With the license intact, I wouldn't say it's unethical to remove the history[0]. It's functionally the same as "it would make my life easier to copy-paste this code into my app while fulfilling licensing requirements). A

If you're doing a update/delete/insert in prod because you really have to (I had this a couple times in the last few months): - reproduce the issue and fix locally, with prod data copied over if needed (better than guessing)

Logging isn't only error catching (though I do use it for that). Logging also gets you metrics, access info, timing info, etc. You can get a lot of insights out of the http access logs of a server, even without having errors.

If this can be 90% of the basic VSCode editor experience then I'm interested. Full props to VSCode's more advanced workflows[0], but I've mostly bought into jetbrains for that use case at this point. If I can fill the basic s

Not a switch, but I had two choices for my first job, and took the lower paying one by 10k that was closer to the field I was interested. Totally worth it, since I keep up with that first industry (computer modeling) as a hobby even though

I dunno, at this point "LOL toxic" is such a meme that it's probably a reasonable barrier to entry for folks,so they're probably trying to address that. And "sometimes fun" isn't enough to get over "u

My immediate feeling is this could skip all of the metric parts and lean more into "I will give you X% of revenue for Y amount of time" and get much the same effect of providing motivation for outside devs contributing one-off wor

I have a "standard" project to work on for new languages, which has enough complexity to get me coding things idiomatically by the end, but since it's something I've done before I don't need to worry much about the

Depending on what you mean by "start-up", those are all unfortunately still nice-to-haves, not mandatory, for a functioning app. Having just finished a stint as the main dev at a startup, even commodities still take a reasonable a

Marshmallow. You can use its schema validation for any dict/json, which makes it a nice fit for validating json config files (which mitigates some of the json concerns from the article). Just immediately move the json.reads through a s

I had that happen to a test redis instance on aws (my bad for missing the port auto-routing in the cloudformation script I was trying out). About 24 hours and a bot had placed what I think was a Bitcoin mining program on it through the redi
