I've seen the result of "code doesn't matter" and it's difficult to change and maintain. I guess if your business is ok with frequent P1 incidents or ships a complete product and never touches it again, but I'v

With AI people aren't reading, writing, or thinking about the code. I would not say something that helps me remember a function name is comparible.

I'm not refuting what you said, I'm asking you to elaborate why you said it.

What is the point of this comment? Do you mean to say we should cease the pursuit of DEI because we've "come so far"? Of course that's engaging with you with the assumption that you're not intentionally ignoring the

I think the reason discord got so popular is because of the ease of use. Being able to join a server with a link (and not even having to download a client if you don't want), being able to see who's in voice without "connecti

We have masked men grabbing people off the streets with no accountability. Perhaps you should be asking for evidence of lack of human rights abuse.

I thought I recognized that name: Nylund also wrote some books for the Halo series which I enjoyed, although I was already a fan of the games.

I enjoyed Braid and this revelation doesn't change that, but there's a lot of entertainment and it's easy to not support someone who has views (or at least doesn't express them publicly) that conflict with my own persona

If you don't care about competitive balance or the "identity" of magic it probably didn't. Long answer: the introduction of non-magic sets like SpongeBob SquarePants, Deadpool, or Assassin's Creed are seen as tastel

Firefox (and probably others) allows you to set up custom search engines (like Wikipedia). So when I know I am trying to get to Wikipedia or npm or whatever I just do an @wikipedia and type my search.

I disagree with this thought. I think it's really easy for people to react to things being done for other people (who may have it better or worse off than you) with a sense of abandonment. The reality of the situation is that some peop

Awesome thank you! I'm up near the twin cities; the saint paul board game meetup goes to a lot of breweries and I prefer that vibe too. I like the game aspect but I think the social part is important too. I'm hoping to move this y

I've been looking at moving to Austin and love board games. Unfortunately with everything canceled I can't currently use Meetup to check out the scene. Would you mind talking a little bit about what the board game scene is normall

Thanks! I'm really excited; everyone I've talked to that has been there hypes it up a lot. I will definitely not be thinking about work haha.

I find that I reach that half-life at a company too. After I sweep up the things that are in my control I start noticing all the other problems that are hard for me to affect and then I get complacent. I think I probably need a change of sc

Part of me wonders if I need to rewire how I think about this. Like I realize that there are things outside of my control but deep down I don't accept it, or something like that. Maybe it would help to get out and have conversations li

I have definitely internalized the idea that it's all just tradeoffs. I think I value delivering quality software and it's hard to feel like I'm doing that when I see so many production outages and most of my interaction with

I have definitely been thinking about this a lot, however, it's difficult to know what to do when this is the only long term job I've ever had, and the first time I've really had a career. I don't think the company is lo

Thank you. I wasn't trying to make it sound like I am applying my experiences to the entire industry, I'm just trying to reason about what issues are about me, what issues are about my company, and what issues are about my career

Yeah, but the risk from contact lenses comes over time as it's a risk every time you put your lenses in where with laser correction the risk pretty much only exists while you are healing. You really only have to avoid getting stuff in

I had dry eyes (although I never noticed it) going into the procedure, and while I'm healing I put artificial tears in at night and a couple times during the day. It's well worth it to be able to not have to mess with glasses to p

Getting LASEK was one of the better decisions I've made in life. The risk of infection is extremely low for the procedure but you need to be extra careful while you're healing. It may not be worth the price if your vision is curre

See the beauty of using program + cloud-provider is that all the cloud provider sees is an encrypted file. If one were to gain access to my Google Drive they would still have to crack an encrypted file which will take a while. I feel like w

Personally, they both make sense to me. I've always seen a slider option but I'm sure it's more work to implement. State could be an easy way to search on a bigger scope. I feel like you would have to ask yourself how most pe

Thank you for this! I coming up on graduation and am looking for my first job. Perhaps I am a narrow use case, but I would like to see a distance slider for the filter; I am looking to relocate to the SF area but I really don't care wh
