Does it support vim plugins?

I’m still waiting for a day where I can write Swift and Kotlin with VIM and still be productive. Maybe this will let me do that but after the last few tries I’m not going to get my hopes up.

Writing software remotely works out great with things like version control, ticket managing systems, chat and screen sharing/video conferencing. I wonder what industries struggle to be efficient remote. I know the designers at my curre

I felt the same way until I bought my wife a wireless charger as something she might think was “neat”. I wasn’t even sure if she would use it but at least it would be an option. Once I saw how nice the experience actually was I bought one f

It doesn’t take a lot of traffic to outgrow a poorly implemented mongodb structure with a lot of data. That’s not a fault of mongodb as much as it is using the tool wrong. When I first started using mongodb I treated it like a relational da

That’s a great question. I don’t think there is one perfect answer. However I would suggest that you find someone whom you’ve worked with at some point so you know if you work together well. If you don’t have previous experience working wit

Great tip! This would be good for companies of any size.

Thanks for sharing! I have spent a lot of time as a solo founder and I’ve spent time as a co-founder. I thought it might be helpful to contrast my experiences. As a solo founder I found that the highs were muted and the lows were amplified.

Pretty cool, seeing the battery status is pretty cool. I wouldn't do this but seeing the battery status tempts me to come up with ways to run it down faster just to test it out. Anyone else think the same thought?

I’ve never used API gateway outside of quick prototype tests to access lambda. $750 per month doesn’t sound like a lot of money if you have 225 million requests per month. A free API is probably an exception but I do realize why that would

I am not a fan of the cookie banners at all. If anything I feel like browsers should implement it as it already does with other security settings (access to location, camera, etc…) and then people can decide to allow all websites. Blacklist

You’ll never see water like that after a rain. It takes at least 3 days before the run off clears out.

Software engineering is a career that still doesn’t have a workforce large enough to keep up with demand. I don’t see 34 as very old at all. There are several routes you can take and I believe they will depend on what you are interested in.

FWIW work from home because your kid is sick is extremely common at every company I’ve worked at in America as a software engineer as well. No one gets mad and it doesn’t make you look bad. Maybe I’ve been lucky or it could be an industry t

It does not make you overqualified but you would still have to pass the technical interview ;)

Lifelong surfer here, pollution from storm drains doesn’t take a scientific study to see. It’s discusting out there after it rains and it seems like it gets worse and worse. I used to surf after it rained all the time but these days I just

Another saying, “broken gets fixed but shoddy lasts forever”. Edit: this seems like I’m suggesting rust makes shoddy results. Didn’t mean to imply that. I’m actually very excited to use Rust in prod soon.

I wonder if that would play out the same now. That was a long time ago.

I don’t think this is about edge cases but SPA have been abused. Imagine using google docs as a server rendered experience. Or any of the apps in iCloud.com. There are use cases where it makes sense and use cases where it doesn’t. Most of y

Thinking about self driving cars I think the experience in the vehicle will be a potential differentiator.

I've been thinking about this too. I think you are betting on whether or not they are still just getting started. I'm thinking about self driving cars and how much growth can happen there if they crack that nut. When Facebook IPO&

That’s exactly what I would do in the same shoes I think. Proposals are cool and I understand why it is better for an open web etc… but getting features immediately is pretty cool too.

Fair enough. It helps you but it could be better. Depends if you need dynamic routing or not. Personally I don’t find their solution for dynamic routing terrible but it could be better.

Amazon’s stock has gone up a lot. Likely that has a lot to do with it but if this is all base salary that’s awesome. Usually big stock grants go out to those who have shown themselves to be force multipliers. If you can make everyone around

Good for you! Honestly I don’t understand the criticism on one sentence of your post and it made sense to me. “Now that I have some runway I’m going to build something from scratch”? Probably wouldn’t satisfy those that could only dream to

I’m very involved in this space. The company I work for wrote a library similar to Next.js before it was announced and before create-react-app. There are so many things that these solutions solve to only focus on SSR is missing the point. S

I’ve often seen this solved by drawing a canvas at at least 2x the viewable size and then using css to force it to be smaller. This is because of retina displays. Very much like images these days. It is often a very easy thing to solve.
