I think it depends on your company rather than saying "most". If you are in a software company (i.e. you sell the software you write), then your value is the unique IP you create from writing code. In that case, hopefully a large

I have delivered successfully projects using Scrum, but we were fortunate that our Scrum Master was well trained and a senior engineer. Our CTO also let us figure things out, and helped us when we were blocked. He was genuinely concerned

The documentation is pretty standard, it allows users of this typeface to build out a design system that scales.

As a parent, I'm hoping this will reduce the at-home workloads and shift more work towards school. What's the real life value of having students go to school and then spend all-nighters trying to do homework and all the expected

I wish HN had a central thread feature for discussing oft-debated topics like TDD, microservices, and agile. This way, we could contribute to the conversation instead of constantly rehashing the same points through new posts.

I was genuinely interested in OP's question and was hoping responses would not fallback on the much-already discussed "TDD or not" topic.

This is great! I messed up my ankle when I began taking transit and walking to the office in a pair of terrible dress hoes.

Maybe then question then is how does one get every developer to design and build modules as you have prescribed? (Recognizing different talent levels across the industry / delivery deadlines). Genuinely curious to know a scalable solut

Be curious to know if anyone who has trademark legal knowledge can answer this question. Since the word Impossible is common, as far as I can gather, if it is for a different industry you indeed could use it? edit: typo

If you are writing code by yourself and your code base is relatively small, then I agree it's hard to see the benefits at first. If your team and code base grows, one of the first things you'll notice is a lot of time wasted tryin

I think it's a business problem rather than a technical one, how do I get people to even know my website exists? Google Maps, Facebook pages, Instagram are your immediate choices.

Huge fan of Screenhero back in the day so I'm happy this is back and you have full control over pop.com's future.

One challenge I had with the opening statistics in the post is that it treats all books being equal in writing quality and market demand. Just because I write a book, doesn't entitle it to be bought.

I don't doubt your technical skills, this comment is just to help you see the side of the employer. They don't have time to onboard someone on AWS, they need someone to be able to speak "AWS" out of the gate and contrib

At the end of the day, those that get hired because of their certificate can't actually take up budget resources and not be able to expertly talk about HA architecture and deliver on a technical roadmap. You can't hide behind a c

I disagree. I've worked with two groups of professionals, those that have certification and those that say they "know" AWS or have working knowledge or experience. It's quite painful to work with the latter when you dep

If you are building software in a paid capacity then yes it's a small price to pay. But if you aren't getting paid or getting paid somewhat decently (e.g. study, hobby, open-source) then it's a lot. It's great they have

I think the fairer comparison is with Visual Studio 2019, not Visual Studio Code. Visual Studio Code is free, making it highly attractive for a larger audience. The pricing for IntelliJ is not accessible: https://www.jetbrains.c

I found JSON:API to be a great starting point, especially for small teams that want to get started right away. You can either adopt it or use it as a guideline for all the topics you need to consider. https://jsonapi.org/for

I find drawing abstract ideas helps make them concrete. It's slow at first, but with repetition it becomes easier.

Thanks for sharing this, not easy to admit. In retrospect what would you have done differently though?

The idea itself is sound, having an agreed specification allows others to build tools around this specification. (i.e. auto-generation, integration). In theory, this makes development easier. OpenAPI achieved this and is now widely used in

From a support engineer perspective, I found severity levels very helpful. PagerDuty describes it well here: https://response.pagerduty.com/before/severity_levels/ From a developer perspective, I've had a ha
