I wrote some code with an IMAP lib. Wasn't too happy with out of the box things. The smaller Deepseek models are most interesting for self hosting LLM's at the moment. Impressive! Many other ML Things need a lot less compute, thou

The standup questions are awkward motivation killers. The people that look good in those meetings are usually just pandering. I'm convinced standups have stuck around because they make managers feel like they're adding value. If p

It seems to me that this is the risk you take when you create an unofficial add-on to any product. I've helped reverse engineer vehicle ECU's to reprogram the fuel injection, turbo pressure, and spark timing systems. But, we would

Unity's just outgrowing the early adopters. The starving indies will move on to the next up and coming engine. Professionals will continue using Unity (and UE, which also charges royalties) because of the breadth and depth of the tools

I'll have to try this! I have reflux or heartburn daily if I don't do things right. A few things help me. 1) Don't have an empty stomach. My stomach goes crazy. 2) Don't overeat. Large portions cause it nearly every time

Yeah this is my experience as well. You can share a ton of code if you think about it up front. But the UI is not worth it. So different.

React Native. TypeScript. NestJS backend, NextJS frontend. The ability to easily share code across the full stack is underrated. Of course you need someone that thinks at that high level building it.

The biggest confidence boost as a new programmer was the first time I wrote some software on my own, other people used it, it worked, and they liked it. This happened within about a year of starting out. I suggest everyone try to build prod

Housing is not a right in the US. It's a for-profit endeavor. Unless that fundamental thing changes expect rents to go up as much as the market will bear and landlords to do everything to make as much profit as possible. Side note: I d

I feel the same way when I'm in a position like that. It's why I gravitate toward small pre product market fit startups as either one of the first employees or founder. There is only process where I make process and everyone is ex

I'm definitely a hacker/artist type vs engineer. I like shipping things, stumbling around, finding a path, not planning them out and executing that plan. By the time I've planned something I have to use all of my available ex

Ship stuff. Build something, anything, and put it in the wild. Make it open source. Repeat. Startups will hire you.

Nest is impressive. Especially if you came from .Net or Java. I just started a new project with Nest recently and it was a breath of fresh air. It has all the bits I had to add manually to other Node projects in the past. I feel like they g

This is a cool project. One of my pet ideas that I haven't done is to build a home assistant where all data is stored and processed by a home "server". The biggest benefit I see is that it could truly be omnipresent. There in

A bigger concern for me is the charging speed/infrastructure for what an F250/350 might want to do. For me, that's tow a 5th wheel or trailer a UTV for hundreds of miles. Need better infrastructure and much higher voltage pac

This is highly dependent on how you drive, elevation changes, weather conditions, load/trailer weight/aerodynamics, and average speeds. So... I've seen both better than EPA ratings and worse than EPA ratings. It's rated

Can confirm. I have an F-150 Lightning. The UI sucks and is slow. Much worse than my Teslas. It takes like 30 seconds when I get in the truck and turn it on before it's even usable. Switching between CarPlay and the native interface is

That's a nice approach! The chain of libraries to update is usually the hardest part for me, especially something like that react-navigation jump. That one sucked. Of course, you often have to update RN to support the latest OS version
