any ratelimits?
legopiece··on Economic Considerations to Optimize Your Remote Work Perk
My company won't publish the different salary zones, so we have to keep asking HR / our managers... it's practically impossible to optimize in that condition.
legopiece··on Increase your productivity with a gaming mouse
Many good points. Would love to see a similar article but focused on using a gaming mouse on Mac. I've never been a fan of the magic mouse's ergonomics...

legopiece··on Live BTC transactions in Twitter hack
Agreed. They are basically telling the scammer(s) to use a more anonymous & untraceable crypto next time, as everyone will be following the coins in that BTC wallet now, which makes it much more difficult to "launder".

I guess the choice of BTC but the scammer(s) was based on its much bigger popularity relative to Monero (many people have a few satoshis somewhere, but not many have some monero lying around)

legopiece··on Tech sector job interviews assess anxiety, not software skills: study
Totally agreed. I've been in the position to evaluate several take-home exercises during the years and they always produced good results
legopiece··on You've only added two lines – why did that take two days?
I totally agree. Having weekly demos where we showcase unfinished features has been, in my experience, one of the main avenues where we have learned of issues / conflicts / problems with those features at exactly the right time where we could still fix them.

Not having demos of incomplete features would just hide the issues until they are released to the final customers, creating a problem you didn't have before, and making it much more complex to solve.

lol I was wondering the same thing. Are you trying to suggest that people upvote based only on headlines without reading the actual source? ¬‿¬
