If you start at #2 you will eventually have to learn #1. If you start at #1 you will eventually start #2 to apply what you learnt at #1.

Recommending the Sonim XP3 or XP5 for anyone looking for a dumb phone to try out. Good models and great form factor. New(upgraded/"Plus") models were released recently if you fancy…

I think you confused personal development with career development. A job is a means to an end and should not be a huge concentration of your personal development.

Some of my network has gone straight into military/defense companies. Quite a bit of recruitment going on since they've been in contact since 2019 too

Good article. Some key points: > Again, programming is a good example of a predictable domain, one created to produce the same outputs given the same inputs. If it doesn’t do that,…

I completely forgot about Google Desktop. RIP

A lot of interesting comments to read here but so little time...

Great point. A lot of folks forget that not all programming jobs can/should be outsourced. There's value in outsourcing but specifications and contexts change that.

That's cool

Well written comment! > In essence what has happened in software development is that the level of abstraction has gone up while the machine has taken over more and more of the nitt…

General population/society has become soft and promotes freely sharing confidential internal information to solicit outrage and/or support. Back then this wasn't the case

Nicely put email. I hope folks don't disregard that when you're in a leadership position this is one of the better moves to make especially as an "initial" move. Different position…

+1 for WGU for explicitly getting the paperwork done. I've recommended this to self-taught peers, vets, and those with uncommon backgrounds who had to deal with paperwork bias. Con…

No, I think country caps help in filtering. If removed it would open a pandora's box like experience for anyone in the process and those processing the applicants. Systemizing immi…

For anyone curious about the top H1B recipients (FY 2019) - https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/data/h-1b...

While I understand this would be good publicity for the H1B visa and its notice/grace period. I think if people were more aware (open to see another perspective) that the biggest p…

Yes I was, best part of that drive. Saw more than I expected. Will do, thanks for the invite

Damn shame. Toblerone was known because of its allure as Swiss chocolate. I was disappointed when they moved production, something like Toblerone with its brand and weight with its…

> Software developers are often regarded as architects, as their work somewhat resembles that of a civil engineer. I like this analogy.

I'm curious if anyone here has links to a pdf/printable version of these docs by Apple? Or even if anyone knows anyone compiling an archive of diff. versions?

Nice, valuable resource here for anyone in any position in a business. Apple is one of the best with user experience so having a laid out guidelines like this is a public service. …

I use Wise strictly through the web interface and I'd say this redesign has become less utilitarian than the previous one. I yearn for the day, rebranding & redesigning into the hy…

Yes, what you say is true for sure. I think the emphasis on specialization has been net negative in terms of general life ROI but net positive in terms of career/job -at-scale ROI.…

I get the writing but it's too vague to represent using "than understanding tech". Under the context of the overall brand of the website--letters to a new developer- then it would …

+1 , I came to that conclusion on the view stack being one of the leakiest if not the leakiest part of the Rails stack after developing saas with heavy SPA-like tendencies. Good to…
