This post reminds me of the beauty of open source. Well done build and a great project summary!

The problem isn't regulation, the problem is that the regulation isn't simple or cheap enough for small companies to get regulated.

Oh neat I haven't heard of console1984 or the package that allows for auditing. A lot of my previous companies have been looking for something like this

This also make sense how one can hijack someones brain into believing something even if they don't understand why it makes sense

I would not have been revoked if it wasn’t illegal.

Being harassed/doxed is different than being cancelled It is important to disambiguate the two

that doesn't sound bad to me if we are dealing with people's life or people's freedoms

Love the move to gemify standard library. This is a perfect mix of batteries included but also makes it easy to upgrade bits of the standard library over time between releases. Gre…

I the past year I have been convinced the desire to get things done is a partial root of my unhappiness. I have been working a lot on learning to just be and perhaps do also.

addressing #7, graphql queries are dynamic and not stored on the server

pro audio tends to be a lot more low level to prevent any kind of stuttering or delay, so it may not always be compatible across stacks. It also tends to not get updated very often…

IRC was the chat server. Freenode was THE OSS irc chat server. There wasn't any other game in town that could scale well enough that was free.

I used Kafka at my last company. One of the places that it failed us was trying to use it as a queue. Don’t do that.

Marching is the first necessary step to get people organized. It is the lowest bar for starting to organize and to participate. It is where people can drum up support, awareness an…

It can be eating too

This! A friend actually used to work on those systems. Hilarious amounts of complexity figuring out auto wipers

Capitalist dystopian dreams. Nyc has mostly unregulated real estate and it is still horrible. Large development corporations create artificial scarcity that rise the price of rent.…

I would call it more of a plateau than stagnation. The senior title is a pretty beautiful spot, well paid and always more to learn but the value to the company is limited to the wo…

This rings true to my experience. I'm a Staff engineer and of my 40 hour week about 10-15 of those hours are interviews, meetings, and answering questions. Questions about technica…

I feel like these have been standard practices in most of the startups I have worked with over the past 10 years. It is interesting to see that this isn’t the norm already.

"So yeah, in practice the confusing rules of JS equality comparison don't really matter all that much." I run into this all the time. Plenty of junior devs I work with do this. Unf…

From my current understanding adding random noise doesn’t affect most timing attacks because it is averaged out. I may be wrong though

I thought timing attacks only matter for clear data to encrypted data and back part of the library, and as long as they didn’t write any data parsing that is content specific pre o…

At plated we do two coding interviews. The first is concrete, we have a library that is poorly written and their job is to implement a new feature and refactor it. This is a great …

Ex-Pivot here. The kool-aid was amazing. Would drink again. Best communicators I have ever worked with.
