Wow, this is wildly refreshing. Definitely more interesting and fun than any crud bullshit I do every day.

I use scholar.google.com and search for topics I am interested in. If you have access to IEEE or ACM publications then even better. Or I download books as pdfs and read those instead of scrolling hacker news ;)

I am taking a crack (again) at creating vim bindings in Javascript for HTML textarea inputs.

Please don't make me write uppercase keywords. They make my eyes bleed and hurt my hands. Why not let the syntax highlighter do the heavy lifting for you? Dress your keywords with mauve or a nice butterscotch. Don't shout at the d

CTEs would be such a blessing. I am stuck using mysql 5.6. So many queries would just get simpler.

Downloaded it this morning on my work machine and it worked like a dream. Multiline mode and vim bindings were the chefs kiss that brought it all together.

I touch type between 60-70 wpm. When I practice using source code it drops to 30. However, the most important thing I have done for my editing speed is learning vim. Vim is a cheat code in programming. The learning curve is steep. Once I go

It's honestly relieving to read all these stories because I feel like I am in the middle of this right now. Our legacy product is a mishmash of perl and php that was probably started in the early 2000s. Which I wouldn't feel bad a

This is the exact boat I am in. I always say the best thing about our codebase is the worst thing: junior developers can do whatever they want.

tmux + ssh multiplexing has been a big time saver for me. I have a single script that I run when I open my terminal and I have an entire dashboard to manage my dev environment. Now I just need to figure out copy and paste in tmux lol.

I love Oklahoma. Wholesome, hardworking people in a beautiful state. My favorite drive is through Sand Springs to Cleveland and Skiatook. You wind through Keystone Lake and the Arkansas River. So peaceful and pretty.

I left the trades for programming. Your body can't maintain that type of work unless you stay fit. Then there is the risk of injuries which is inevitable. Working on concrete is hard on your knees, hips and back. You eventually have to

I am in a similar boat. Starting a masters in cs in the fall. What resources are you using to study? I have neem doing some refreshing on Khan Academy but looking for other options.

Definitely one of my favorites. It helped me level up when I was learning Javascript but also helped me understand how to be a better programmer.

They really have thought of everything! I wonder what it would be like to work on a codebase for 20+ years. Richard Hipp must be dreaming in C by now. I have listened to several interviews with him recently and he seems so unencumbered in h

Such a fun way to introduce cryptography. My mind was blown this summer when I took a discrete math course this summer. Using math to encrypt and decrypt data is elegant and pure.

What a cool way to capture your interests! A small library of links to come back to and cherish. This is what makes the web great. You can just stand up your website and share and link as much as you please. Well done!

>> There’s a lot of reading material out there. For the basics, I still recommend that students purchase K&R. Has anyone read K&R and regretted it? I am working through all the exercises and have really enjoyed the process.

Referential integrity saves you so many headaches. I am dealing with a 500+ table database with no foreign keys at all. This has allowed so many problems to creep in. Writing queries is pure suffering.
