He used to, but is now stepping into politics, in a conservative / reactionary way. See: https://world.hey.com/dhh/as-i-remember-london-e7d38e64

In the UK there’s a lot of screens on pedestrian walkways, and small adverts on roundabouts but very few motorway (highway) adverts. On the motorway there’s signs for services (res…

This is a reason I’m very keen on making sure tests are focused on requirements rather than code. A few jobs ago I would often be in a team where the entire team had turned over se…

They're ignoring start up successes within Europe. I suspect most complaining about this use Spotify - started in Sweden. Revolut is also very popular for people after a crypto-fri…

Are the testimonials real? They’re all either freelancers or have very vague company names (Tech Innovations Inc, Dynamic Web Solutions) and the project looks brand new.

Yeah this is all a thing in the UK where there’s a lot of highly variable Solar & Wind electricity generation, see https://octopus.energy/smart/intelligent-octopus-go/ Disclaimer: …

I started my career working on gambling apps, and it’s one of my red lines now when looking for work. It’s an evil industry - full of dark patterns. I remember implementing a “canc…

Pretty standard for most cloud services, especially as you get more "cloud-native." If you adopt DynamoDB as your DB of choice - you'll struggle to get off AWS should the need aris…

It looks pretty clear cut to me - and just because MS is massive doesn't mean that someone somewhere hasn't seen this as an opportunity to improve their personal / department KPIs.…

Eh, in my current role (engineer) we have a PM but they’re not all that useful. In theory, they do what you describe, but because they don’t have a technical background they strugg…

Spitballing here but perhaps it's because people don't realise the DevOps work that can be done in a team, rather than just what has to be done. I work in a cultural DevOps place a…

ThePrimeagen did some benchmarks on stream recently - he found Bun to be slightly better in terms of average response time, but the biggest gain was P99 / P99.9 values under heavy …

The article says a few passengers continue on to the final destination, so they’re not saving much in terms of crew / logistics. Maybe it’s an attempt to avoid drawing too much att…

Yeah, new leases were rising 11% as of January - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-65103937.amp . I can’t find a more recent source, newer data looks at the overall market rather…

This doesn’t surprise me. A user has a need - in this case a food diet app. They find this app, think it looks good, and registers their interest. Good. Launch day comes around, th…

I’m not the person you’re replying to but I’d say so. Under $5/month you pay nothing at the moment. https://fly.io/docs/about/pricing/ You need to look at the following for pricing…

My team use GIVEN X AND Y SHOULD Z It works nicely with Jest as you can nest test suites indefinitely, so each GIVEN statement goes in a nested describe block, but it is verbose.

Yeah I agree. If you can merge things into a central branch quickly, it’s much better. In my experience with this sort of process you spend quite a lot of time managing your differ…

5G masts cover a significantly smaller area than 4G, so you need a lot more to provide the same coverage.

I agree with this. In my experience often people want to push the problem to someone else - if you can say in your team status update "I've opened a ticket with X, waiting on them …
