Applies not just to database change-data capture (CDC), but also event-sourcing.

I was lucky to get in on the _Thunder_ VB 1.0 beta and, as an "expert" QuickBASIC developer at the time, was just blown away by how easy it was to create a Windows application (whi…

Your FAQ mentions "free version you can only use it for your personal purpose", yet the license for the components on GitHub is MIT. Can you clarify what exactly is free and what y…

These positions are all labeled as "Hybrid" (2-3 days on-site). Could you clarify that these are 100% remote? If not, please change your post to reflect this.

Is this actually a fully remote position? The job posting does not say clearly that it is. It says "remote" at the top, but in the posting it only says "This job operates in a prof…

I dread upgrading my 2020 iMac, because the screen is still gorgeous, but there's no way to use the screen as a secondary monitor (or is there?). I find the Studio Display to be 2X…

Yes, but: https://twitter.com/nipafx/status/1676908785313492992 "JDK21 is a version, for which many vendors offer support." tl;dr: the Java version is not what gets "long-term supp…

Why not htmx? If your front-end is truly a front-end and there’s not a lot of state needed in the FE, htmx.org might be a great fit.

> POST or PUT to a resource representing the search, then you’re free to redirect and subsequently GETs of this resource can be cached. But that only means that specific instance o…

Sorry, I didn't see anything at the top regarding laws that require disclosure of pay ranges. Did I miss it? Is this not relevant to the postings?

I don't see pay ranges listed for the open roles. If hiring in California you have to disclose a pay range in the job listing.

I don't see pay range(s) listed for the open roles. Not sure how many employees you have, but at least in California, if you have 15 or more, you have to disclose a pay range in th…

Asking me for my Stripe API key is a non-starter (regardless of what you "promise").

Guess that plan to "organically" reduce production[0] and try to gain market share didn't work out so well. [0]: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/samsung-electronics-q4-profit...

I'd love to replace Zoom, but as a trainer/coach, I use it only on a weekly basis with multiple people, I guess you'd call them "strangers" (though they might be "regulars"). I'm u…

Beta testing "Thunder" (code name for VB 1.0) was one of the most exciting things in my career. As a long time QuickBASIC user, looking longingly at those C++ developers writing Wi…

I did a talk that dives into some of these topics, aimed at developers: https://youtu.be/SdvmMPcXK0Q

Best way to learn (as with most things) is by doing. As mentioned, TDD by Example (Kent Beck) is a good start. Pairing or coding in a group ("mob programming" or "ensembling" as it…

Yes. Continuously. There's 3 times to refactor: 1. When you're trying to add a new feature ("prepare"). 2. When the new functionality has been added ("tidy"). 3. When you're trying…

I have a different question: why do folks create a username+password based AuthN system on their own, instead of leveraging OAuth and letting someone else deal with the hard part o…

Nice that this is open-sourced, but would've been useful for clean up work to be done before that happened, e.g., non-standard directory layout (which they admit is a known mistake…
