I’m pretty sure GP is saying if you already had an account and you delete it, it’s trivially easy for someone to register with your old handle and impersonate you Of course people can always impersonate you but the goal here is to prevent t

I’ve never heard anyone brag about giving working PIPs. PIPs are pretty demoralizing even if they “work”. Maybe you should consider giving people feedback in non-PIP form!

How are you allowed to tell me if that's an honest question or not? Do I have some hidden WP Engine shill comments in my history or something? Can you read my mind? I don't have a strong opinion on WP Engine's behavior, becau

Honest question: what am I supposed to be demanding from WPEngine? They’re not the ones out there posting unhinged rants.

There’s no reason you can’t do both, and indeed some a11y linters recommend doing that

I'm in the same boat as GP. Was invited early, loved the Arc UX far more than any other browser. I've recommended it to many people. As many other comments have pointed out, this vulnerability is such a rookie mistake that I don&#

Not GP but I would never use bare JS again for anything other than maybe like a 20 line script, for the same reasons as GP

Paying a non-trivial portion of your engineers high salaries will kill any startup without unlimited money, regardless of what other guardrails you have in place.

This is the weirdest sentiment out of the entire article. "Only hire A-players" and "monitor them". I know exactly 0 A-hire engineers who would tolerate being monitored. Why wouldn't they leave to go to one of the m

Lots of comments here saying "it's just marketing". I agree to some extent, but Datadog is easily the worst offender I've ever seen. I work on a small engineering team and more than half the team got calls to their perso

I haven’t seen anyone saying the founders shouldn’t have done this or that they wouldn’t have done the same in their shoes. I’m allowed to be happy for the founders and also hate Adobe and worry about the future of a product I use at the sa

For me, the unsettling part is that this has to be done virtually now. I remember fondly during my college years the times I was studying in silence with my friends. We were bonding over the shared experience of working towards our goals to

If you equate "consuming information" with learning, yes you are right that learning in public is more time-consuming than learning in private. However, there are several studies[1] that show dramatic improvements in retention and

This is a strange way to phrase the question. Sites that had to shift to app-like experiences are hard to find, because nowadays pretty much every web app is an app-like experience from the beginning and is created with a JS framework. The

Okay? You gave one example, C#, and extrapolated that to every single serious programming language you've ever used. I just took a quick look and none of Java, ruby, python, and PHP has this functionality in its standard library. Also

We’re talking about a terminal colorization function though. Fragmentation of packages aside, are there any other languages that have terminal text colorization built into the standard library?

I feel like GUI vs. IDE misses a major part of the workflow. There's a lot to this workflow that isn't replicable on Github currently (dependency graph, frequently edited files, etc.). Navigating locally in your IDE is also part o

That’s a reasonable assessment. I worked at startups for 3 years before joining a FAANG company and they flat-out ignored my startup experience for leveling purposes, placing me as a junior engineer.

I don't think you have to justify or challenge your dislike for Medium. It's pretty reader-hostile. I get why authors write on it but I personally click away every time I get hit with the paywall.

Redux vs. jank proprietary solution aren't the only options. For instance, a lot of what people use Redux for is fetching and storing API data, or managing cross-component state. A combination of react-query[1] and React context does t

I enjoyed it while I used it but my main issues with it were with the developer experience and how many files the logic was spread across: actions, action constants, reducers, etc. When you have to edit 4 different files just to add a loadi

Agreed, I now greatly regret it knowing what I know about the theory of learning, but I crammed my entire way through college and graduated with honors. It's embarrassing to say but I can recall close to 0 of the facts or formulas that

You don’t think that claiming this is a non-issue (or mole hill) requires unjustifiably generalizing your good experience at your one company?

It sounds like you know this job isn't a good fit for your disposition and ambitions. Staying somewhere where you're not a good fit won't really do anyone any favors, and a FAANG will have no problems replacing you. I was in

Not disagreeing that a team might be better for targeting Enterprise SaaS but is the implication that a solo founder can’t learn to talk about other people’s non-technical problems?

My naive guess is that this is in response to the recent release of GitHub Copilot. There was a lot of surrounding discussion about whether we were approaching a future where human developers are unnecessary. Feels a bit late to be respondi
