How is this a better option that just going with Nextjs?

One of the startups I worked at had a simple rule - if you wanted to complain about something being bad, you had to come with suggestions how to make it better. And they had to be real, tangible option that could be implemented, not "h

I had a similar experience when I got into software. As a junior, more than once I wished to just to quit the field - even after years of CS studies & it being one of the best opportunities one can have in my area. The draining nature o

Knowing more is better than knowing less. Are you the unicorn person that can learn everything on the program without the "incentive" of failing if you don't? Personally, I'm finishing my 2nd bachelors right now, in law

It's all part of the Molusks grand plan: Disable 2FA -> fall under 45mil users -> don't have to implement the most stringent version of the new law -> profit?

From personal PoV as a software engineer - not that surprising. I've yet to have any success from any online application, while my hit rate when contacted by recruiters is relatively high - nothing to do with particular recruiters bein

I'm not arguing that tech giants shouldn't run the risk of becoming public utilities - after all, quite a lot of their success could be attributed to utilising public resources, either directly or indirectly (user data, monopolist

I know it's very American to think constitution applies universally, but unless Twitter becomes a government agency - they owe you nothing. If a private entity de-platforms you, you will have no claim against them, unless you have a co

I did try to do it, currently not yet successfully. Since I had interest in law, I started working on a LLB (a law degree that would be first step to be a lawyer in the UK) on the side, thinking I could pivot into a niche of legal tech (com

While I do run a separate business on the side (brewing drinks), it does not help if the "job that makes the money" has close to no excitement. Getting through work hours is just that much harder.

For me it's getting to the point of it feeling like a grind. Yes, all things considered, my current pay is good. Looking around the market, it is on par with some more niche roles and around MAANG level here in London. The closer I get

While I do not expect to go for very niche jobs, in part of them being quite heavily location specific, even things that seem dev adjacent do not feel very easy to get into. As you mentioned, straight out uni funnels seems like one of the b

I've actually looked at their terms (which is rare for services I have no intention of using) - wow, it's amazing what a clusterfuck it is.

While as someone living in London, I fully agree that Scotland should have sovereignty without the English BS, I do find it chuckle worthy the url they created for this cause: "independence-modern-world-wealthier-happier-fairer-not-sco

This is pretty much it. If the consumer is not paying for it in some ways (for example in the UK, consumers can pay Which?[1] to access their reviews) - the companies are. If the companies are the ones footing the bill, I see no way to have

It probably is the end game for any review website. Your client usually dictates the business model to a degree. At this point, TrustPilots business model is essentially reputation laundering. If you pay them enough, they will use their mos

People who call for Leet Code either never tried to hire actually high skill developers or fools themselves into thinking that they're the cool kid in town. You might think it's better than any other alternative. I agree - it&#x27

Those 5-10min to setup my PSVR is a high tax to pay when I have maybe 30mins to play something. Not willing to sell my soul to FB (not yet at least :D), so no affordable wireless VR headset options...

It's interesting that a lot of people here seem to consider a second FT position as immoral/illegal. How about instead of a second FT job - studying FT for an unrelated degree? The time needed is arguably the same as a second FT a

It's an interesting duality of engineers - love the coding challenges when they are the ones evaluating, while refuse to do them themselves :)

Even if the goal is not to make money, I'd think that most would at least want an audience to read their work. Publishing a book, especially paperback is a considerable commitment, yet there's no lack of them coming out in paperba
