The funny (not-so-funny?) thing is that reading this if I didn't know better, I'd figure we worked at the same company and I'm sure that most people reading this have a similar sto…

For this use-case, maybe compression and then encoding would get more data into the URL before you hit a limit (or before users complain)? I.e. .md -> gzip -> base64

for me it's Liquid DnB, anything by Liquicity is amazing, especially their year mixes and the couple that Maduk did on youtube during the pandemic

Likely my own personal bias, but I have never once found git log/commit messages to be useful when debugging or understanding what happened. I'm sure that others do so I try to wri…

The idea for this came from a previous company. We were accessing external APIs that had fairly restrictive versioning requirements. Not everyone in the company followed those and …

I've been working on an idea for a logging proxy to track down where internal->external calls are coming from and optionally block them. Been using various AI tools as a way of bot…

Several things while I'm between full time gigs, working on learning rust for my own pleasure: - Rust Lab Log ( https://github.com/bryan-lott/rust-lab-log ) a simple CLI to take do…

> you should probably take a step back and redefine what a PR is for your organization I agree with this wholeheartedly if you are in a role that allows you to redefine what a PR i…

Similar in concept to "Seagull Management" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seagull_management), I've run into a similar thing when it comes to Principal Engineers. I've encountered …

May not be the most shiny/flashy thing, but I'm trying to figure out how to get out of burnout (adhd/autism/tech - all the varieties) without having to quit the world for six month…

Also, don't be afraid to revisit your favorite fiction and/or try young-adult fiction. IMO what you read matters less than building a habit or routine of reading.

I purchased the collection after reading this review. It was always a series that I wanted to read when I was younger but never did. Trying to get back into reading fiction again a…

The concept of "learning styles" has a pretty large mountain of evidence disproving its validity. Just a quick sample from wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning_styles#…

Just wanted to say thank you for working on this, I'm going to take another read-through of those 2 links and see if it makes more sense given the extra context of this thread. Eit…

I suppose what I'm looking for is maybe a translation from git to jj from the perspective of working in a repo with other users that are using git. Something along the lines of: 1.…

Something that I've been struggling to wrap my brain around is: 1. Can I use jj inside a repo that was already initialized with git? I think the answer is yes, but I haven't found …

Not trying to hijack, but in addition, I'd love to know how we can fight back beyond just archiving data. HN tends to lean heavily into tech skills. How can we leverage those skill…

Agree - in my 10+ year career, I've run into exactly 2 PM's that have provided enough value to a team or project to justify their inclusion in the team or project. Both were techni…

Just wanted to say you've built an amazing product. So much so that I got my team hooked on it and am working on getting it out to the rest of the company that needs it. Well done!…

Currently use markdown files + dropbox for sync. I can't seem to stick with a single notes app for any appreciable length of time but having files in plain text makes it easier to …

Taking the opportunity to plug my favorite blog post ever: "the truth is everything is breaking all the time, everywhere, for everyone" https://www.stilldrinking.org/programming-su…

Add another vote for mise. For me it replaced asdf, pyenv, poetry, and direnv. Biggest thing for me is it _just works_:tm:.

Someone else already mentioned Autism and ADHD, possibly a combination. Those would be my first guesses. Another one is potentially migraines. They aren't always "a bad headache" a…

I use Amethyst https://github.com/ianyh/Amethyst in my day to day. Slightly different management philosophy but one that works well for me.

Reminded me of a tool that I created and use daily (and that I need to get back to adding some functionality to!) Among the things I need to do are... add a readme! But it's a low …
