You can have more than one platform team. I think reality is more complicated than a one size fits all approach. It's going to be specific to your org, your project, the stage it's…

Hahah. Reminds me of the time I used to work at a place where the software's demo company was called ISIS and that didn't used to be a big deal until ISIS itself became a thing. Pa…

sounds like the beginnings of either burnout, depression or both. I'm in a job that's not quite demanding enough at the moment and it caused me to fall into a depression. It's good…

Same here. I would add if you experience what the OP does combined with looking around the house every day and seeing piles of unfolded washing and dirty dishes waiting for you tha…

I use containers in production and for local development dependencies but for exactly these reasons I run the application locally via the IDE like I always have, with the option to…

>You're too old to be having melt-downs and it's a bad example to set for your relatively new child. Sorry, but this just comes off as so ableist.

I'm OK with not being in career heaven, so long as I'm not in career hell.

My previous team lead hated JIRA and would frequently rail on it during our agile ceremonies. Me who likes coming up acronyms would refer to it as that "Janky Irritating React App"…

I like how the arguments used to import the database need to match the arguments used to export the database. I can recall on two separate occasions receiving a database dump from …

Just sign up for Facebook through Australia.

Buefy is my favorite. Most productive I've ever felt on frontend. But it is a little limited compared to most other component libraries, so YMMV but I really love it.

Never really thought of computers as needing convincing but come to think of it it takes about as many tries to convince my computer to do want I want as it takes to convince my so…

Interesting. I knew most of that more or less but didn't know the mechanism by which the myelin sheath speed up the propagation of action potentials but it makes sense.

Buy books then.

Does C# rely on VS? MSBuild is separate from VS and you can use Rider (yay!) or VSCode instead of VS. The ecosystem is definitely growing in the last 5 years too since open source …

Which im sure some poor soul will mishear as "Pussy-Slut Academy" once the names are reversed and Arkady is put into Katakana and it's late into a night of drinking at the mandator…

Kinda hard to have real democracy when you have dictators that just kill people they don't like. Want to stay as far away from that dynamic as possible. It's garbage and always wil…

You just keep on telling yourself that.

Let's just go back to being ruled by kings and queens and having to do whatever job our last name is while we're at it.

You shoulda pasted it into image search. マンコ is pussy and ビッチ (bitch) is slut. So, it's like "nice to meet you, I'm pussy slut" and then handing someone a business card. I remember…

It's probably more non-Japanese would pronounce the /l/ so differently that it would change the way the name sounds enough to be jarring to the individual who bears the name. That'…

Well can't be worse than Russians with a surname of Mankovich having to introduce themselves in Japan as マンコビッチ

A lot of people go this route. And this is a bloody neat tool to help you do so! We chose not to though with our son though, since the list of names that works in both is small and…
