I hate these alcohol fueled company parties. Every one of them I've been too (at-least 7) ended up with 1 or more people being fired because they can't handle their drinks. I avoid…

There more things in a pull request other that just reviews. It can run a build pipeline and give feedback, provision test instances to run quick tests. It can also be used to add …

I switched from Claude code to the GitHub copilot app recently. Since our repositories are hosted on GitHub I find the copilot app better integrated for the PR workflow with PR man…

I am learning music. I used codex to create a native metronome app, a circle of fifths app, a practice journal app. I try to build a native app alternatives. I have no plans of pub…

After watching a few seasons of traitors (UK) I feel none of these techniques work and may even end up accusing the wrong person. The show had former detectives and police folks fa…

I have a slight dislike for JSON+REST for API's. The design overhead involved in determining the correct URL and HTTP method adds a layer of subjectivity to the design and bike she…

I don’t think it’s bad on its own, but from my experience, the rollout can be messy and lock people out. Aadhaar in India had long registration queues, biometric issues, and banks …

It’s hard not to be overwhelmed by the Sagrada Família — it feels less like a building and more like a living organism stretching toward the sky. Makes Barcelona along all that it …

Not a fan of the new Safari design. I used to like it for its compact and minimalist look, but now the address bar and tab bar feel like they take up more space than they should.

In my experience, Page Objects sound neat in theory but end up as a leaky abstraction: they mix UI details with test logic, duplicate flows, and make even trivial UI changes ripple…

Part of this is on developers. Refactoring is fine, but too often it turns into yak-shaving and nothing ships. The approach usually works: refactor in small steps and tie it to a f…

Does anybody have tips on how to invalidate a wallet address response if it's intercepted and modified like this?

Surprisingly, no. I make a list know the aisles, pick stuff. But it’s not the same case on the web.

I’ve noticed that every time I open a browser to use the web version of an app, I get distracted and end up browsing unrelated stuff. Switching to a standalone app helps me avoid t…

Used trunk-based dev a lot. Not a fan. It sounds good on paper, but in practice, it gets messy fast and code quality is hard to maintain, especially when teams are remote. What act…

One thing I really appreciated during the peak years of working with XSLT was how much I learned about XPath. Once it clicks, it’s surprisingly intuitive and powerful. I don’t use …

Love this app, saw a guide using this app on an early morning birdsong walk—gave it a try and it's really good. Very accurate and super easy to use. I think a lot of serious bird e…

I’ve had some moderate success with a couple of open-source projects, and I get where you’re coming from. Promotion is hard work, especially if you’re used to just building. Here’s…

> I didn't "get it" the first go round. Same here—I missed it the first time around and found it pretty weird when I finally watched it. But on a recent trip to the Lake District, …

> You’ll find people in every hobby who are more into the gear than the actual activity Honestly, that’s part of the fun for some of us, even early on. I’ve been playing guitar for…

Like others mentioned, this is mostly an ethnic Kazakh tradition, not something specific to Kyrgyzstan. I visited the eagle festival in Ölgii (Mongolia) a year ago, a teenage girl …

Yeah, I’ve spent some time building IntelliJ plugins, and honestly, the authoring experience has some real limitations. It’s not the easiest platform to work with, especially when …
