Could you share what projects you are working on? (tech stack and size) I am mostly working on small to medium sized Next.js and Kotlin projects and Claude works really well, while…

Mediocre is fine for many tasks. What makes a good software engineer is that he spots the few places in every software where mediocre is not good enough.

If you mean the Buddhist meditation: I joined a local group a few years ago. I wasn't super serious about the practice until I saw how directly it can improve my life. Even now it'…

Hey, I just wanted to let you know that I have the _exact_ same issue as you since 2 years. It was much worse than what you described 2 years ago. Now it's just very annoying. The …

When learning new stuff I consider 2 things: - How much fun is the actual learning? - Can I actually apply what I am learning? So I would learn things that are either fun for you t…

What you describe is how development of basic packages that are part or on the level of the standard library should be done. The languages we are currently using will still be used…

How do you think Meta profits off React and PyTorch? Just marketing to get good candidates?

No serious Java code uses booleans to indicate failure or success. It's on the same level as not using a language's standard variable naming scheme. It's not wrong, but something e…

Great idea, that's exactly what I like to do as well. Because many people were interested in some actual code, here is an example that we used for Java: --- public class UserDao { …

One challenge I encountered in the past was syncing data between a SaaS software I built and customers' ERP systems. Building these integrations was an absolute pain because there …

There is difference between expropriation and fair taxation. The problem as far as I can tell are tax loopholes that you can only abuse above some wealth threshold.

That's a good point. I personally always like Angular and React, because even with most simple projects there is this one feature that is so ridiculously complicated that making it…

The point where frameworks like Angular and React pay off and what I think of as complex projects are those where there is a some nontrivial feature. This coukd be a project with 1…

Because in practice there is little value in making easier things easier. While 95% on the web are small projects, 95% of work is done on large projects. Many developers also disli…

I think these eastern concepts (e.g. meditation concepts such as chakras, "organs" in traditional chinese medicine) are not meant as objective truths, but rather as useful mental m…

Small business already have all the relevant characteristics of selling B2B. They have much more in common with a large multinational company than with a consumer, with regard to t…

Here what has worked for us: Talk to potential customers and use very open ended questions. Be upfront that you are doing market research about delivery app usage in restaurants. S…

I cannot speak for OP's sister, but I personally feel gut problems in my back. There is no medical explanation for that, that I am aware of. But when I eat certain foods, I have in…

This is how I think it roughly works where I live: You get a per-user token directly at the bank or via mail (not email, but a physical envelope). Your banking app can use this tok…
