I used to be on a forum with only half a dozen people, someone in the group hosted it. We wanted to share images so someone wrote and hosted a pubic file sharing site... We never s…

Take C#, if you want a new language feature or syntax added you have to propose it to the language design team, they have to decide it's worth implementing then you have to wait on…

How on earth is the ebook more expensive than the physical copy!

This! All my experience in trying to hire developers has been wading through an endless stream of people who were just useless. Me: I want to represent a 2d grid, what data structu…

This awesome! I actually had no idea I could ssh into my Remarkable and do neat stuff like this! > Why do it? It's so impractical! Because you can and it's fun is always a perfectl…

The Uncharted games are weird like this. They get lauded for their storyline, yet Drake is out their killing hordes of guys for what ? Some treasure ?

Yeah I was in a bar one night and was peckish, so tried to buy a packet of crisps. They said minimum spend on card was £5, so I said just charge me the £5 it's fine. Card got block…

This is why at my current place we are not supposed to do any dev without an SME on the call. We do the development and share the screen and get immediate feedback as we are workin…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HHLT2_a1tI An example of me solving an Advent of Code with clojure and repl. You can see i never interact with the repl directly, I just send code …

Man, I probably say no to like 40% of the requests I get as a dev. Often we will come up with a better way of doing things by just spending 15-30 mins talking to the business about…

The point isnt to give a simple answer, even if it's a correct answer. The point is show how much you know and how smart you are. The question is framed to you as a way for you to …

As someone who would like to get a new PC (but a desktop) for coding, and is considering a mac, why would you never buy a mac for coding ? I'm currently running Ubuntu on this anci…

Looks a bit like excalidraw. It's not, but it's pretty similar in look. https://excalidraw.com/

I've seen it in person once with a former coworker, everything created anxiety, everything was problematic, she spent her entire time looking for a reason to be offended (especiall…

Or maybe it's finished ?

Fire them?
