Good on you. I've always thought that the preparedness of employees to boot seniors out of their booked meeting rooms was a bellwether of good corporate culture. Places that values everyone's time and leaders follow process by exa

Ok I'll bite. If management discover that you knew about the wastage, and did nothing, then it can be said that you aren't acting in the best interest of the company. Possibly the opposite, meaning you'd be fired. So there&#x

I love Django but think this is a pretty sensible stack for a single developer who is strong at JS. You are still going to have to make a lot of correct library decisions to implement key features like auth and a DAL. Nest JS is an interest

Yeah despite being an interesting post about Scala, I came for the harrowing tale of a big deployment gone wrong. Downtime, angry customers, seat of the pants debugging and straight to prod gambles to save a sinking ship. Instead, a smug ta

The examples of strong opinions are really poor in the article. The one you've quoted isn't an opinion at all - nobody would prefer a nuisance over collaborative scheduling! It's a shame because I do agree with the premise. O

Mine has a 'Staff Only' badge on the door that I got at the hardware store. It gets a few laughs from visitors to our home.

Months 12-24 is commonly a sweet spot IMO. A year is often enough to understand the domain and problem space well and be empowered to enact complex changes. It might taper off then a bit for some as they get bored or burn out, but a 2+ year

That's a nice explanation. If I were him I'd ask why not just print the spikes at the vaccine factory and inject them? TBH I'm not sure if it's easier/cheaper to use the 3D-printers in our cells, or its more about a

I read thinking it is was just RNA molecules in the test tubes, but they added ribosomes (protein-based enzyme translation machinery) to the mix. You could think of ribosomes and other cellular proteins as the system hardware and DNA/R

I agree with you in the sense that I only want to work places that recognize and value great code. But everywhere has code that stinks. And it's hard to find people with the skills and experience to get rid if it. Before it can be gott

I switched from dropbox to mega years ago when the former removed Linux support. TIL mega have version support so I need to enable that and try it out. First thing I do on a new device is setup my mega shared drives - and there is a lot of

As a small dev team we have a workflow to rapidly author tests integrating our internal and external graphql + rest APIs. These tests can be run, tweaked and parameterized in various environments from the GUI, and then imported into our CI

Thanks for that. For me there's a trade-off, depending on how often I setup a new machine. Value of automating with a procedural script vs taking the opportunity to try a leaner (or more modern) toolchain. Currently upgrade about every

That sounds really neat is it some thing you can share? I recently setup a new machine which didn't take very long, but I have run into a few things I forget so would like to set up something similar.

Thank you! I agree with so much in this, it really strikes the right balance of clean code vs productivity. One of my peeves is a review that points out a bug/incorrectness without offering proof, or suggesting the fix/correct way

I was surprised there was no mention of whitelisting. If I know the queries that client apps are going to be running it would be useful to lock the API down to those. It sacrifices flexibility, but if you control apps and server, e.g. a st

This very good practice and I am pleased that the one time I got the dreaded message from GitHub and AWS, that I'd done the unthinkable (on a public repo), the keys were only for accessing a single junk dev S3 bucket - phew! But no amo

Should these be anti-patterns? Perhaps calling something an anti-pattern is also a confusing way to explain things, or maybe that term has gone out of style now.

I can also recommend serverless.com framework for local development and running lambdas offline. AWS provides a docker image for emulating DynamoDB which works great for local dev and will commonly be paired with lambdas. Another option I h

Nice. I liked the trick in the article, but was wondering if it might confuse the next admin who needs to figure it out. Was also thinking of customising the login greeting to mention the file (/etc/motd).

Thanks for the Kary Mullis story. I performed thousands of PCRs and even made some batches of taq many years ago but never knew about its ideation! I knew some pretty out there biochemists though.
