   Parents, family and friends being on Facebook seems like a reason not to have an account -- but maybe that's just me.

   Idk, getting laid off from a douche-fest like Bolt seems like a gift. We should be celebrating, not criticizing.

   I am sad to say that I have had a significant dealings with a narcissist for years without being familiar with the term. From my experience, the narcissist suffered some traumatic event, probably in ~early childhood, and somehow it caused t

   I'm a fan of KeyCloak and use in prod. My biggest complaint though, is the storage of configuration in a database. This makes deployment complex, because you can't just deploy code, you must also mutate your database on each deplo

   In public sector tech circles, I frequently get asked about incident management as I have a good thing going at a major transit agency. Unfortunately, no one ever asks the right questions. I don't get asked about minimum viable runbook

   Use a timer. Time how long you can stay focused on a task. Strive to achieve longer blocks... but don't take this too far. You can achieve a lot in few 1 hour blocks. That being said, if you check your email every 5 minutes... yeah, th

    Measuring software engineer performance is pretty hard, and there is a lot of potential to screw it up. This is my approach, eager to learn more about how others are approaching this!

    When the military power between two countries has a significant gap, you can also consider it more of a police action. A good example would be US war on Iraq. No one in US lost sleep worrying about getting bombed by Iraqi fighter planes fly

    This dude should apply for some jobs. As a hiring manager, I don't spend much time searching for blog posts about someone being interested in a new job. The part about resignation without having a new job may be totally fine, but I&#x2

    I think in a lot of cases, allowing the content below a modal to scroll is okay. If the user wants to scroll the content beneath a modal... so be it

    Maybe I don't get it, but this doesn't strike me as particularly interesting... ie who cares who owns it and what they do with it? They are framing this as an important cause, but I just don't believe it is.

    If you are an experienced programmer, well, and experienced programmer who is actually good at programming, companies won't care if you know language X, because they will expect that you could just pick it up on the job. PS: I have ton

    I'm glad they are making money, but 1M in revenue doesn't strike me as a lot of money once you divide it across 4 people. I'm making 1/4th of 1M just by having a job, no startup capital required ;)

    What do you mean if? Predatory policing and illegal surveillance are a normative experience for many Americans. For example, the muslim-American community. The FBI frequently seduces psychologically ill or mentally disabled individuals to c
