   Hi. I'm sorry you're going through this; it's a tough one. There's another "Ask HN" going on right now: "How do I get fit as a software engineer" [0]. My suggestions would be to start working on yours

   I believe they had some tooling for Java; code annotations or something. Not a generalized solution.

   This is pretty cool. Reminds me a bit of C4 model [0]. The overall idea that I remember is like "google maps" for software. You can start with a high level view (like "North America") and then keep zooming in to see a ne

   Is there an intro you can recommend? I’ve never heard of CP, would love to read about it.

    That only makes sense of your colleagues live in the same neighbourhood, no? Otherwise what's the point of walking to the office where you're the only one?

    Since being remote for the duration of the covid, I'm ready to put a premium on being remote. I'm willing to compromise on compensation by not having to go to the office. I'm not interested in any "perks" that are t

    I think it’s fine to set boundaries. I joined an organization and 6 months in was invited to a meeting (with 30 other devs) to discuss our onboarding to prod support on the weekends and such. I politely refused and held firm. I’ve done enou

    I’ve got the big one last year. It’s still worth it — while the usage overlaps a bit, you still want a ruggerized device that can survive knocks and submersion for emergencies. This is still a rumour after all.

    I have not tried any; but I'just curious -- if you write your epiphanies down do they hold their values or turn into gobbledygook when you sober up?

    I'm confused. > If we want to criticize the War on Terror from a perspective that does not betray sensible macroeconomics, we should not rely on calculations of cost, or suggestions of crowding out to do the work for us. America cou

    I wonder what's stopping dropbox from revoking their API tokens. Isn't this competing directly with the "official" clients?

    I was never a vine user, but did it show videos based on what you liked previously? That's what TikTok does rather well so it zeroes in on what you like and feeds you more of that.

    I’ve really taken to hyper key idea on the Mac. It’s basically a shift-Control-command-option combo bound to caps lock, together with the escape key. Tapping on caps lock generates esc for all your Vim/evil needs, while holding caps an

    That’s not how we think at awesomesoft; there’s no “I” in team. We always give 110%! This kinda attitude is gonna land you in the bottom 10% of stack ranking.

    Show up to all meetings early. This gives you an opportunity to banter with people who are also early. The 1-2 minutes allow for easy chitchat so you can get to know your coworkers. Make sure you’ve got a good microphone. It’s the primary c
