I'm just slightly younger than you, but have the exact same sentiment. Hell, even moreso maybe, because what I realized is that "writing code to implement interesting ideas" is not…

Even with human junior devs, ideally you'd maintain some documentation about common mistakes/gotchas so that when you onboard new people to the team they can read that instead of y…

> He may be jewish by birth but seems popular and competent. I want to give you the benefit of the doubt here, but what in the hell man.

Wild to see this couched as a stern warning. Seems more like "we're not introducing RTO unless there is a good reason for it".

Do you actually believe that is an apt comparison?

Definitely agree, but man, the sheer number of folks who leave just horrible comments on videos/posts people make about how they lost weight on a GLP-1 agonist is so disheartening.…

CPAP has been life changing for me. For my entire life I struggled getting up in the morning, and I never felt "refreshed". Getting up before 9-10AM was super difficult. I also was…

But how can we blame this on DEI? -Elon, probably

I personally think that Musk is kind of a dipshit when it comes to his political views, that he is a bit of a charlatan (FSD this year, I swear), that Tesla jumped the shark tank a…

Think of chess. Its pretty easy to learn the rules. Once you've done that you can watch a game and know roughly what is happening. But its still a hard game to master.

The playground simulation is pretty cool. One thing I found interesting, is it you go with PEWMA and create a scenario where the cluster is stressed, and then add 1 server, it pumm…

Did this 20 years ago by having the name of the server as part of the user's profile. User's 1 through 50 (light users) log in and their profile says they go to app-1.myapp.com. Us…

This is pretty much how I already write SQL, just using CTEs. In fact I bet the most straightforward way to transpile PRSQL to SQL would be using CTEs.

Justin Hammer way more apropos

Elon is more Justin Hammer.

Nah, I'll stick with Tr0ubAdor&3, thank you very much :-)

Too many times in my career have I seen an employer lose an employee, who has a ton of institutional knowledge and performs adequately or even excellently, only to replace them the…

Universal bytecode that is architecture agnostic. Take some rust code, compile it into wasm, and call it from dotnet. Compile your app into wasm and run it anywhere on any architec…

I happen to be building this exact same product, but closed source, and somewhat attached at the hip to my company's 3PL WMS product. One thing I did not see in your demo, is inven…

We're there again with WASM and WAGI. https://www.fermyon.com/blog/wasm-wasi-wagi

I have such fond memories of these systems. I was lucky enough to go to a magnet high school in the late 90s and we had a lab full of these. Getting such early exposure to not only…

This is pretty neat. The complexity jump from CRUD to Circles and Cells is pretty radical, though. I feel like a Master/Detail task would be a nice addition, and it could include a…

It is absolutely the case in certain circumstances. I know several evangelical parents who want their kids ignorant about sexual health because they think teaching kids about sexua…

Sad. Made me think of other sites I'd visit for similar content. The Bastard Operator from Hell (BOFH) is actually still around and new content being written. https://www.theregist…
