The biggest barrier is finding customers.

A lot of the friction mentioned in the article revolves around tooling. Anyone with more that a few days in an engineering org will witness this. What is not mentioned is human friction. Over simplifying but an engineers job is to write cod

> And it's also a bit inconvenient that nobody else at work has such pressing obligations, it makes me feel bad... I hope your peers ambivalence (educated guess here) towards your other responsibilities make your priorities obvious.

I had a lot of success early on with a community of practice I started inside an engineering org but as time went on it morphed into a something different: A place to assign work outside an engineers day to day. I suppose thats a function o

While maybe it does sum up our work culture it shouldn't influence how you work. Rarely have I seen someone who "runs faster" be more valued (monetarily or among senior peers) than someone who churns out quality and runs &quo

I like this question. Do we then base the penalties purely on pain suffered by the scammed?

Our bias really comes out when we write doesn't it? "I'm super smart and have good posture - hey look at this hunched over Neanderthal! And they're staring at a rock! Idiot" Bias being those with bad posture and an

Rounded corners really were all the rage for a while and we needed support for it! I remember in the early days cobbling together elements with top-left, top-right, etc image slices. Want't really too long ago.. maybe 10 years?

Why are you assuming that our grandparents are pushing the narrative? Money / greed doesn't care about your age group.

It doesn't just stop at college tho. After college, you can obtain a ruinous loan for just about anything. At least with a ruinous college loan you should be able to "come out ahead" at some point. Ruinous home loan? Generall

Interesting. I would have lumped them all together. Why do you trust reviews on Target but not Amazon?

I think as long as you think (know?) this is true the easier it makes dealing with work stress. "It has to get done or else" is so common in my place it falls on deaf ears with most the devs. At my place, I think its more CYA than

I have a 40 something friend who started working there a few years a go. He has a family. He mostly went for stability, good pay, good benefits, predictable long term outlook. Not working insane hours. He loves it. Actually said he feels va

This is intriguing (and new to me). Can you point me to something you enjoy that I can look at? Not even sure what to search...

Definitely. I bought tick tubes which target the mice. I've had one on me since putting them out in late April. I think they're working but need more time to test.

My experience with ticks: Closer to the home is where you're going to find the small ones. I've had two on me. First one was easy to spot it looked like a freckle on my knee. The second one I felt the bite (thought it was an itch)

> But I don't think the issue was so much a dark ages problem that nobody understood what we were doing This is the answer. Most of us are in the weeds throwing darts.

I understand. Maybe the space will only truly realize its potential after the hype dies down. With coins so volatile probably wont happen anytime soon.

You seem to think digital authenticity is not important. I'm on the fence but I think its too early to conclude. I didn't grow up in a virtual world but maybe to those who did the idea of digital authenticity is all that matters.

Same, but I don't get too much from it. If its not there I really don't care anymore and never ask for it. Whats the point of showcasing your github profile today? Little to no experience (entry level / jr) makes sense but fo

"stars", at least from my perspective, doesn't map to usage. I've stared plenty of projects I don't use. I like the latter two metrics - thank you for sharing!

I've essentially made my career with CSS. I've been hired solely because of my CSS skills. I am continually surprised when I interview engineers proficient in Angular / React / JS but they cannot even do a basic full pag

I have an M1 and I love it. Sure, there were some early issues like chrome crashing all the time and some packages not working but I haven't run into any issues as of late.

Yep, totally agree. Writing quality code is always on my mind but when something needs to be delivered yesterday what are you going to do? Options are: delay the release or release it with the crap we wrote
