This is essentially the choice I made a couple years back. Vintageous isn't perfect but it's the best vim emulator I've used. Sublime is a great text editor on top of it.

Has anyone who is raising ethical concerns of this been around a horseshoe crab? They are essentially large insects. Killing a cockroach because it was in your house is objectively worse. It was just bugging you. This is saving human lives.

I've found the biggest thing for me being able to continue to be motivated is to have the freedom to really craft the software I'm working on. Nothing is as soulcrushing as having to pump out a substandard delivery.

Doublethink is pervasive in a lot of modern thought. Hopefully this trend will make people evaluate it a bit more.

Make sure they are using Typescript/ES6. JavaScript still has some oddities in behavior but I actually prefer some aspects of the language design now compared to python.

The hardest thing for me when I was junior dev was simply being noticed. I'd rather someone be hard on me than to pretend I don't exist.

These sorts of articles always conflate the most basic premise of success- the quality of the people. Sure, you can point to statistics about how people who graduate from college earn more over a lifetime, but does that really tell you havi

I mostly use sshuttle for this sort of thing now. It works well and is fairly customizable but you're out of luck if you are on an OS that doesn't use iptables.

It's interesting that neither this article or Paul's related December article ever address the most basic and seminal question about this in the first place: why is this a problem? Why is it a big deal if there are less female fo

I stopped reading at "I'm not female, so I don't have to worry about getting thousands of rape threats every month". Inserting unsubstantiated claims for shock value into an argument just detracts from any other points h
