AbeBooks next?

Wouldn't you wanna save the json even if the structure is incorrect?

OP thinks her education is lacking, and wants to deep dive in a language she already uses.

You can send this list to everyone, and people will still struggle. Sometimes I'm just amazed at some folks that join the org and are able to finish tickets in no time. Other times, it doesn't matter how much help you provide: they start to get productive in one part of the system, but moving to another component is a challenge. Without help, they are incapable of advancing.

I wonder if this is the knack that so few software engineers possess, and I'm not talking about the the 10x bunch.

Thought web components were dead

How is it possible to have less than a whole vote?

second vote between two highest voted if none reaches 50% + 1

Ford leaving the country made me go heavy in my VOO contributions. Wouldn't want to live in the U.S., but would definetily leave if there's a coup.

The average folk is using Samsung and Xiaomi around here, not an iPhone btw

This is quintessential HN, rushing to comment before opening a blog post by someone called Sivers

Being healthy - don't know what you got til it's gone

What about life becoming more efficient?

They are rarely good books these days. The fact the Python for Devops has 4.6 rating on Amazon baffles me. The book is unreadable, full of anecdotes that don't add up to anything. And as always, they gotta teach me python once again in the first few dozen pages.

I keep asking myself "what is so brilliant about this book that it deservers 4.6 stars?". Maybe the average developer can't tell bad content from decent.

It is weird to start the day with a Salesforce email in your inbox - had to go checking if it was valid.

The fact that there's entries for Ruby and Ruby on Rails also makes me think this, perhaps this data was just parsed.

Problem is, even if you are careful about who you follow, they will eventually start tweeting about US politics, world views, etc. I follow mostly sports, but can't stand influencer devs, etc.

One exception is wesbos of course, maybe I just like the guy since he not always tweets about programming and I still enjoy his content.

You see, my boss uses this exact quote almost everyday (brazilian as well), and now several teams have plenty of debt, missing patterns, stuff like this. These days people see this quote more like "something is better than nothing at all", and here we are, never satisfied with the engineering practices, always delivering something instead of delivering something good. It takes a cultural revamp to value good code from the beginning

Every person saying "no" is probably part of a full, competent team, that has automated tests for everything, QA folks - that truly understant what they are doing and what are the business requirements, etc, etc.

If you are missing stuff like this, than yes. I'm surprised at the amount of time developers deliver something that doesn't even boot

Last New Years Eve I was cooking with my SO and among other things, we were planning on having rice. I realized at that point that I had bought brown rice by mistake, instead of white rice (small package, both look the same around here). 10 minutes later we had white rice from one these dark stores.

That one time it was really useful.

I'm not sure OP has realised this, with remarks like "indicating cyber bullying".

This feeling goes away the senior you get.

While I understand the sentiment and don't like LinkedIn, I would assume a recruiter view in the app shows aggregated data, or they would be looking at hundreds of profiles everyday.

I also did something similar saying that "My rates start at $150", and recruiters were still contacting me for $13.

~3k to ~5k dollars a month, no vesting, and I'm not sure if there's a bonus structure. At least 22% of the Clojure workfoce make entry-level money by US standards, so the other 78% must be doing pretty good

> If going to an artificial place to get tired every day works for you

So, the office?

If it doesn't work for you, fine, but the gym is a great place to go. Stop discouraging people because you don't like it or having a single goal (physical fitness) is bad.

After learning for years, I settled on Jack Bogle's reversion to the mean, and put 75% of the money in VOO, and 25% I do stock picking.

I check this stuff once a month (I'm not in the US, can't have admiral shares), and than forget about it.

Well, indeed beta:

What about "bestiary"?

Coincidentally happens on the new CEO's first week.

I've been through something very, very similar.

UX person suggests a design that is sprinkled with choices that clearly are from someone that has not been on the web that long, like wrong icons.

We do a meeting and explain what is going on, what the user wants to see on the page, and the UX comes back (usually that same day - how quick of them) with another version, but this version shows that the UX person did not understand the problem again. And again. And again.

I've seen the UX person showing a wireframe to the user and asking 'Will this cover all scenarios?'. Client said yes, we delivered the feature monday, and tuesday client was 'hummm, without the hability to do scenario X, this won't be used'.

The reason the UX person is so beloved between a bunch of devs is only because of the UI aspect of it - it looks good, something we devs could not come up with. But damn, I would love to work with an UX that I feel that knows what she's doing.
