Yeah I don't think github was remote-first when it started.

Could that be because of lack of funding? I had friends in a private highschool and they were taught financial literacy, which isn't a big surprise. The rich getting richer.

As a more senior dev who reviews junior prs all the time I hope they have the same view. I work with a lot of great people who seem to always want to get better, so I think they do. I only wish I had the same level of scrutiny when I was a

Credit Cards are so frightening. I remember having to hide from my Mom that I had gotten one when I was 18, because she was so scared I would ruin my life with it. Of course it's done the opposite.. I've built credit and saved lot

I'm doubtful of this. Apple has more than enough cash to keep the ball rolling on R&D to weather this recession we keep hearing is "about to hit us" and the R&D cycle takes years anyway. Current/future state of t

Haha so true, it’s pretty wild and sometimes I feel crazy not being a crypto hater on here. Don’t get me wrong, there are scams galore in the space but I think there’s a real place for crypto in the future.

Snapchat is currently #17 of all free apps in the US. I see it much higher sometimes. If you don’t like the app, I get it. But let’s not pretend Snapchat is dead or something.

What's the issue with keeping these all free but not installed by default? I haven't used any of those apps in years.

Once I accepted that JS might not be the worst language in existence I slowly got to the point where now JS is my go-to language for most things. Specifically with TypeScript, I feel like I have the best of both worlds. I have a typed scrip

Thanks for clarifying. Of course you can just wait for the market to pick up again (assuming you're not living in an area where prices will continue to fall for years) but that's some good info.

My understanding is almost always yes if you can afford it and want to own a house. If the prices go down, you can refinance and pay less. If the prices go up, you’ve already bought the house so it’s just free money. If you have a good emer

Google has become impressively good at killing their own products. It's just unfortunate they can't support things enough to get them off the ground in the first place.

You don’t need to be an expert in technologies to work in them. Keep that in mind and know that a lot of any job is just having confidence and putting in the work.

I’ll just say that a lot of jobs don’t follow the exact agile sprint methodology. At my company we have weekly sprints which are just rough lists of what each of us will do, and there’s no pressure to do more ever. And if I can’t do somethi

I wonder how much of the drop is just due to Elon's public persona in the past 2 years. He's really embraced the billionaire villain arc. In my personal bubble of young friends who are right around the age to buy their first EVs,

This. I've had micromanager PMs that made my life hell and I've had PMs that advocate for me to others. It's all about hiring the right people and healthy company culture.

100% my experience too. It's not that much more work to get TS setup for a projects and the dividends for doing so are vast in the long run.

Personally remote work has been life-changing in a positive way. - I make more than 2x what I made last year, in part because the types of jobs I could apply for expanded massively. - I'm able to work in my prefered tech stack. Serverl

To me, even if an employee does not do their work, this is an absurd ruling. Just fire the employee and move on. If we allow this to continue/become the norm, we are voluntarily choosing to give _more_ money to the rich few who own com

Yeah this just demonstrates the courts being out of touch with reality when it comes to labor issues like this.

It’s been known for decades that gas stoves cause issues for childhood development both physically and mentally. The effect surely exists for adults too but most likely people don’t notice feeling foggy-headed as a serious issue in their li

Recently I've had an experience with a minor gas leak that's left me afraid to even use my furnace. I have a gas furnace, and I live in a rental. The furnace works, but for the first hour of it being on I can smell gas. It's

Yeah these are based on numbers from Levels, which is known to report salaries from top tech companies. I'm sure numbers from BLS or even something like Glassdoor are far more accurate when thinking about the industry as a whole.

Tons of companies are hiring. Just the largest ones are using this news cycle as an excuse to trim the fat. If you’re interested in top-10 tech companies, just know it’ll be difficult to find a job. Otherwise there are still tech companies

Sounds great but also kind of a bummer this doesn't exist on Windows natively.
