I sometimes wonder if I'm in a different universe to other devs. Anytime AI coding is brought up, comments are overwhelmingly negative and often point out correctness, quality, slo…

I'm a big PostHog fan - can GMT+10 be written off as just bad latency?

their music's making waves

When I saw Jensen's talk about how Openclaw surpassed React and Linux in terms of GitHub stars within a few months, I knew the whole thing was manufactured bot hype. No one can tel…

Same here, it helped a lot. Also don't eat a big meal and go straight to bed. Aim for an earlier dinner.

I love that this man resurrected his blog after 10 years just to write this. Anger and spite are strong motivators.

I agree in general, but there will always be certain requirements and team structures where stuff like this makes sense. For me, I work in a small team of 6 devs on an ever growing…

I just use copilot for this and bash scripting, which I both do very little of and forget the syntax

I highly recommend strength training. To anyone. But especially us developers. Big compound lifts like squats, deadlifts, rows etc all hit a lot of muscle and posterior groups and …

I didn't quite understand why this was made. We create our local test environments using docker-compose, and so I read: > Creating reliable and fully-initialized service dependenci…

I paid for the UI kit early last year and think it's good value. The amount of time its saved me has more than paid for itself, and it's just nice to have something that isn't a su…

I think their reasoning is that it's type safe so the compiler complains that you didn't handle something that returns an error.

I've been looking for a personal finance app for a long time. I don't want a Saas that charges me monthly and can shutdown at anytime. Most other homebrewed apps are incomplete or …

This is so good. I've tried so many homebaked spreadsheet trackers and semi-complete side project sites. This one looks like it strikes a good balance between feature completeness …

Sounds like your lead engineer setup NX too soon. we made it about 5 years in to our monorepo before having to use tools like that. Once we were at a point where our codebase inclu…

This is what would do it for me. I make planning and big decisions once or twice a year where having write access is needed. I'd be happy to pay $14 for it. For the rest of the yea…

wonder if you'll get effected by the API pricing changes. that's pretty cool though, are you willing to share the source?

For Saas products, this plus use structured logging so you don't have to grep-parse log messages when searching your log collectors. Ie all the meta/log context in a hashmap alongs…

If the moon wasn't drifting away and was in a static orbit, would the Earth's rotation slow and the moon's orbit speed up to the point where they're in sync?

Second this. Also much easier to pick up code or review a PR if the types are explicitly provided rather having to backtrack to see how something's called.

Yes, those anti-mask nut jobs complaining about mandates that don't exist. Now, is protesting climate change any less legitimate or any more harmful that would warrant the level of…

We don't do leet code or coding tests. We do talk about projects they've worked on in the past - either academic, professional or personal - whichever they're most across. Again, w…

We don't find it hard to hire in the sense that our offers are always accepted. I was moreso trying to indicate the difficulty of finding competent developers in a sea of candidate…
