Author here, I've built my blog with NextJS a few years ago but now I'm in the process of migrate to Birdgetown Ruby. I wrote a blog posts explaining the reasons behind my choose

I can confirm. Also the technology used really counts: with Javascript I got weird error and there are no standard in the ecosystem so I found my self looking on Google and SO all …

This is absolutely untrue. In Europe we work several days/weeks after the layoff notice. You can fire people from the night to the morning only in US

Imagine to solve an algorithmic problem to work in the UX team. I'm always more convinced that this type of interview process is a joke

Yeah, because we spend the whole day reversing a linked list in your real-life SWE job, right? It's ridiculous that we have to study all those algorithms that we will never use it …

Opposite situation for me. I've been using Sourcetree for YEARS and it was a PITA, so bad, slow and counterintuitive. On the other hand Fork saved my mental health and it's by far …

DietPi is really great and solid. I've been using it for two years on a raspberry pi 3 and I've never had a single issue. Good job!

The problem with SPAs is that they have been misused and overused, at least in Italy. Tons of projects built with SPA in which we have to re-implement basic browser features like t…

I'm sorry by Europe is not USA. We have no RSU and little to zera extra compensations. Salary is just salary. Please don't undervaluate this law proposal if you don't know what you…

Yeah, why not split north Italy and south Italy then?

I know this will be an unpopular idea but I like the direction gnome is following. I think it is becoming a solid and reliable OS, it has much fewer bugs than KDE, it's getting fas…
