    I think it’s worth a try. Being a bit older than the rest (almost thirties) when I started also gave me pause at first. But I felt that people were very welcoming regardless of you…

    The "Ministry of Truth" in this case is a bad analogy though, since in the story, its purpose was to redefine what is the truth according to state up to the point of forcing people…

    I think the idea would be to compete in different segments. Startups often focus on problems where hypergrowth is at least possible with massive investments. But the examples liste…

    I can't speak for the original poster but one thing that I noticed is that from time to time it happens to me that despite not having a tight deadline I tend to not go all the way …

    The standards mentioned in the article seem to be required to deploy rust code as part of safety critical systems in cars and other industrial applications. This might be a big dea…

    From personal experience I can tell you that using a modern framework can be really worth the added complexity even in simple applications. For one of my clients projects it starte…

    Ask HN: Does anyone else feel like they don't have any challenges left at work?

    I have been at my first full time programming job for almost two years now. At first it felt like there so many new things to discover but now I feel like a cog in the machine, jus…
