I would give Motion a try. I used them for their trial and really enjoyed it. I'm considering paying for the product now. It's at usemotion.com I'm sure it's flexible and if I put …

I think it usually comes down to Angular vs React for most legitimate decisions for longer term, maintained projects. I prefer Angular because all the major modules are built-in an…

Looks cool! I remember when I started easyunsubscriber.com. Unsubscribe.com was a competitor and later unroll.me also came around. Both eventually were acquired, I stopped running …

On the injury topic, I used to pull muscles all the time. I would probably pull a muscle every 3-4 months that would sideline me for a month or two. This seemed to stop when I star…

I'm very unfamiliar with this, but is there additional ongoing costs in terms of extra energy consumption? Do you know if this rig is changing your monthly energy costs?

I'm not sure I've ever seen a one sentence news story before.

They also have a "Bumble BFF" mode where you can try to make friends in a new city on the app.

It's fantastic. I loosely followed it for a few years to get better at interviewing (Note: For interviews, you generally need data structures and algorithms knowledge). Now I'm fol…

If you would take a bonus and make it part of my salary, I could deal with that. However, when there's a bonus that makes one company's offer $35K more lucrative than another, that…

In trying to frame this question, I would suggest having the end in mind. What do you want to be doing in 5 or 10 years? I don't know if you have an answer to that question, but yo…

The mom test a million times over! When people hear the name, they assume it's about usability (i.e. make something easy that your mom understands it), but it's not - its' the best…

I use other sites to curate content for me. Mostly HN and the people I follow on Twitter. I try to stay on a news diet.

A lot of people still communicate on messageboards - especially in specific niche communities. A fantasy football website I frequent has a messageboard and so does my favorite foot…

I love the advice and idea, but this reminded me of an excerpt from The Third Door by Alex Banayan. “Mr. Buffett, I’ve heard that one of your ways of focusing your energy is that y…

That's pretty cool! I'm also going through the graduate program. I'm two classes in and I'm taking two this semester. Any chance you'd want to grab coffee and talk about the progra…

I would start with these: https://thebestschools.org/rankings/best-online-bachelors-co... Scroll past the ads that mention the "schools" you mentioned, and take a look at the list …

We all feel this way from time to time. I’ve been writing software for ten years and I still feel like an imposter. I feel like someone will find out I don’t know what I’m doing an…

There’s two ways to build faster: more people or cut scope. For startups with limited resources, cutting scope is usually the answer. When you say “extensive app”, that is a red fl…

Based on my experience, it's the most typically seen bottleneck. But bottlenecks change over time. You notice slowness somewhere in a website action and you dig into it. Sometimes,…

“Indeed, the ratio of time spent reading versus writing is well over 10 to 1. We are constantly reading old code as part of the effort to write new code. ...[Therefore,] making it …

In a CS program, you learn a lot about algorithmic efficiency and theory, but you don't learn a lot about software construction. Here's my list of must read software books related …

Can you elaborate more on this? I've worked with very large codebases in React and Angular and have not seen this issue. I'm guessing it's either because all of my applications wer…
