We just build and test everything every time. Maybe it costs us more $$$ on CI, but it costs far less in developer time. That being said, I mostly work at startups and larger companies will certainly cross a threshold where this isn't

People on the web take the risk of being misinformed, clicking or not.

I have a good manager right now. If that person hasn't had a good manager ever, then it might be one of those cases "if it smells like shit everywhere you go, check your own shoe".

I'm a senior dev who could cross over if I wanted to, but when I see what the managers are doing on a day-to-day basis I realize I'm perfectly happy doing what I'm doing and making pretty solid money while I'm at it.

You are looking to save yourself a week of time a year and then 3 years later for some reason or another you will HAVE to upgrade and good luck making that change when the world has moved past you.

Same experience as you. Thought I would always use sublime but my coworkers were so adamant about VSCode that I finally gave it a try. I don't even know that I can point to any single reason for it being better than Sublime -- feels li

> to do some trivial UI work on the front-end If that takes you forever, consider that it may also be your lack of familiarity as much as the lack of type system/compiler. Despite my preference for the back end, I have spent plenty

Thanks for sharing! Someone in my social circle recently fell victim to a phishing attack. I had similar thoughts that you really need to prevent the email from getting through in the first place. Success for phishing is all about the weake

> The hundred billion dollar question is where will people alternately socialize online? It's a good question. Personally, I got rid of Facebook and didn't feel like I needed a replacement. I do use Instagram and Snapchat, but

Sadly both conservatives and liberals are blind to their own hypocrisy. This kind of shit goes on at both ends of the spectrum unfortunately.

6 years ago I was wondering how anyone gets burnt out from getting to program for a living. How naive I was :)

My team deploys probably 5 times in a given day, including Friday. They are all small deploys, and none can happen at the end of the day. If shit hits the fan, we rollback and maybe people figure out the root cause over the weekend but they

I feel like you're essentially saying the same thing I did, just worded differently?

I had a plumber over for some fixes about a month ago, and he saw me doing some coding on my laptop. He made a comment like "I have absolutely no clue how any of that works... it is wizardry to me". I said "I'm watching

I agree with you whole-heartedly. My programming career has gone from "I don't know the best way to write something", to "I know the best way to write something and I'll do it this way every time", to "oft

My personal solution to defuse an argument with the wife is to stick out my tongue and say something stupid. Gets a laugh unless I'm REALLY in trouble, and then it's on to plan B.

I found a loophole to all this madness. I joined a company that was not remote-friendly, moved a couple hours away after about a year, and told them I'd be happy to continue working for them remotely. They obliged :)
