$30k? I was in a similar situation and sold for $2k... I should have held out!

There really isn't, and I hate it.

I've never understood the appeal of the opposite. Modern gaming where you just play with different randos every round. When I was a kid playing Quake 3 I had different servers book…

I kind of agree but also > what about X feature To which I argue unequivocally YAGNI 95% of apps people actually develop are really just CRUD and could easily get by without JavaSc…

How firm is the hybrid requirement? This sounds up my alley - Go (10+ YoE), TS (10+ YoE), PHP (25+ YoE) and I'm very interested but my wife and I both have elderly parents to suppo…

I've spent about a month all told in SF over a couple visits. As a devout midwesterner, I didn't think I was going to enjoy the place. Having spent a bit of time there however, and…

It took me longer to get past the "human verification" than to read the entire article. Odd state of the world.

> If the QA server is down, the testers are unable to do their jobs, and the team isn’t producing working software. For the QA team, this is a production outage. Fixing it should b…

Personally my rules for production code is "don't". For non-production code "probably don't" Review the AI generated code, and understand it well enough to make the commitment mess…

There is a space in my town that has sat empty for many years now. Well over a decade. It used to be a video rental place. I don't know if anything's been in there since. I've kind…

The biggest joke of the entire things is that no one wins by being first anymore. It is not the 1990s. If anything, you win by being a good second. Facebook won because it watched …

I absolutely believe it. Codex has been pushing things to my main branch all week despite me repeatedly telling it not to and adding to my AGENTS.md very clear instructions for cre…

I did an independent study of C in high school in 2003. I sat at a non-internet-connected terminal in the back of the TechED room and typed examples from the provided book into a v…

When Leo banned him is actually when I stopped listening to TWiT. Apparently he came back a few years later, but I never did.

Most of what I know him for was coming on TWiT, driving Leo Laporte nuts, and making claims that ended up not coming true. He was a hilarious curmudgeon. He will be missed.

Frank Lloyd Wright. The true spirit of America is building.

You don't even need a hack, there's built-in support for this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_JPEG I've been here screaming "Motion JPEG EXISTS and is well supported in brows…

My biggest complaint about Photoshop is that every time CPUs have gotten faster, it's gotten slower. I've used it since the mid 1990s recreationally, early 2000s professionally. Ev…

I honestly didn't know he was a Kiwi until I saw Hunt for the Wilder People. Absolutely fantastic movie.

Neat! I did a fair bit of toying with Go's WASM target early on and was able to port a couple neat things to the web. The sheer size of the WASM output though was a limiting factor…

I was about to make the same comment about Minnesota, but I'd only get a three month vacation.
