Yeah dude. Amen. In my 20's I could literally code a side project all day into the evening (sometimes overnight) and it was absolute serendipity. Coding in and of itself was a vibe…

50 here. Years ago I completely stopped coding, becoming tired of the never ending rat race of keeping up with the latest bizarre web stacks, frameworks for everything, node for th…

Post mortems are absolutely key in creating process improvements. If you think about an organization's most effective processes, they are likely just representations of years of fi…

Reminiscent of the Netflix drama when Mike Kail was accused & eventually convicted of similar. https://www.justice.gov/usao-ndca/pr/former-netflix-executiv...

Every day I thank god I finished my career in software before Leetcode-driven interviewing became so popular.

I am imagining an industry where half of developers don't know how to design a relational data model. Scary if true.

If you have a problem with MIT taking Epstein's money, then you have a problem with money in general. We all take money in some fashion from disgusting, psychotic, and evil people …

What a silly little article. Venn diagrams are an extremely illustrative and useful way to visualize joins.

If you're in executive management then it's a big cause for celebration, and it's been that way since the dawn of M&A

I love this! Maybe the absolute fetishism over the overrated GitHub and Git will finally cease.

I'd call that a broke person with potential, but that person is still currently broke. I would hope that person looks in the mirror and also agrees they are broke, and will make fi…

W Edwards Deming, one of the most famous and respected individuals in the business management and industrial engineering space, would firmly disagree with you. Driving out fear (of…

Workday.

A lot of software developers are are also business people. They focus and make decisions based on the needs of the organization, given the local job market, current staffing, past …

Great sentiments. I don't see security being discussed nearly enough in terms of risk and ROI. I usually see it discussed only in absolute terms, i.e. unless a solution fits the "C…

This is a great article. We seem to love the act of complicating healthy eating habits. Vegetables are good. Processed foods (including sugar) are bad. Mix in some fish and chicken…

Man! I hate Basecamp too! I haven't bothered trying it with my Fenix, but I used it on my Colorado handheld GPS for a few backpacking trips, and it was terrible. Especially the ear…

Love my Fenix 3. Garmin does a nice job bridging the cap between the "smart" watches like Pebble and the Apple watch, and the more serious fitness devices like those from Polar and…

"If you're doing simple stuff with , no problem, but as soon as you need to go deeper, good luck." This is how technology works in general. The deeper you go, the more abstractions…

But "ve" doesn't create confusion?
