Your insurance system is a scam, but socialized health care is preferable to the alternatives.

Eh, I wouldn't want to have a beer with him or leave my dog with him. He's doing well financially but that's about it.

It helped consumers a lot.

I find AI useful, I use it most days to write snippets of code or to rubber duck with. It hasn't changed my workflows that much, just replaced Stackoverflow with ChatGPT. Feels lik…

I wouldn't mind RTO so much if the cities where most tech jobs are were affordable. I'd rather be a millwright in my middle-of-nowhere mining town with a 10 minute commute in a 250…

They should have leaned into becoming a developer community ( the developer community) instead of focusing on Q&A. StackOverflow jobs were a great resource. Add an ad-hoc discussio…

I am nobody important living in rural middle of nowhere, but visited SF twice for work, and it was the most horrific city I have ever been to. I am a big man and didn't feel very s…

Grass is greener and so forth but as a Canadian I find our current government paternalistic, pandering, reactive, and stifling. Not every problem should be solved by the sledgehamm…

Every day I get new followers on twitter that are sex bots and onlyfans catfishes. Nothing else. Seems like the platform is a wasteland.

I encountered a niche but common bug and figured out a workaround. Mentioned my blog post about it in the relevant GitHub issue discussion for the bug. Gets a low but steady amount…

Laravel or Rails spitting out Blade or ERB templates respectively. As a solo dev you have everything you need in both ecosystems and you aren't doing 2x the work with a separate fr…

.erb templates are just as good as they were a decade ago.

This is because of Wordpress. Wordpress work pays less than application development typically. Writing an application with Symfony or Laravel pays market rate for an equivalent dev…

Most applications that would leverage this (e.g. server-side rendered Rails or Laravel or Django) already have those templates as partials for their views, so leveraging the functi…

Doesn't surprise me given Salesforce is all about squeezing their (generally) non-technical customers with arbitrary licensing restrictions and "best practices" that lead to paying…

OP and those who feel a similar sentiment should give C# a shot, it's what they want regardless of whether they know it or not.

Front end development doesn't have to be awful, particularly with how much JavaScript the language has improved alongside browser APIs. React made sense at one point because the ab…

For some reason rich people assume their riches makes them wise. Humanity hasn't changed much (at all) since culture was recorded. Read philosophers if you want philosophy - Andree…

What's the difference between the two?

Haven't ever used Rust and probably won't. Regardless, the melodramatic cliquey "I'm leaving the project" bluster as of late reminds me of my 14 year old self on various vbulletin …

Had a friend laid off and saw his job posted not a month later (with the stereotypical #hiring LinkedIn corpojargon). Many employees make a big hubbub of the org being employee-cen…

American tech workers were really lucky and still are lucky. I envy their salaries even in the midst of the current "tech winter". North of the border we are paid a hefty discount …

Companies generally exist to make money. Law and medicine are fields I personally do not want optimized for profits. I believe a better approach to be making governments more effic…

The comment about healthcare (life-altering health outcomes at play) interviewing being less of a rigorous process than screening the devs for icanhazcheeseburger is spot on. What …
