That’s certainly one way to live life, although certainly not the only way. Many people use tech as a path to financial independence. There’s a running joke/groan that the FIRE sub is filled with software engineers making 6 figures.

I both like to code but am lazy enough to hate the monotony of doing the same thing over and over. While I do use AI regularly, I also use an extensive collection of code generators that are deterministic that help me skip past the boring p

My wife went completed the Google UX Cert on a faster schedule (couple months I think) and she really enjoyed it. She did a lot of searching and looked at university/college online programs in UI/UX and even signed up for one, but

I met my wife on a dating app, and we would have 100% never met without it. She is from Central America and happened to be visiting the US for a month. We went on a date, and then two and then three. Her one month stay turned into a five mo

I’ve been using Octal for multiple years and really like it. I am primarily a reader, rarely a poster, and it seems to do the job well enough.

See my other comment above, but I was able to share basically everything that was not UI code. Types, request hooks, utils, configs/constants. Probably about 60% of the app, and you wouldn’t want to share UI code anyway because web and

8 hours of sleep minimum. No drinking or smoking. Exercise regularly. Be content with what I have. Enjoy the little things in life, laugh at life’s absurdities.

My favorite part of Reddit mobile on iOS is that when it prompts you to view in app, it redirects to the App Store, even though I have the app installed! Then when I open the app it doesn’t preserve the page I was trying to get to. So it do

Id like a system where people can submit dash cam footage of dangerous drivers or people doing illegal things, and if the person gets a ticket you get some percentage of the fine. Like what they did in NYC with people blocking bike lanes.

The downside of take home assessments is that anyone can do it. You could hand off the assignment to a friend, or even hire someone to do it. So figure 1 hour for the take home + 1 hour for an additional interview where we ask questions abo

Why would you not have a design system that represents all of the Figma components, so that there is a direct 1-to-1 mapping from a Figma component to a code component? That’s like 80% of the purpose of Figma, to use the components to align

I really like the design of my 2022 Subaru Forester. The steering wheel has knobs to adjust volume and skip songs, as well as cruise control. Changing the temperature is just changing a knob, and it seems most of the key functionalities are

The WFH that came from Covid is probably the best thing that could’ve happened to my wife and I. I’m 10x happier and 10x more productive. I could never imagine going back to an office 5 days a week. That would be torture. I’ve lived in 5 di

Id argue the static typing is great, and the best part of Java that is otherwise ruined by OOP. Give me the types and leave out all the OOP factory garbage, and you are left with the best parts. That’s what typescript ends up being.

The janky enterprise “security” software that runs at 100% cpu constantly and is the number 1 reason the laptop fan spins up. AKA spyware. I’ve got the keys to production databases but for some reason can’t be trusted to update my computer
