I find it interesting that so many people here are quick to defend a person’s right to moonlight on whatever they want, and the right of a person not to have their IP stolen by the company they work for. But when it’s a public figure sudden

I came here to say that $200/hour is only "extremely conservative" in very few and small geographic parts of the world. Where I'm from (in a large city in the US) this number would be described as extravagant. I've

This is hilarious. Can’t keep a straight face for anything, though.

That’s a general tenet of all religions rooted in Judaism. OT—-“No one is righteous, no, not one.”—and later in NT Romans—-“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” The inadequacy and even brokenness of man is what necessita

I think self-preservation probably plays a role here, too. If you think management will just fire you and hire someone who will claim they can build it in Unity, then maybe you decide this isn’t the hill you want to die on.

Yeah, I agree it doesn’t fit well in any of the usual accounting boxes. But I think that’s the point, right?

I wasn’t trying to make that argument, but I were I would argue that software itself is more like a liability, or, at the most, a current asset[0]. Source code has no inherent value, and in fact the more you have the more expensive it is. [

I think the obvious implication is that software development is expensive, ongoing and tends to result in relatively short term ROI, and therefore the amortization schedule of 5 years increases the likelihood smaller business will never col

That assumes it renders the same in all locales. Most likely it doesn’t.

Oh, well if _that’s_ all it’ll take… you may as well stop talking or worrying about it and just enjoy your life since nothing short of a global extinction event will make a dent.

https://naprun.dev Nap is a command-line API testing tool that uses YAML files. I wrote it because I couldn’t find anything equal to it. I use it at work to help our QA folks build test suites for our back-end services.

I'd say something like: > I _am_ <company name>. This product is my baby.

Yep, this is a big reason I pulled all my wife's old blogs out of WP and moved them into static sites. The reduced (removal of, really) threat model alone has been so worth it.

Well you don't have to use that passage to know that's exactly what the Bible teaches--"For all have sinned..." Rom 3:23. Or, later in the same letter, Paul speaks about his own struggles: “For I know that nothing good d

Interesting! I have built a similar tool, but more geared toward speed and CI/CD pipelines (check my submission history if you really want to know, don't want to detract from this project in any Way). This looks like a very "

Nice work! It's fun to see other people hacking away at Golang projects. I've been contemplating how to write tests for my own project, and this has given me some ideas.

Definitely, though not as polished or stable as the CLI spec at the moment--the CLI code all sits in one package and calls into the others. The logic to execute a run is all shown in cmd/run.go, but I agree an example might help illust

Dave here. This is a personal project of mine borne out of a desire to improve upon the existing HTTP automation tools out there. Nap is a CLI tool that runs HTTP tests stored in YAML files. The advantages are: * You can store everything in

Tbh it sounds like a whalescript to me. Often it's not the database's fault the performance is bad ;)

If it’s a personal project, then my advice is not to be so hard on yourself. There’s no deadline. Each time you decide to spend time on your project, you can choose how you spend that time. If researching and project management tools is rea

I love me some Kent Beck, and I know your comment was tongue-in-cheek, but I doubt he was interviewed for this article. 1 month for that kind of a product is short enough that it’s either a clerical error or someone is BSing big time.

Anyone else a bit skeptical of the “time to having a live product” timeline of many of these companies? Maybe I’m wrong, but e.g. there’s no way Gusto produced a working managed payroll product in a month. There must have been either been s

Wouldn’t something akin to swift UI work well in this situation? I can understand that not having a “component” class to inherit would make building custom components difficult, but if most layout and skinning can be accomplish via function
