I recently tried out Task Warrior for tasks and this is why I switched back to Obsidian + DataView. Forgetting to check TW is the big reason it didn't work, but the secondary reason is that I take a lot dev logs on context and the `ann

It's been a while since I've used Logseq, but IIRC you can use yaml front matter. The very first block in the page is special and if you enter YAML there, the underlying markdown will have that yaml block without any bullet points

I had recruiter pull that in my most recent job search. Has to stick "C#/..." in front of everything because they didn't understand that ASP.NET, WPF, WCF, WinForms and several other C#-specific tech had anything to do w

My previous job used GitLab. I agree that it's less polished and more clunky, at least for the overlap of features it shares with GitHub. (Mostly code hosting and collaboration m.) I think where it shines is as a DevOps platform. I&#x2

Several years ago, at my previous job, I worked on a short-lived project in Moodle. It came to me because I had some PHP experience, a decade prior and no one else had any. I hooked it up to our auth and got it running in Docker. The projec

In case you haven't seen it already, JetBrains also makes a C# IDE called Rider [0]. Personally, I find the JetBrains IDEs overly complicated. More so than Visual Studio, but that may be familiarity. (Also, I use VSCode for .NET these

It's not even new. I've been doing this professionally for 15 years, and the "web development isn't real development" was a common attitude at least since I started. If anything, it was worse.

I've been searching for about 2 months (laid off early February), and I've not had a lot of luck. Lots of recruiter calls. Several phone screens. A handful of post-phone-screen Round 1 interviews, but no Round 2. One company reach

Has this been working for you? At times, I've had panic mode set in and _feel_ like I need to apply to every little job that looks remotely decent, but I don't know if that's _actually_ helping.

Is the coding question that is representative of the work you do at your company, and that you expect candidates to have done? Or is it a toy, "write a function that does X" question? "ChatGPT solves easily" suggests to

Making medical software that people actually want to use is impressive. I just applied for the Senior Software Engineer role via the Greenhouse link. Looking forward to speaking with you!

I posted last month and didn't hear anything from it. I'm hoping this month is more fruitful.

I'm not sure I could go back to in-office work, but also moving cross country isn't even feasible for me at this stage in my life, even if I wanted to.

It's surprising how many developers won't even bother to read an error message. At my list gig there were a few folks who would regularly message me anytime there was a failure in their CI pipeline. No reading the message. Possibl

There can also be a lot of what I'll call "political inertia" involved. In my experience, the existing process has a way of appearing invisible such that any change will feel like more work, even when it isn't. It's

It consumes a fair amount of resources just idling. I'm currently using a laptop that was mid-to-low spec when I got it a couple years ago. It was chugging, especially during video calls. Uninstalling the Widgets feature was enough to

I would also like to know these things. This sounds like a type of interview that respects my time, which makes me think there is a good chance the company as a whole will respect my time and humanity as well.

I'm not sure I would caution against AsciiDoc, but I stopped using it personally due to lack of support, and Markdown (of various flavors) being good enough for the use cases I cared about at the time. There isn't much tooling. Th
