There's a wonderful documentary by BBC Horizon with Andrew Wiles from 1996 – highly recommend! I saw it in the 90's and it's a documentary for everyone. It captures the effort, struggle, highs and lows of a 7 year effort work

I wasn't going to pipe up because I wasn't sure that a Hackernews thread is a good substitute for an issue tracker... but it's related to new AI-driven workflows so I hope it chins the bar. Now that I work on 3-8 concurrent p

This is why I use dark mode too – and it's made a huge difference for me. My floaters are particularly noticeable on white-backgrounded screens/webpages on my 43" external monitor where because, I assume, my eyes have to dart

It is great news and I am surprised to be honest. From New Zealand, our closest AWS region is Sydney with a ping (over Wifi, as I write this from Auckland) of 44ms. Our population is ~5M. This only spells great things for the tech prospects

Not specific to devs, but I do highly recommend the documentary Startup.com – it's a rollercoaster ride of the highs and lows of that era. Free to view on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibuiUXOTE4M
