What's the likelihood that this was 90%+ written by an LLM? It'd be ironic, especially now that there are 2000+ engineers commenting on it.

> I think writing that sounds good is more likely to be right. Paul's point would make sense if his case was about greater verisimilitude, which might sound like splitting hairs, b…

> changing is_alive to is_dead and forgetting to negate conditionals No test broke?

My hypothesis is that those people I worked with circa 2007-2015 that did Scrum really well (not everyone did), were happy about using Scrum, and delivered good results, ended up p…

> the problem really is cargo cult I’ve said that many times over the years. The irrational mimicking of what others are doing created this Frankenstein model of working that proli…

> Bonus points for no PR’s and trunk driven development as that shows a very mature team. Trunk driven does not mean mature team 100% of the time, but if you have a mature team tru…

This is an important point. Being able to give the benefit of the doubt is critical in an environment where trust is so vital. Team meetings/retreats are essential for that because…

I see most discussions around liking/disliking remote work include the infrastructure/equipment as argument. I personally like remote in great part because of it. I love my 4k disp…

Suggestions: daily standup (or a few times a week); pair programming more often; book club; 1h-presentations on technical topics once a week.

This. Before the pandemic I'd go work from somewhere nice once or twice a week. That made home not that boring. Not possible anymore with the pandemic, although things are starting…

I recommend taking a look Obsidian.md. I used Roam but now am in Obsidian because I can have my files with me, backup it the way I want, and it's free.

I agree with reason 1, but reason 2 is an answer for, "should I use PG search in the same PG instance I already have", and that's a different discussion. You can set up a replica f…

This summarizes my situation, with one exception: the occasional trips (~twice a month) to work from the local coffeeshop, and/or ~twice a year trips to company retreats, helped va…

Also super interested, specially handling migrations and structure/schema syncs.

Agreed, what you describe is the status quo, where we have small evolutions through diets and drugs. But I'm not completely on the pessimistic side because there's one thing that c…

I guess only if Coinbase stock price was set in Bitcoin. That way, as btc increases, so would the equivalent stock price in dollar.

Get a remote job in the US.

It is ridiculous if you associate pay with degree/profession, but it is not if you associate pay with the offer and demand equilibrium. If there are no revenues to be taken or no d…

Not OP but probably Buildkite or Jenkins

> To-do lists are for things that aren't a real priority, otherwise you would be giving them your full attention and the tracking would be unnecessary. I disagree with this bit, bu…

You had me on "Oops"

Although not GraphQL, that's the idea behind Ember-Data. The API is slightly different but you access data from serialized objects.

Macbook and Macbook Fan.

Not OP, and I don't think it's utter bullshit, but I can see 2 serious problems: 1. small sample, 60 people is not enough to draw great conclusions. 2. they should have included pe…

I've done intermittent fasting both on a fat-based diet and on a carbs based-diet. On a carbs based diet, it feels like there's an animal inside me craving for food all the time. T…
