Boulder Colorado has a public airport bus route that is pretty widely used - it takes one hour and is well liked by the general public.

Same - my new team doesn’t do any scrum or story points and it’s an amazing breath of fresh air - don’t miss those days just yelling random numbers at the zoom call for hours. The truth is on most teams one or two people who are closest to

Virtual credit card numbers are a great way to combat this. For example, the Wall Street journal pricing is pretty wild (8 dollars a month for the first 3 months then jumps to much higher) so I use a virtual card which expires right before

In that setup, how do you write a test which acts against a mock version of your API client (a static function in your proposal?)

I got mine for health reasons (low back, must work lying down sometimes), and while for me it’s a really useful tool, I couldn’t see working in it full time. It’s just too bulky, leaves a dumb red mark on my face, has bugs where sometimes

Abstraction is a an abstract word, but as an example, I would consider the process of refactoring a big piece of code which mixed together api requests and view presentation into a 2 classes (a presenter, and an api client) as adding abstra

As an opposite view point I work on a 10 year old legacy iOS app which has almost no abstractions and it’s a huge mess. Most classes are many thousands of lines long and mix every concern together. We are fixing it up by refactoring - many

Climbing works great in jeans if they are a bit stretchy. Especially good for knee bars - almost as good as a knee pad and 1100% more stylish

America is a land of inequality. There are many people (poor) which have bad healthcare, but for many others (the wealthy, stably employed), healthcare is excellent. If you have a good job with a good PPO plan, this healthcare is just incr

FAANG jobs absolutely hire engineers over zoom. It’s not just one interview, but the whole process is done remotely over video. It typically includes somewhere between 5 to 10 sessions covering coding, architecture and behavioral. Source

At least in the USA one major piece of the college application is a standardized test - a concept very similar to a Leetcode interview.

Thin boned and uncoordinated? Rock climbing is your sport! Go to a local gym and try it for a few months and you might find yourself getting really good really fast

Swift enums support union types as well, and are also very useful.

I recently left town for 1 month and got the post office to hold my mail. It was all delivered in bulk when I came back. Out of the huge bundle of 100 mail pieces, there was only 1 piece of mail that was not trash - a renewed car registra

Actually coding is the domain of mid level and senior engineers. Staff engineers architect, design technical strategy, collaborate across teams. A proper staff engineer might only see code during review or a proof of concept.

That seems about as realistic as immediate dismissal from your job if you forget to unmute yourself on zoom.

As a converse view point, in my experience, in terms of huge methods and huge files / classes, its rare to see developers who have the mindset of "in general, I prefer small files and classes, but in this case, it makes sense to h

Being able to talk to the model has been awesome for my conversational Spanish. I’m holding conversations and getting live corrections on my grammar.

Swift allows you to program using “headers” - just have a protocol and an implementation, even in separate files if you want. This is a good pattern for some cases, like the public members of a package. However, I love that I don’t need to

SwiftUI exists to solve exactly this problem - the ui is declarative and state driven. However, its predecessor UIKit is mostly imperative and it takes a lot of manual code to keep the UI reflective of the underlying data model. For this r

I’m not sure I buy this - who is looking to max out their HELOC? Of course one good reason to do that is to buy another property, but of course, this again is a chicken or egg problem where no actual gain being made.

Curious - which individuals benefit from housing values rising? It seems like if you own a home, and it gets more expensive, you have more money on paper, but how do you benefit from that? If you sell your house and buy another, you wont

At least in the mobile world, I find that this “no abstraction” approach is the default one, and it usually leads to huge objects which do everything from drawing views to making network requests to interacting with the file system. These

Agreed. I’ve written plenty of software of all kinds and have never had to write a 2000 line long methods (although I have had the joy of refactoring such messeses a time or two). Just don’t do that. Your code doesn’t have to have abstrac

It’s interesting how different the experience is between Whole Foods and the bigger brand Safeway style stores. At Whole Foods there is no scale in the bagging area and you are free to put whatever you want there. The process is smooth and

On the other side, if you are privileged enough to be financially stable, in the USA it’s best to pay for every single thing with a credit card. Aside from the points and rewards, credit cards are much more likely to reverse fraud transacti

I feel like a common refactor in a large project might be a complete redefinition of a model layer exposed via a bunch of structs. How does immutability or patter matching save me from runtime errors caused by changing the fields or types i

The “let it crash” philosophy is great, but at the same time a proper static type system protects you from a whole class of crashes before they ever reach deployment. If you change the shape of a model object and break its type, it’s great
