Auto-generated UML. This requires you to be using foreign keys or maintaining the relationships in your codebase. My friend's PHP framework generates UML for MongoDB based on the code in his models

I've lived on dirt roads. At this point you only really find them in very rural areas because of their disadvantages. 1) Dirt roads can become almost impassable in bad weather. Everything turns to mud so it's very easy to get stuc

You can manage servers manually but it's kind of like supporting applications without tests. You're going to spend an order of magnitude more time dealing with problems especially if you ever need to add a new server. You can get

One way to deal with this is to do bulk data downloads into a data warehouse or your main database. Alternatively, you can spend time integrating the third party into your systems.

Fully agree. Each type of editor excels at different use-cases. vim/emacs. Once you get up to speed, you can type or move around faster than with other editors. The main reason to use these are because you're already spending m

That relationship may not be as strong as you think and it certainly doesn't hold true for all standardized tests. LSATS often are negatively correlated to grades (which surprised my professor when he was the dean of the law school).

This depends on how you manage your computer. If you put all your personal projects in your home directory this could be a pita. Really what you'll need to do is to make heavy use of gitignore. Obviously bash_history changes on every c

I typically use .po files, which I think is the linux standard. Most languages should be able to use .po files, or an equivalent format. It might make sense to create a git submodule for all of your .po files and give all your repos access

It really depends on the company. My suspicion is that companies only get serious about DR once they reach a fairly big size. When I interviewed at Squarespace they were just finishing building out their second datacenter. At that point it

You should probably put some money aside for tools and marketing budget. You probably need a server somewhere and a domain name. Marketing almost certainly needs an advertising budget.

At the application level make sure you're secured against the most common security problems like xss, sql injections, csrf and that you're using the recommended hashing/encryption library for your language. For testing, you c

I worked for Google as a contractor for a small team a few years ago. What's most impressive looking back is that everyone I worked with was genuinely nice and smart including the cooks and janitors. I would be willing to hire literall

No, not really. You can solve most problems with any number of mainstream languages with a few caveats. 1) The language has to run and be supported on the platform of choice (You probably can't use perl to write mobile apps nor are you

When was the last time the code was updated? How many people have contributed to it?Really I'm looking to see whether the project is being actively maintained.

1)There are a couple alternatives. There's TOML, axon. 2)It can be whatever you want. It's your language. If you are reusing a current format it will be easier for devs and sysadmins to keep the current syntax

I'm currently in transition from developer to PM. As a developer you always have the ability to bang something out and do something. As a PM, there are more frustrating days. I spend my day answering emails, tracking down stakeholders

Interesting to see how Neverware has changed over the years. If I remember correctly their V2 product was about replacing old computers/laptops with virtual machines running in the cloud. They have a new solution but they're still

For most companies what version of firefox probably doesn't matter. However, there are tons of legacy desktop apps in government, call centers etc where installing a new version of firefox will break the application. Hell, the callcent

If you don't like the 2 year release cycle, use Ubuntu, which is Debian-based. Debian maintains such long release cycles because the tolerance for bugs and incompatibilities are smaller than other linux distros. For long-lived applica

In general, self-taught Web Developers tend to lack some of the computer science theory. This may show up when you work on a large project and you need to sort and ingest a million records at a time. There can also be a tendency to be attra

I work in the NY area and engineering positions are still plentiful. I think what you're seeing in the SV market is in part a response to the venture capital crunch. That said, I wouldn't worry too much about finding a "safe&
