Really dodgy reporting. They article shows the “alarming” first message of the Twitter threads then if you look at the further analysis (in later replies) it’s from a function which is rage shake which is a bug reporting tool which then the

As an ex-consultant I would never hire a consultancy to do technical work or want to work there again now I’ve seen behind the curtain. The main issue is resourcing is pretty much ALWAYS awful as their goals (maximum resource billing) don’t

Currently using TypeORM in a production system, has caused us so many issues to be honest highly recommend everyone avoiding. IMO they’ve added every feature under the sun but not bothered on focusing on quality, some things just don’t work

Best of luck to you when you do the interviews! Everything just takes time and practice :)

This made my day, absolutely wonderful achievement! Especially the area that you’re now in...it’s really not an easy task to retrain yourself for ML. I’m 12 years in professionally and still loving every second of it! Currently been sluggin

Do hate this about javascript. one of the main reasons on the web side (apart from js not having a good STL) however is enterprises are still locked in to IE11 which requires all these tranpilers/bundlers to use modern syntax which usu

I would assume it’s due to a lot of the banks running windows and having large AD rollouts means it’s a bit of a gateway to the rest of their cloud services. You have to use Azure ADFS for things like office 365/teams, so would make se

Came into the same issues. I hate example projects like these because they are misleading and read like silver bullets. The split stack resources thing is extremely difficult to manage due to serverless not supporting CF params. so you have

yeah I’m doing similar in my spare time just because it feels like it’s 2 seconds from falling apart, lol

Been using it recently to try and run a large serverless app offline for dev purposes, it kind of works but the experience is ok...not great. They seem to be piling all their energy into creating mocks for new (paid) services when it might

Does anyone know of a real beginners level guide to Bazel that isn’t the docs. Got a typescript monorepo with a few backend services/react frontends I wanted to build and I got a bit lost in the complexity of it due to package.json han

Testing is valuable but my opinion of it has changed over the years. On a new/fast evolving product I prefer to have a solid suite of integration/e2e tests and a lighter unit test suite near the edge of a server with no mocking of

This is really cool. Just to pick your brain (I’m an ML noob and it triggered an idea in my head). I was wondering if GPT-2 could be used to generate small paraphrases for an input sentence for search suggestions? e.g “I’m going to the mall

Don’t know if it’s just me but looked at Bazel a few weeks ago. Insane levels of complexity for just building multiple NodeJS projects. Anyone know of anything similar but without that steep learning curve?

Didn’t mean callbacks, meant shape of the code with indents could get large and difficult to grep. JSX style macro over the top might help .

Commend on the attempt, foward thinking now wasm is getting more traction. but I can imagine that view syntax turning into an insane > circa the old days of callbacks in nodejs

We had to do this a few years ago for a major bank. Automated tools like a11y will only get you a certain amount of the way. Your tests will say 100% but your app may still be completely useless to blind people especially if you’re using an

Dynamo as a replacement for RDS is great until you come across these simple things that are easy to implement in a RDS (like a paging model for row results) and you need to jump to a page in the middle. it’s the biggest PITA.

I’m not going to fault him on the RDBMS comment, they scale shockingly due to the aforementioned connections comment but dynamodb is really not a replacement for a traditional RDBMS. But I’ve seen so many people get themselves into trouble

Real big fan of TS, like anything though you just have to be disciplined when using it. Type absolutely everything and set the transpiler to the most aggressive checks possible... If you’re being lazy and putting : any everywhere and then c
