I don't think I've ever powered a computer down completely outside of troubleshooting issues or restarting for updates since the 90s.

This is awesome. I listen to a video game history podcast with the founder of the video game history foundation, https://gamehistory.org/ , and the one thing he constantly brings u…

From a bit of a ways into the article "Ahn says she would like to see penalties for parents who make unfounded accusations against teachers or practical measures put in place so th…

My company is about to wrap up our mid year review/promotion cycle, and I put in for promotion to senior engineer. I feel I've been doing good work with a big impact for the compan…

Tangent: 4?! My son is 2 and a half and we have just gotten to the point where he will even pay attention to a tv for more than 10 minutes (and only for peppa pig of all things). I…

I'm not sure if the popularity increase is angular getting more popular, or front end development getting more popular. Vue has a similar track over the last year https://www.npmjs…

Having never gone to college and coasting my way through high school I never really learned good study habits, but I'm trying to change that now. I'm currently reading Design Data …

And for a counter observation I saw lines out of nail/hair salons and bars in Atlanta the day Kemp dropped shelter in place at the beginning of May. I'd say I see 1 in 8 people wea…

I'm currently a software developer with around 5 years of experience, but have never had a major hand in architecting new systems. All my prior experience has been just working wit…

I have been writing software professionally for four years, but entered through non-traditional means. I've picked up bits and pieces over time, but never had any sort of formal ed…

I personally love this trend. It's one of the first sites I've been on in a while that I didn't have to bump up everything to a readable size.

Is there something similar to this for someone without a bachelors degree?

Every company I've worked at will not allow me to leave my laptop at the office. They all claim it's something about the office not being safe from theft in some way or another. My…

Not a ban on annual subscriptions, but I need to show proof of completion of a course to get the reimbursement for it. So if I bought pluralsight now I'd have to make sure I comple…

They have to happen by that Feb 2nd deadline. After Feb 2nd I get the 2020 budget that I can use to go to conferences with though!

Yeah, this is a bit more strict than I'm use to with a growth fund. Like I said, I couldn't buy a book on elixir since it doesn't relate to the day to day, but I could buy things a…

I just hit the requirements for tenure to get access to my growth fund for the year, but it expires on Feb. 2 and the new years fund will come in and this $1k will disappear. I nee…
