For me, it's not clear what was most valuable here. I think that's an important thing to take away from a statement on traveling more. I don't think all of the items will have had equal value. Being physically present and che

I appreciated this too. First time I've seen a dark/light selector on the right side which also highlighted how you can blend old and new very effectively.

It's a top-heavy market because the industry-wide growth and momentum was 2001-2008. Since that period, the available alternatives for entry into a dev career have increased. Python/Ruby/JavaScript tend to be what most junior

Stack Overflow was an example of this. They had a relatively small dev team and they also maintained a very small hardware footprint for delivering their product. Over time they expanded their scope into products beyond the Stack Overflow a

It's hard to convince people of this if they haven't developed the skill in any context. I was pleasantly surprised to see @brushfoot's comment and reply at the top when I started reading. I didn't realize I suffered fro

Would be interesting if you can also factor in a school schedule or Jewish holidays as well. There are probably other layers you could add because school schedules in the US and England are very different. After having kids and observing th

I think this expectation has always existed, but engineers have been able to get cover for not understanding or participating. Now it is harder for engineers at any level to cover which means they have to understand the business and partici

For people with large numbers of podcasts as well as many paid subscriptions there is a lot that can be done to better manage the situation, including deduplication. This falls into the power user bucket so it's less valuable to these

Do you mean create a team behind the app? What element of design do you mean? There are things with the Overcast design that I like and dislike, but they fall into multiple categories. Marco seems like a very independent individual who want

Whether they avail of it, or not, Adobe have the possibility of accessing feedback and iterating on it for a lot of core design markets. I have a similar view to yours, but there is a segment of the AI community who feel that they are disru

They are cheap. People have more of a focus on cost recently which pushes back against AWS. As far as vibes go, more people seem to be getting back into managing their own machines and self-hosting. I think Linode used to fill that void but

I hope things work out as well as they can for you. I don't have experience with your situation but wanted to offer one suggestion of a resource for help if you are in the US. Before getting connected with them, I was completely unawar

You aren't the only one thinking this. The surface area and possibilities with CSS amaze me as one of those web developers who had a solid understanding years ago and have returned it recently. The sentiment is a response to feeling ov
