We just left the 20 year "Forever War", not much difference in terms of the ability for the state to steal tax payer dollars and give it to private companies. History repeating.
It's exactly as effective as they want it to be. 20 years of siphoning out money from public to private enterprises all in the name of a war on terror.
Yea, I like to use a framework. But I think devs should have the basics down about css. Like margins, padding, div vs. span, etc. I remember reading a css book on vacation in Aruba like 10 years ago, and just having the basics helps considerably, especially when just trying to debug small layout changes.
I completely agree that all the occupations you listed, are way more important, especially parents. I'm a little on the fence on teachers now, because I feel too many are teaching from an agenda playbook, rather than to make our little ones actually smarter. But, the point you made, is exactly the point. We as a society are trying to build something more, whether that is get to Mars, have autonomous cars, or even have social media that is able to completely control us. I agree, calling people resources, or talking strictly about butts in seats is what people that are attempting to be soulless do. But everyone that is "powerful" today needs developers way more than they care to admit. It is amazing to me how many people I know wish they could be developers, like have actually said those words to me. Mind you, these are people that want to be more successful, and thus need to "build" things at scale, and are thus reliant on developers. And having to pay someone 200K or 300K or 400K to do something they could do if they just had the time (or at least they think that) drives them mad.
I would say it is safe to say, developers, are the most valuable resource period. At least as far as human capital is concerned, and that is going to keep increasing and increasing until AI takes over.
The flu killed an estimated 50 million people in 1918, which if it was in current times would be about 250 million. People always get mad when others say it is just like the flu, but actually the flu has had way worse outbreaks than covid.
Well I have been shouting at the heavens about how this was overreach since March of 2020. Good to see many more people on HN realizing what is playing out. Moved the frickin whole family out of LA cause I knew they weren't gonna stop. Now it is a contest between CA and NY of who can be the most authoritarian. Meanwhile, down here in the south, everyone is fairly over this charade.
So everything is done between the client app and AWS. Under the hood it is using the AWS SDK. We don't store any keys or any of your data on our servers. So, the user has to have access keys, and they can also have their session token. We also have it setup that it can read from your .aws/credentials file, so if you have a process that automatically updates that file, the session token is also automatically updated in the app.
I never have issues with Hangouts. I think Zoom is a slightly better experience, but just making a Calendar invite in Google Calendar, and it automatically having the Hangout meeting is pretty nice.
There is a risk with it that you just ignore it. We always put it into a separate room for dev staging and prod. So, what will often happen is you might start to see more errors occurring once you push to staging and your tests are running. It doesn't replace tests and the like, and isn't a cure all in terms of how to handle errors, but I have found it pretty helpful. Especially with serverless, because observability is one of the hardest parts of this paradigm.
In the systems I build, I always have the lambda's throw the error to Slack. I have been told many times, that is crazy, and that it doesn't scale. By guess what, when a developer's errors are blowing up a slack channel, they always get fixed.
What am I denying? That it is a hot summer. Or that I don't believe in climate change. For one, the records for temperature only go back a 100 years or so, so I would call it statistically insignificant. But, secondly, I truly would like to know what us as a people are actually going to do about it? Nobody on HN is going to give up their devices, or stop buying crypto that uses massive amounts of energy to produce. I just feel that the genie is out of the bottle in regards to the fact that the world will keep on producing more and more regardless of how people interpret weather patterns.
