We just build and test everything every time. Maybe it costs us more $$$ on CI, but it costs far less in developer time. That being said, I mostly work at startups and larger compa…

People on the web take the risk of being misinformed, clicking or not.

> The problem is that those people went through their schooling being told that they were awesome and should be a professor (by people who successfully became tenured professors, a…

I have a good manager right now. If that person hasn't had a good manager ever, then it might be one of those cases "if it smells like shit everywhere you go, check your own shoe".…

I'm a senior dev who could cross over if I wanted to, but when I see what the managers are doing on a day-to-day basis I realize I'm perfectly happy doing what I'm doing and making…

You are looking to save yourself a week of time a year and then 3 years later for some reason or another you will HAVE to upgrade and good luck making that change when the world ha…

Same experience as you. Thought I would always use sublime but my coworkers were so adamant about VSCode that I finally gave it a try. I don't even know that I can point to any sin…

> to do some trivial UI work on the front-end If that takes you forever, consider that it may also be your lack of familiarity as much as the lack of type system/compiler. Despite …

I love this. It's not even a joke really.

> suggesting a form of biochemical reaction to the salt water placebo. I know this was a quote from the article, but... Does it really suggest that? Isn't it possible something els…

Thanks for sharing! Someone in my social circle recently fell victim to a phishing attack. I had similar thoughts that you really need to prevent the email from getting through in …

Sadly both conservatives and liberals are blind to their own hypocrisy. This kind of shit goes on at both ends of the spectrum unfortunately.

6 years ago I was wondering how anyone gets burnt out from getting to program for a living. How naive I was :)

My team deploys probably 5 times in a given day, including Friday. They are all small deploys, and none can happen at the end of the day. If shit hits the fan, we rollback and mayb…

> I am kind of non stop moving. I think it’s a personality thing. Yeah, I know people who are like that... I'm not one of them. I certainly can get obsessed with an idea or project…

I could advise someone not to jump off a bridge even if I didn't build it.

Sounds like you had a few problems.

I feel like you're essentially saying the same thing I did, just worded differently?

I had a plumber over for some fixes about a month ago, and he saw me doing some coding on my laptop. He made a comment like "I have absolutely no clue how any of that works... it i…

I agree with you whole-heartedly. My programming career has gone from "I don't know the best way to write something", to "I know the best way to write something and I'll do it this…

The title is also clickbaity, since the conclusion is really just that "we can't deduce much of anything... yet".

I literally mute every channel except my direct team's channel. If you need me, @ me baby.

> This honestly took me a while to learn Yeah same here. I think I pissed off my manager pretty quickly at my current job by trying to change how they did certain things before get…

My personal solution to defuse an argument with the wife is to stick out my tongue and say something stupid. Gets a laugh unless I'm REALLY in trouble, and then it's on to plan B.
