A part of a product I worked on was killed by the business and outsourced instead. I’m 100% sure this was in fact because of technical debt, even though my team members would disagree. It wasn’t even technical debt in the sense that it was

I feel that, especially with video calls, it’s good to have some sort of moderator. If someone is talking too much, they can jump in and just say “xxx, what do you think?”, quite often that’s really all you need. In video calls it’s much ha

I've been using it as a CMS in one of my latest projects, and so far it's been great. The database structure it generates is pretty neutral, and probably the same way I would normally build it. I haven't used their API/G

The cinema I was in was literally vibrating all over the place due to the loud music, it was very distracting.

Asking for - what to me seems like basic - details is something I’ve been doing every time a recruiter reaches. And honestly, maybe only 5% replies with all the requested information. If their response doesn’t come with the answers, or it’s

When you put it like that, it doesn't make sense for the company at all. All they have to do is treat their employees well and fair. Like I said, if my company gives me the opportunity for a promotion and a fair salary increase, then I

Which is fair, but you're also missing the entire reason as to why I'm switching. As an employee, I want to work for a company where I can keep growing, and where my skills and salary is fairly evaluated over time. I don't wa

Even for city use it was great. I've used it plenty of times when traveling to new places, because quite often I wouldn't know if I would be able to get data on my phone. So it was great being able to download maps up front.

As with everything, do it within reason. If you can't afford to buy lunch/dinner daily, obviously don't do it. But I think the point that the parent was trying to make was that if you don't feel like cooking one day, it&

Are people like that so rare? Heck, I've been questioned and rejected from potential jobs many times because most of my roles have been under 2 years. I've always explained that I changed jobs because that was the only way to get

Something is definitely off with the voice acting in Vs' (male) voice, I can't quite put a finger on it, but most of the responses just don't match with the conversation that's going on.

I'm also enjoying the game, and I love going around in the city, it's amazingly beautiful and quite detailed. But on the other hand, it feels absolutely dead at times, during the missions the city comes alive, but outside of missi

I need to agree with you on this one, some of the NPCs throughout the story have terrible voice acting, but I can forgive it because they're a small part of the game. But the players' character is something that bothers me everyth

You would be surprised how little effort sometimes goes into code reviews or security scans. Up until recently the team I was dropped into didn’t have any authentication for all their endpoints, I pointed this out and secured them all, exce

I truly don’t understand this. People are so opposed to governments adding more and more censorship, especially when it comes to China and what has been happening in HK. And now, they’re almost cheering this as a good thing, just because th

I didn’t even use Netlify functions, it was all just HTML and a few lines of JavaScript.

It’s really simple; I used Jekyll, every URL was a post with a simple template that did the redirection.

That’s clever! I once did the same, except I used a static site generator that I would push to Github and deploy on Netlify.

For paying at stores, I also just use credit cars (Apple Pay), it’s indeed more convenient. For utilities, I open the app, check if I have a bill and click “pay”. It’s nice to be able to pay all utilities from one app, instead of having to

I use it in Hong Kong, it's very convenient to pay utility bills with. Some merchants also accept it for online payments, and you can pay with it at convenient stores, although Octopus card is far easier there.

Same here, I was really excited for this. But the FB requirement is stupid, now I’ll wait for other players to catch up.

This seems to be fairly deliberate, the QR code might probably give you some clues. They needed to generate a QR code so the user could just scan it and reset their password.

At least where I work, every team can essentially decide what they do, as long as they follow a few basic guidelines. So newer projects usually have centralised logging and automated deployments. But sadly there’s still a wall between devel

We still don't have a single deployment solution, we don't even have single hosting solution. We can choose between 3 different cloud providers, or dedicated servers. (They're pushing for cloud now) The thing is, this all is
