Are there any big feature flag SaaS vendors that support this? Like LaunchDarkly, Flagsmith, Unleash etc?

I do this as well, but be aware that these external names you're using for internal devices become a matter of public record this way. If that's okay for you (it is for me), then this is a good solution. The advantage is also that

I wonder why Hugo is still on a <1 version. It has existed for 11 years now. Is it really so hard to design a stable API for themes and content? People in the comments as well as Julia in the article are mentioning breaking changes. I wo

Legally they aren't, morally you could argue they are.

You have to bring your own device? Do you have a major stake in the company you work for? Do you get an outrageously high salary? If the answer is no on both, you are taken major advantage of and you should quit asap

How is it not just a neutral enforcement action against the Telegram platform? The Telegram platform knowingly hosts illegal content in unencrypted format and does little to moderate that, which is illegal in many countries. The CEO is acco

I’m also a repeat LotR watcher, but I always watch the extended edition. Any reason why you never watch those?

I’m not convinced that limiting expressiveness (for example by not supporting generics) will make software easier to read and maintain. For smaller programs that might very well be true, but for me personally, having more expressiveness mak

The author is not saying that ordering needs to be added to the _current_ map implementation. He suggests adding an additional map implementation that has ordering built in. That way, you can choose between functionality and (hypothetical)

I’m not 100% convinced of that. I think many companies will be successful despite not hiring the best people. In fact, for big corporates this is the norm.

What assumptions are part of the entirely reasonable question “how long would it take to fix this bug?”
44.
by DandyDev 2y ago
So you worked for twelve years on that code base and you still don’t know how to estimate a bug fix? There seem to be other problems then. And you are right, I don’t know anything about that code base, certainly not enough to know if estima

No worries! Regarding capitalism favoring hiring for competence, I’m afraid history has not shown this. I’ve seen in my own environment that male candidates were hired where more competent female candidates were available. And this has been

Efficiency is, profitability is not I think. Maybe I’ve worked with the wrong engineers, but many engineers I have worked with know how to solve technical problems, which does not necessarily mean customer problems. The reasons disciplines

by DandyDev 2y ago
The thing is, there is a lot of unconscious bias where race and gender are taken into account already, in a way that reduces hiring changes for people who are not white cis hetero males. At least that has been the case in the past sadly. So

Companies usually exist to make money. I’ve seldomly seen software engineers that know the most effective way to make money. Therefore I see 2 problems with this bottom up approach: - Software Engineers don’t understand the best way to make

Let’s be honest. Your boss asked a reasonable question and your answer could have been something like “I need a day to familiarize myself with the code so I can give a rough but reasonable estimate. Also, I apologize I and the team fucked u

Trains work very well in densely populated areas, even if its logistically challenging. I live in the Netherlands and despite what detractors would tell you, it’s impressive how on time the Dutch railways can keep such a complex schedule.

I don’t understand the advantage of people downloading sites and then uploading them to the archive setup by archive team. What is the advantage over archive team directly downloading sites into their archive?

YAML in any form is error prone and hard to write. Protobuf - for all its warts - is much easier to write And much more type safe. But let’s just agree to disagree here. You do you and build REST APIs, while I’ll stick to gRPC

by DandyDev 2y ago
People use it - like I do - because they like the improved type safety compared to REST. We use gRPC at $dayjob and I would hate going back to the stringly typed mess that is JSON over REST or the _really_ absurdly over engineered complexit

10 person startup -> that is a strawman if I ever saw one. There are many 100 person scale ups that are pre-profit for who the hassle of managing separate accounts for X SaaS tools for 100+ people is justifiably too much to ask but who c

Thank you! I really hate it when people throw around acronyms instead of just hitting a few extra keys on their keyboard for clarity
