What was the diagnosis process like? I'm in my early 30s and have been putting off trying to get an ADHD diagnosis (and medication) even though the symptoms clearly resonate, because I'm concerned that I'll be dismissed as ju

I would highly highly recommend ETL as service, after adopting it recently. It substantially changes your relationship with your data sources in a really positive way. And frankly, ETL for common data sources is code that you just don'

The inefficiency you speak of is not inefficiency of code review, but rather the inefficiency of reaching a shared, deep agreement on what your code should look like and how it should work. Code review is just a place that it pops up. Think

Any particular sites/webapps you like as examples of hierarchical design? I am a tech lead and struggle to come up with anything better than Material Design's nav drawers with sub-items, or equivalent.

I build internal tools in my organization. Most of our developers are on MacOS and use Chrome day to day. Most of our users are on Windows. Whenever a browser specific issue comes up, we do our best to address it, but our first response is

I'm on Mac OS 10.11.6 (15G22010). The regression might be due to some interaction between Firefox and changes in the OS, if you're on a more recent version.

there are whole other approaches to the problem... which are extremely successful in practice, with real observational data sets. I'm going to echo my sibling commenter, would love to hear it if you have any pointers on where to star

Thanks to both of you for your time doing that discussion! @slap_shot and anyone else — I'm curious if you have thoughts on, or even have heard of the Ballerina language? It's a programming language for doing data integration work

No-install, no sign-in is amazing. Appear is one of the services I've referred people to the most, for just that reason. The main critique I have is their push to monetize as of late has been clumsily executed in my experience of the p

This completely squares with my experiences as well — a lot of instances of complaints about management are hollow because developers aren't managing upward correctly. Their followup on their issues is missing, or non-actionable. Do yo
