I don't agree with this advice at all. Do the work you're paid to do - no more, and no less. In my experience, working extra doesn't actually get you more respect from an employer. Often times, it's the opposite. Back wh

GP is referring to "NOKLA" phones[1][2]. The "L" is intentionally lower-cased to make it look like a capital "I." [1] https://www.engadget.com/2009-04-01-keepin-it-real-fake-part... [2] https:

I've been working on an app to help VvEs* in the Netherlands self-manage. For about a year, I was trying to get our VvE management company* to take care of major issues we have in our building's crawl space. We had an inspection d

Just to make sure I'm not missing anything: All of that essentially only applies to user/untrusted input, right? i.e. if I have a static website with inline CSS (or JS), there's no security concern. In that case, I'm not

Definitely. I'm American and I've lived in the Netherlands for the past three years. The difference is night and day. Whenever I visit, I switch to my US SIM card and am immediately bombarded with spam texts (mostly from political

This is mentioned in the article. The problem is that based on my experience, most JS devs have never heard of it, and I've personally never heard of it being used anywhere.

I'm building a gamified habit tracker, similar to Habitica[1], but simplified in some ways, and with offline support. My biggest issues with Habitica are their lack of offline support (even on mobile), and their extremely downtime-pron

I played with this a bit years ago when it was still called PostgraphQL. My biggest issue with it was that there didn't seem to be a recommended (or even suggested) version control method for things like functions. Using a standard mig

I was considering getting YouTube Premium, but then I realized that it wouldn't work while incognito. I very often open videos in private tabs so it doesn't destroy my recommendations, so I'd still need an adblocker.

I hate it as well, but here's my best guess as to why change it is unlikely: Most of their revenue probably comes from companies, which virtually always issue company emails for their employees. In that case, you'd still have th
