I had to integrate Azure Pipelines and wanted to shoot myself in the face. The idea that you are simply configuring a pipeline yaml is just one big lie; it's code, in the world's shittiest programming language using YML syntax - c

I do have a bias against front end development being from my perspective quite a mess, in the same way that physical scientists often look at the social sciences, though the social sciences are still quite important. But for what it's

Plenty of discussion has been had around incentives and I agree with all that, but also there's another angle here: aside from dark patterns, I think the problems of terrible front-end experiences are most prevalent in the middle of th

I was a little underwhelmed by Tarkovsky's take on Solaris; the book was written with a lot more evocative prose, especially with respect to color, which made the film seem just so plain. But I really liked Stalker - then again I hadn&

One small error (I think) - I noticed your link to pathfinder linked to someone's 2020 fork of the repository rather than the upstream servo repository.

Every time I am unfortunate enough to do something front-end it's just as bad as I remember. Edit: professionally, that is; when I do front-end related stuff for myself, it's fine, but they are small and I keep things simple - van

I was thinking the same thing as I was reading. Seems like feedback lag while drawing brush strokes would be frustrating for an artist. But then again, we have examples of surprisingly good response time in the game streaming world.

Motivation from within is the strongest, and requires that work be aligned with personal goals, either in developing skills or making something happen. In these conditions, I've found that I'm at my most productive no matter where

How much of this is specific to Kubernetes and how much is more accurately because you moved from managing your own VM infrastructure to using managed services? Cloud providers have (often long had) ways of saying "run this code"

My experience is that the support is shit. Azure has good parts but if the grass isn't greener elsewhere then I weep for the state of the field.

I originally read this as question of whether any startups are hiring that are "solving for software engineering" and was very confused.

The right answer to this, as usual, is probably somewhere in the middle. Perspectives like this are pessimistic, but important because the industry has age bias and yet we need to understand where technology might be going full circle. But

Specifically, performance optimizations and reliability improvements. More generally, applying my most unique and valuable skill set compared to the people I work with and advocating for good design decisions toward those ends.

I think you've been a role model in how to build and maintain a popular software project while keeping the spirit of FOSS and promoting a positive community around it. I look forward to seeing what you get up to next.

Fuck anyone callous enough to take something as far as an onsite trip with the pretense of a job and then just ghost them. I can't think of a much clearer way to show that much disrespect of someone and their time. And that's just

A capitalist blames a lack of demand for the deep socioeconomic flaws that disasters like this shine an ugly light on. By his logic, if people wanted these things, capitalists would be able to make a ton of money off of them, and so it&#x27

How timely. I found this series after watching The Ascent of Man, which I found after watching Cosmos. Highly recommend all three, especially the Ascent of Man. James Burke has a way of conveying a sort of fundamental optimism about society

"Why? Because coding a percentage in COBOL would take an estimated five months." Five months to code a percentage, or five months to add the calculation, integrate that data point with other systems (does this need to be shown as

Sounds nice. And idealistic. The reality is at this point the newer is often not much better, or may be just a step sideways rather than forward, and therefore does not replace anything, but rather siphons off a portion of the investment in

Problem is the video card performance is absolute garbage on that thing. Somehow seeming to perform even worse than a prior model I had.

You may have, but I've never met such a person, and that's a false equivalence. And it is not really ironic; when you use an inflammatory term especially in a headline, you use it knowing what the term evokes and it's a clear

I'm well aware of the problems people like antirez face from others who deem themselves the moral/language internet police, and it is definitely an ongoing problem, but none of this is limited to the tech community, and I'm n

Using the term SJW alone destroys the credibility of any substantial claim using it. If you really want to persuade people, find a term that isn’t mainly employed as incendiary jargon of far-right ideology to categorically dismiss anyone le
