The world isn't just backend. There are mobile projects, games, native desktop apps which act together as a suite and web frontends. Also microservices bring up their own host of i…

The big thing about monorepos in this case is making a change atomic across a set of projects. Multirepos can't do this 99% of the time and often add a lot more procedure to someth…

IMO AI agents harnesses (claude code, codex, etc) haven't added monorepo features yet as of a couple of months ago and thats what makes them painful. Basic things like, only apply …

Yes this existed at least since 2018 or 2019 at Uber.

It's very similar to being an EM, and if you think EMs are useless, the vast majority EMs have decided it's not worth their time to educate you, and the few who have tried to gentl…

I wrote something similar a couple years ago too after having a pretty bad time with swift ui and concurrency: https://medium.com/goodones/pareto-optimal-apple-devtools-b4...

Funny he said "Good APIs matter more than ever". My software for one these past few weeks has been my mega archive project, making an APIs & UIs out of 50+ providers whether they l…

Dude, disclose the AI writing; it has AI smells all over it, such as contrastive sentences.

No, I mean for some, a high saturated fat diet can do amazing wonders. And for others, it causes horrible issues. The studies are not well segmented genetically and by body state s…

Different countries are different, some are far more trigger happy about it like Canada. What you suggest as an alternative other than 'git gud' diet & exercise also changes it.

I've tried designing information-dense things for colorblind coworkers, and they seemed a bit disinterested in testing it out with me. Even with tools that simulate it, you can sti…

17 years is far from rapid or move fast and break things. ApoB has been known about for quite a long time, since the 90s its effects have been obvious, and showed up in research in…

If you dig into research and follow the low-risk experiments that people do online to reduce their Lp(a), you can find techniques and evidence to do so. It doesn't have to be an im…

If you fix it without statins through better lifestyle and diet, that is the preferrable route. As to why medicine is like this, it's because it's conservative, usually about 17 ye…

IMO, I think that is more of a saturated fat issue, and only a subset of the population is like that. Others solve their health issues through eating a lot of red meat.

It's a fairly useful tool if you know how to use it. People will also play with it as a toy. It's much like the masses getting access to cheap video cameras and smartphones with go…

Yes, much like wet streets are a high predictor of rain. Or smoke, firefighters and wood are a high predictor of fire. The firefighters are not causing the fire, neither do the wet…

Don't you sign something to the effect that you have not hidden testing like this that you are aware of?

Cholesterol is more of a proxy "smoke" or "firefighter" measure than a measurement of the actual fire. It's very much a wet streets cause rain kind of thing. Artificially eliminati…

It is ultimately a form of insecurity.

ok what is DMV, RTP is research triangle park from what I can see. DMV is unsearchable.

I was the manager in this case, and I also hated JIRA with a passion. It's often the managers doing the alternative spreadsheets too and only using JIRA as necessary. I found you d…

Yeah, burnout is hard, and real. Everything you've described, I've literally been in an equivalent. To get out of these ruts requires a sober assessment of where you are and some h…

JIRA is so dysfunctional in many places that people do a good chunk of intra-team planning in spreadsheets and docs instead, and use JIRA sparingly to make everyone faster. I saw t…
