Hmmm, being Dutch living in Berlin I have to frown at this. In the busier areas around Mitte and Kreuzberg I regularly have to swerve around cars that seemingly are oblivious of cyclists. But I’m probably spoiled due to being used to the Du

Good thing HN doesn’t have memes, otherwise I would post one of those bears confessing “I’m a software engineer with 19 years of experience and I still don’t really understand git”. Silliness aside, I guess Git suffers from the trait that i

Objection.js and the Knex query builder are excellent. Think ORM light with full access to SQL.

Because AWS is already deeply embedded in the games industry. Where do you think all of those multiplayer servers run for big AAA titles? This is probably just a move up the vertical for them.

You should. It’s very nice there during summer and there are a ton of pretty cool and informative info panels on the history of Tempelhof and the airlift. Bring a grill and a kite!

In a similar vein, startups are somehow obsessed with reporting on their "startup-dom": - That they were in pitch event X - That they were featured in startup mag Y - That they're attending startup fair Z All inwards focussi

This sounds nice, but is very far away from actual reality. Sadly, almost 25%-30% of applicants, in my experience, don't even read the full job description or ignore key parts that are listed in bold text, some examples based on actual

Dang, I missed that one in the daily deluge of AWS product announcements. The Mailchimp HTML5 editor is REALLY nice though. Probably the reason everyone uses them. Side story: At the former job, we used to create transactional emails with a
