How is this a better option that just going with Nextjs?

One of the startups I worked at had a simple rule - if you wanted to complain about something being bad, you had to come with suggestions how to make it better. And they had to be …

I had a similar experience when I got into software. As a junior, more than once I wished to just to quit the field - even after years of CS studies & it being one of the best oppo…

Knowing more is better than knowing less. Are you the unicorn person that can learn everything on the program without the "incentive" of failing if you don't? Personally, I'm finis…

It's all part of the Molusks grand plan: Disable 2FA -> fall under 45mil users -> don't have to implement the most stringent version of the new law -> profit?

From personal PoV as a software engineer - not that surprising. I've yet to have any success from any online application, while my hit rate when contacted by recruiters is relative…

I'm not arguing that tech giants shouldn't run the risk of becoming public utilities - after all, quite a lot of their success could be attributed to utilising public resources, ei…

I know it's very American to think constitution applies universally, but unless Twitter becomes a government agency - they owe you nothing. If a private entity de-platforms you, yo…

I did try to do it, currently not yet successfully. Since I had interest in law, I started working on a LLB (a law degree that would be first step to be a lawyer in the UK) on the …

While I do run a separate business on the side (brewing drinks), it does not help if the "job that makes the money" has close to no excitement. Getting through work hours is just t…

For me it's getting to the point of it feeling like a grind. Yes, all things considered, my current pay is good. Looking around the market, it is on par with some more niche roles …

While I do not expect to go for very niche jobs, in part of them being quite heavily location specific, even things that seem dev adjacent do not feel very easy to get into. As you…

Past few years I've been feeling more and more that no matter where I look, no matter to what companies I talk to, a lot of the jobs in the market around me essentially boil down t…

I've actually looked at their terms (which is rare for services I have no intention of using) - wow, it's amazing what a clusterfuck it is.

While as someone living in London, I fully agree that Scotland should have sovereignty without the English BS, I do find it chuckle worthy the url they created for this cause: "ind…

This is pretty much it. If the consumer is not paying for it in some ways (for example in the UK, consumers can pay Which?[1] to access their reviews) - the companies are. If the c…

It probably is the end game for any review website. Your client usually dictates the business model to a degree. At this point, TrustPilots business model is essentially reputation…

People who call for Leet Code either never tried to hire actually high skill developers or fools themselves into thinking that they're the cool kid in town. You might think it's be…

Putting _ga cookie under "Necessary cookies" makes it an auto skip. Not interested in websites that "need" google analytics to "function"

I feel there's a comment on venture capital somewhere in this post.. :)

Those 5-10min to setup my PSVR is a high tax to pay when I have maybe 30mins to play something. Not willing to sell my soul to FB (not yet at least :D), so no affordable wireless V…

It's interesting that a lot of people here seem to consider a second FT position as immoral/illegal. How about instead of a second FT job - studying FT for an unrelated degree? The…

It's an interesting duality of engineers - love the coding challenges when they are the ones evaluating, while refuse to do them themselves :)

Even if the goal is not to make money, I'd think that most would at least want an audience to read their work. Publishing a book, especially paperback is a considerable commitment,…

Almost every week I see new software books being published, sometimes on extremely niche topics. A good number of them get outdated within the year it was published. At the same ti…
