76 but if you currently use Ubuntu as your desktop check out Pop OS. It does a great job of smoothing some of the rough edges and has great support for Nvidia cards. After years of using Ubuntu exclusively
