Amen to that. My eyesight isn't the best, and Ebooks are a god send for being able to read in large, clear print. I'm reading a paper book now (Fortress Draconis, ebook is not available) and I find myself squinting for hours at a

JobRudder is an ASP.NET/Sql Server app running in the cloud. It works and it works really well (tooling between visual studio and azure is amazing). [1] https://jobrudder.com

I'm with you there man (or lady)...the pace of "new and shiny" is exhausting. One of the things I like about our environment is that we're always disrupting ourselves (maybe a little too much). So while it's true th

I'm not sure how I feel about this. What has worked for me is embracing change. Requirements will change, third party integrations will change, front end frameworks, use cases, service providers etc. Everything will change so write (re

This. Too many people are sure of too many things. Too sure of religion, political ideology, techno purity. Too sure of the absence (or presence) of the many -isms that plague us. HN is a perfect example. At least i think so. I'm not s

Does Java not have a good Micro ORMs (like Dapper, NPoco on the .Net side)? They can be a wonderful middle ground between completely custom sql and a full blown giant like Hibernate.

This is good advice. I remember getting physical results for SSCE and NECO exams and I would gladly have paid the $2. I'll also add that the startups in the US/Europe can provide sample problem/solution combinations for you.

I don't see Azure anywhere on this list (in any categories). It's only mentioned in the context of other services. I use the free tier of multiple Azure services for my tiny side project [1] [1] https://jobrudder.com

I just picked up an Amplifi HD router a few days ago. So far so good. Great speeds and really nice hardware. The app and hardware touchscreen are really simple and usable. They're missing a few pro settings/configs though.

I'm happy to take a look as well (no payment needed). Email in profile.

This is a valid question. 32GB is more than enough for my needs today. It doesn't hurt to be able to upgrade though.

Key Vault is an MS service for sure, but you can use it for anything as it has rest api. It's not as friendly as drobox/slack but it's far more secure.

Are these passwords for individual use (in SaaS apps for example) or are they passwords to enterprise assets (databases, document stores etc). I've used Azure Key Vault quite a bit and it might be a good solution to the latter scenario

Thank you for giving JobRudder a try (and for the kind words). I'm (obviously) a big believer in achievement/accomplishment tracking. I think it's the best thing anyone can do for their career, outside of the work itself (and

I've also been looking for a replacement to an aging ThinkPad. My favorite option right now is the fashionably boring p50 from Lenovo. It's heavy and ugly. But you can get it with Xeon processor, multi TB drives and 64GB RAM. Swoo

Thank you. I wish JobRudder could help your use case. I don't know enough about getting ahead (what it takes to get more contracts, higher fees etc) as an independent contractor, but i'm very much willing to learn if you'd li

I've been on both ends of the performance appraisal spectrum; from ultra formal annual appraisals to nada. Each and every time, the biggest predictor of a successful outcome was how well I was prepared. If i could articulate in a concr

That's fair. Thank you for the feedback and possible interest. I've tried many varying levels of information (just a few weeks ago we had multiple large screenshots and more text) and the feedback is always a bit mixed (between th

I hope this "trickles down" to medical applications fairly soon. I have awful night vision, and a pair of normal looking night vision glasses would be just the thing.

I'm a huge fan of the "single source of truth" approach. The actual content (achievements, skills, education, past projects) should be "data" and we should be able to generate the snazzy timelines, pretty resumes (t

This looks good (i like the drag and drop mechanic). I've spent a lot of time exploring and building career tools [1], and my observation so far has been that "formatting and style" isn't the main problem with resumes. S
