You can have more than one platform team. I think reality is more complicated than a one size fits all approach. It's going to be specific to your org, your project, the stage it's at etc. To add to that, the right thing to do is

Hahah. Reminds me of the time I used to work at a place where the software's demo company was called ISIS and that didn't used to be a big deal until ISIS itself became a thing. Part of our solution contained a web-portal we could

sounds like the beginnings of either burnout, depression or both. I'm in a job that's not quite demanding enough at the moment and it caused me to fall into a depression. It's good to catch it in time to do something about it

Same here. I would add if you experience what the OP does combined with looking around the house every day and seeing piles of unfolded washing and dirty dishes waiting for you that fill you with existential dread every time you look at the

I use containers in production and for local development dependencies but for exactly these reasons I run the application locally via the IDE like I always have, with the option to run it locally via Docker for the times I need to dip into

My previous team lead hated JIRA and would frequently rail on it during our agile ceremonies. Me who likes coming up acronyms would refer to it as that "Janky Irritating React App" during our ceremonies as a result. Good times.

I like how the arguments used to import the database need to match the arguments used to export the database. I can recall on two separate occasions receiving a database dump from a client site that took us two weeks to figure out how to su

Buefy is my favorite. Most productive I've ever felt on frontend. But it is a little limited compared to most other component libraries, so YMMV but I really love it.

Never really thought of computers as needing convincing but come to think of it it takes about as many tries to convince my computer to do want I want as it takes to convince my son. Hmm..

Interesting. I knew most of that more or less but didn't know the mechanism by which the myelin sheath speed up the propagation of action potentials but it makes sense.

Does C# rely on VS? MSBuild is separate from VS and you can use Rider (yay!) or VSCode instead of VS. The ecosystem is definitely growing in the last 5 years too since open source has been embraced by MS and the community. The major rewrite

Which im sure some poor soul will mishear as "Pussy-Slut Academy" once the names are reversed and Arkady is put into Katakana and it's late into a night of drinking at the mandatory after work drinks. Hahaha.

Kinda hard to have real democracy when you have dictators that just kill people they don't like. Want to stay as far away from that dynamic as possible. It's garbage and always will be.

Let's just go back to being ruled by kings and queens and having to do whatever job our last name is while we're at it.

You shoulda pasted it into image search. マンコ is pussy and ビッチ (bitch) is slut. So, it's like "nice to meet you, I'm pussy slut" and then handing someone a business card. I remember seeing it come up as example of unfortu

It's probably more non-Japanese would pronounce the /l/ so differently that it would change the way the name sounds enough to be jarring to the individual who bears the name. That'd be a straight pain in the ass.

Well can't be worse than Russians with a surname of Mankovich having to introduce themselves in Japan as マンコビッチ

A lot of people go this route. And this is a bloody neat tool to help you do so! We chose not to though with our son though, since the list of names that works in both is small and largely unappealing. The list of names for girls is quite a

>Money is worthless once you've bought everything you want. Not true, for what some people want is power and they continuously dish out money to get it. It's often used as a vector to create a lot of the world's problems.

Not really. It's both fluid and crystalized intelligence that are required. The better you can pattern match the faster you will be able to acquire crystalized intelligence by being able to connect the dots and you'll likely be ab

Well... There is fluid intelligence and crystalized intelligence. What you're pointing out is that crystalized intelligence is what matters. Fluid intelligence mediates the ability to gain crystalized intelligence. Higher IQ in theory

Place boundaries are much easier for me for the same reasons. Turns out it's really just different strokes for different folks and everyone's inner world operates in a way that they absolutely require certain things and absolutely
