I can't take this article seriously when it refers to Next but then calls it Nest 15 times.

The frontend tooling debacle has got to the point where I'm not only leaving frontend development, but tech entirely. To not have to think about this endless nonsense anymore is such a massive weight off my shoulders.

If you open the image modals, and then click next, I see a blurred screen and cannot progress forward/back. react-dom.production.min.js:209 TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'indexOf') at _l.render (

There is no risk if you're genuinely running a small business. If you're a permalancer, coining a freelance rate whilst paying very little tax (no PAYE), then you _should_ be caught out. You _should_ have the liability.

Probably. The people who use professional quality studio microphones to send heavily compressed audio over Microsoft Teams also confuse me greatly.

I think it can only help. Employability aside, you might even enjoy doing them! The AWS certs aren't to be sniffed at, even if your experience after completing it is only theoretical (better than nothing).

I would say the skills are largely transferrable as the product offerings are analogous in many cases.

The idea that Fortune 500 CEO's are cold-emailing companies to ask about assistance in re-platforming VM's is plainly ridiculous. Leadership taking a strategic decision to shop around for options following the VMWare price increas

I must be stupid because I understood very little of this. The cynic in me says it sounds a lot like pseudo-intellectual-babble, but maybe I'm wrong. I can pick out so many parts that seem to be an extremely odd take on things, but thi

Contracted for a few years. Almost zero expenses (a new laptop, an accountant, some PL insurance).

Most (all) the contractors I know can bill £500 per day outside IR35 pretty much indefinitely.

I mean this in the nicest way possible, but it's easy to say money isn't everything when you're already earning £120k/$140k pa.

This isn't true. Many successful, profitable businesses were started by just surveying the landscape and being better/different to something pre-existing.

At least I know within 3 seconds that I can't afford to apply, rather than investing hours to realise I've wasted my time.

Surprisingly low salaries for a major bank. £35k for a London-based SRE?

Would be great to have a single table that shows supported services vs. tiers. At the moment I have to scroll through 8,000 services AND their features to try and decipher if I'll need a paid plan right from the start.

I was actually going for the opposite - but that's my fault. What I meant was wishy-washy "guidelines" are often ignored or considered optional. Put in place tooling (rulesets) and processes that make it very difficult to arc

The utopia described isn't real in the enterprise, and my experience of 15 years working as a Software Engineer is that 90% of engineers are really good at coding, but pretty terrible at systems architecture - often taking the path of

Too much emphasis is put on organised exercise. I think it's an American thing, where nobody seems to walk anywhere. Better advice is to build more functional "exercise" into your day-to-day life. This is where real lifestyle

I never really understood this. Unsure of the US, but holiday lets are notorious for being poor investments in Europe (just look at the markets in Greece and Spain). $100k buys you quite a lot of long-term lets (rentals) over the next 20 ye
