I respect Paul and everything that he writes, even if I don’t agree with it. It takes some serious stones to publish your thoughts on the internet - whether people agree or not. In any case. This seems like a continuation of the never endin

No, that call isn’t difficult. What is more difficult are examples given on things like Angular University, where there are pipe, subscribe, catchError, among others, in a single call chain. It’s not obvious to me at all what the order of e

I have been having a ridiculous time trying to find out just how to override an appsettings json variable (DBConnection string) with an environment variable. Could not find any good answer. What is the right way?

I feel I must ask where you live / what competitive salaries look like to you, because as far as I know, a software developer salary of $190,000 USD+ in Barcelona, Spain is eye-poppingly high

It seems to me, in my uninformed layman opinion, that it would do the opposite. Maybe it would force the outliers down but perhaps bring the average up. These are two common scenarios I see: - Two employees at the same level on the same tea

If you want to give back, consider hiring from the organization Rick (subject of the podcast) started - Underdog Devs. It’s a loosely collected group of mentors and mentees with a small dedicated group of full-time learners on a stipend pro

That "exact fingerprint" is, in my opinion, intentionally confusing. This DaringFireball[0] article states the goal of the system is to "generate the same fingerprint identifier if the same image is cropped, resized, or even
