I hate how true this is. The US might as well peg the tarrif to infinity on any cars coming from China because at this rate that's essentially what we're doing.

If I understand correctly, the whole point of At-Proto being decentralized is that if bluesky were to shut down we’d still have access to this data. Someone else could create a client for posting and we’d be off to the races. But maybe not?

That's a great point. Either have a ton of money saved up or just start applying to jobs elsewhere immediately. The latter is what I assume most would want to shoot for.

I know this is so common to say that it's a joke at this point but... I'd just quit. If people in my company are making sweeping decisions that I disagree with (how much they are based in reality aside), I would just leave. If the

We do 3 rounds. 1 quick culture fit one, basically do they even like what our company does? Do they say anything offensive? If not, they continue on. Then a 2-3 hour take home (this is self-limited on their end). Once it comes back we give

All of their workers make below what they should. I’m of the belief that low salaries result in low quality. Let’s not be so fast to blame the working class for mismanagement coming down from the top. There are world-class engineering compa

I don’t know that people generally have a problem with testing their knowledge, I think most people that hate on Leetcode (including myself) just don’t like to code in front of strangers in a timed setting like that. I’ve never been good at

Classic. Instead of raising wages they fire 1 in 10. Boeing is such a joke I can’t imagine at this point how they turn it around. Paying $30,000,000/yr to the boss while they constantly face public humiliation and scrutiny due to poor

As someone who literally jumps on any passkey I see given to me as an option - I hope people are using them because I just want to use them more. Passwords are dumb for most use cases. They’re okay if you follow best practices, the thing is

Isn’t the entire idea of the podcast index that they aren’t relying on a single platform for their source of truth? Podcasts are decentralized by design so in theory all links to podcasts should be scrape-able in some way (just as Google sc

Same here. It's been great, and I'm on the Ultra 1 still. I will say it wasn't great when I had the non-Ultra. It was fine at first, the watch would last a full day, but like 2 or 3 years later it would struggle if I did a lo

Were you burnt out _and_ bored or burnt out _due to_ boredom? I've experienced the latter and all I can say is exploring full-stack dev rather than limiting yourself to frontend. There are so many really demanding but also rewarding jo

"reinventing" is a strong and less clear word for "over-abstraction" in my book. Nothing was reinvented in this, and the very example the author gave to prove their point could make sense if, for example, you don't

This isn't really "reinventing JSX", it's just over-abstraction too early. This can be an issue in all code, not just JSX.
