I'm just slightly younger than you, but have the exact same sentiment. Hell, even moreso maybe, because what I realized is that "writing code to implement interesting ideas" is not really what I enjoy - it's coming up wi

Even with human junior devs, ideally you'd maintain some documentation about common mistakes/gotchas so that when you onboard new people to the team they can read that instead of you having to hold their hand manually. You can do

Wild to see this couched as a stern warning. Seems more like "we're not introducing RTO unless there is a good reason for it".

Do you actually believe that is an apt comparison?

Definitely agree, but man, the sheer number of folks who leave just horrible comments on videos/posts people make about how they lost weight on a GLP-1 agonist is so disheartening. In addition to saying that its cheating, they will act

CPAP has been life changing for me. For my entire life I struggled getting up in the morning, and I never felt "refreshed". Getting up before 9-10AM was super difficult. I also was often in a sort of fugue state when I would fi

I personally think that Musk is kind of a dipshit when it comes to his political views, that he is a bit of a charlatan (FSD this year, I swear), that Tesla jumped the shark tank about 2-3 years ago, and I laugh every time I see more bad ne

Think of chess. Its pretty easy to learn the rules. Once you've done that you can watch a game and know roughly what is happening. But its still a hard game to master.

The playground simulation is pretty cool. One thing I found interesting, is it you go with PEWMA and create a scenario where the cluster is stressed, and then add 1 server, it pummels the shit out of the new server and you have a brief surg

Did this 20 years ago by having the name of the server as part of the user's profile. User's 1 through 50 (light users) log in and their profile says they go to app-1.myapp.com. User's 51 through 60 (heavy users) log in and t

This is pretty much how I already write SQL, just using CTEs. In fact I bet the most straightforward way to transpile PRSQL to SQL would be using CTEs.

Too many times in my career have I seen an employer lose an employee, who has a ton of institutional knowledge and performs adequately or even excellently, only to replace them them with someone that ends up costing much more money, and the

Universal bytecode that is architecture agnostic. Take some rust code, compile it into wasm, and call it from dotnet. Compile your app into wasm and run it anywhere on any architecture. At least that is the end goal as I understand it. The

I happen to be building this exact same product, but closed source, and somewhat attached at the hip to my company's 3PL WMS product. One thing I did not see in your demo, is inventory synchronization. I'm guessing thats because

I have such fond memories of these systems. I was lucky enough to go to a magnet high school in the late 90s and we had a lab full of these. Getting such early exposure to not only UNIX (well, AIX) but also the RISC architecture definitel

This is pretty neat. The complexity jump from CRUD to Circles and Cells is pretty radical, though. I feel like a Master/Detail task would be a nice addition, and it could include a resizable divider so that the GUI framework's la

It is absolutely the case in certain circumstances. I know several evangelical parents who want their kids ignorant about sexual health because they think teaching kids about sexual health will lead to them engaging in sex. Of course, that

I follow more of this track as well...buy the highest end model and use it 2-3 times as long as you would a lower end model (but you're not paying 2-3 times the price). My 2015 MBP made it to the end of 2021 for me - when the fans star

Just the fact that a code path exists that can disable the device would scare the shit out of me if I were a developer for that company. What if its hacked? What if there is a bug? What if there is a Ops fuckup that mass disables devices? W
