Two reasons that come to my mind: 1. legal burden of hiring globally 2. while allowing remote work, the company might not be set up for asynchronous communication

I’ve raised similar concerns as well, especially with the same argument about non-development departments. However, with the Ultimate plan you also get free guest users, which coul…

That's not true. "GraphQL requests" are _just_ POST requests with a JSON that contains "query" and "variables". So it's not the request itself that is not debuggable, but maybe the…

I tried to follow the concept of minimalism a few years ago. For everyone else who is struggling with it: don't stress out because you can't live with one backpack. Yes, you can ge…

> but they definitely seem to be underpaying in general Interesting that you say that. I can't speak for US area, because I live in Europe. Looking at the Spain salary, which is ab…

How good is the "Blueprint for Phoenix Context" part? I am already working with phoenix/elixir on a daily basis and would be only interested in good examples with contexts.

Maybe in Switzerland - but not in Germany / Austria. If there are so many companies that do this, please tell me :)

When checking out a new branch or planning a new feature - ask yourself, if you would deploy it today and the customer sees it - will he notice it/benefit from it. Of course this d…

Thanks for the detailed answer and coming up with a property-based test that is not a "1+1=2" example :)

Serious question: How would you suggest to write a test that prevents this? You wouldn't make an assertion on clearTextPassword !== passwordHint. While developing I would think "Wh…

Isn't a dealbreaker if you use it like I do and set a global touch bar configuration, which doesn't change. Only useful feature of the touchbar is Touch ID (which works very well).…

For VIM: I am using CAPS Lock now as ESC key, because there is no physical ESC Key with the touch bar anymore. Generally: I configured my touch bar to match the old keyboard functi…

How did you get from 10k to 350k in one year? Was it the SaaS products + consulting ?

> Interestingly, I still find a lot of value in Messenger. But they've split concerns so you can use that without reactivating your FB account. Afaik when you deactivate your Faceb…

Completely agree. It's not only about the skills, but also (from my experience) working for a company isn't that satisfying and motivating as for yourself.

Yes, I am used to it from my day-to-day job. I probably don't test every edge-case as I do in my job, but it just saves me time and brain capacity (at least I have the feeling that…

I wouldn't say it causes depression, but I see your point. There is a lot of negativity in the comments and sometimes people are harsh because they (think) their opinion is the onl…

I know the CTO of product hunt - he wouldn't switch the tech stack for no good reason. They already used node ~1-1.5 years ago for some parts of the site. I'd guess that they found…

I kinda like the idea, though maybe 60 questions are a lot to go through. However, a very big improvement would be to show yes/no in the graph/circle in green and red (same color a…

The difference on my machine is not even 50ms - good tradeoff for more responsiveness

Why do you want to track everything? Just for curiosity… I had a jawbone and tracked every meal, but after a while I gave up because the data wasn't valuable for me

Playing Hockey - it's the best sport for me. Very quick and high Intensive and a bit brutal sometimes. I love the feeling of sliding on the ice and the focus you need for the 1-2mi…

It's a really good breakfast. Last summer I tried a keto/low-carb diet and only ate eggs w/ bacon in the morning.. after 3-4 months it was too much and now I can't eat it anymore. …

I discover new music with spotify playlists and this works really well for me now. But I've never tried an music recommendation or discovery app... so it could probably be better f…
