    To be fair, that’s one of the worst tunnels in any city. I’d rather drive into NYC.

    The thing that changes this is good public transport. Not buses - buses have a mindset issue. Subways, light rail, and bikes for the last mile.

    I would think the build system would only build the binaries or other compiled source. The CI pipeline would build and test.

    BGP and DNS survive due to relative obscurity, despite everyone using it in some way. Web devs do not give a shit about BGP (sadly.)

    It's not "hopeless to manage", learn some networking and be forever rewarded. Same with learning to manage devices, servers, etc. I develop now but I'd be much less valiable withou…

    It's 1000% worth it. The skills bleed over onto Mac, and now Windows. Best skills of my tech life, almost.

    Just firewall off all management interfaces and allow via IP as needed. It's still possible your webserver will get become vulnerable, but you'll prob here about it here if it is.

    Isn't it so relieving now that the pendulum is swinging back? I'm so glad I moved into C# and non-web dev/management and got out of that rat race. Tech always swings back and forth…

    It's not too confusing to me. It gets the IRS off the trail of the actual person getting the money - they don't care that the IRS still wants money - they are confident that it won…

    People remember HIPAA poorly? Ive worked very closly in the industry, and I think it was a net positive. It could have been better, but it sure beat what was there.

    Last I saw her, she had transitioned to WoW and was scraping by running conventions. I wish I remembered her last name, I'm curious what her daughter made of herself.

    My favorite story: growing up, I was really good friends with this girl who's Mom was an Everquest dev (like, the first one.) Post-launch, she became so addicted to her own game, s…

    Yeah, they totally are. You aren't able to, in detail, say, operate on someone while they write in pain. Or, slowly cut up someone with a swored and watch their organs fall out as …
