I agree on Australian drivers. I’m neutral on Australian urban speed limits, they are similar to parts of the UK. However the standard of driving in the urban speed limits in AU is far poorer, the lower limit the more aggressive the driving

My diet is roughly 40% protein, 35% fat, 25% carbs. It’s extremely high in protein as I’m on a 20% calorie deficit, aiming for at least 1.2g protein per lb lean body weight, 35% fat preferring it to carbs and making up the remaining calorie

Agreed. If I have an issue, I’ll go speak to who I need to when I have an issue. Maybe it’s because I’m introverted, a person of few words and no nonsense but I’ve always found 1:1s to be corporate lip service. I’m in a place I’m happy, my

Fastly is a public traded company. In their annual reports Fastly have previously said C@E was available. They regularly released PR pieces of new functionality on C@E. The reality was it was in private beta and deep in active development.

React in AU is the in demand software job. The market looks to be going crazy for React devs more than anything else. Start looking now before the borders open again and salaries go down. Take a contract, when I was job hunting I was freque

This might be regional specific but I'm seeing Java roles are mostly dealing with legacy 10-15yr projects, so a lot of maintenance type work, kicking tyres, keeping things running, bolting on new features to codebases no one want'

It depends on the language but I find I'm also far more productive with strong types. When I use a dynamic language I get no errors in dev, I need to run/invoke the program to see if it works. It may appear to work fine as I haven

I tried Podman on OSX. It was easy to set up but the deal breaker was no bind mounts. I'm sure that functionality will come but for dev purposes it's not a Docker Desktop replacement on OSX just yet.

If you never need to hit a browser Avro, Thrift, Protobuff etc., are way better and more straightforward options to deal with than JSON. You have a strong schema, not a retrofitted on top JSON schema spec. The schema is enforced as the data
