I’d say it’s easier to tell in the US as cities and towns tend to be heavily divided into class-based areas. Not to mention people in general are far more comfortable “showing off”…

I'd say this is mostly due to the fact that building software in many companies is largely a social activity, and there's an interesting intersection of personalities and motivatio…

I love that first point and I wish it was something that was applied even further to other pieces of data - integers and floats are intended for mathematical operations and so to m…

Doesn’t it kinda depend on the problem at hand? Or maybe I misunderstand what a design pattern is.

The house I bought came with a satellite dish - what are some cool / interesting (and legal) things I can do with it? note: located in northern Europe

Have you tried talking to them one on one?

If it was .orElseReturn404 then yeah. My point is HTTP codes have no place outside of HTTP endpoints

I quit somewhere after a week. Basically it wasn’t what was advertised (job was supposed to be Python backend but was mainly maintaining Ansible scripts) and the turnover on the te…

Probably, the upshot is I know to not bother with whatever is being plugged

Been there. It's time to find a more challenging role!

It's the classic HN echo chamber. It's the same people that say nobody uses Amazon anymore, Google search doesn't work, everybody codes in Clojure now etc. etc.

I'm sure if they just explain it like that, it'll bode well

>- don't choose lazy pluralization - eg instead of `names/name`, use `nameList/nameItem` Isn't this just extra noise? If the type of the variable is an Array wouldn't `nameArray` b…

I suppose there's not many other ways to incentivise people in America other than offering them money. Seems like simply informing for the overall benefit of society wouldn't be in…
