rm8x··on What is developer productivity and how to measure it?
this is neat, 'first review time' is definitely one of those softer metrics that can make a meaningful difference
rm8x··on Stop requiring specific technology experience for senior-plus engineers
True in the case of React Native bullshit, false in the case of a native app that isn't just CRUD. A senior without android experience could jump on the apps that are glorified websites and be productive relatively quickly.

A senior without android experience is going to have to learn the platform; this will take longer than learning the language. The pace of change updates the best practices often enough to serve as a kind of catch-up mechanic but native mobile does in fact require domain knowledge. I would be comfortable putting a senior iOS dev on native android but certainly not as the lead.

rm8x··on Show HN: Coding Font – A game to find your favorite coding font
Love this. Would be cool if there was an option to somewhat normalize the sizes. I find myself more often choosing the one I can see more clearly since it is larger, but not sure I'd make the same choice is the smaller font was bumped up to 17 or somesuch.

give Obsidian a look
rm8x··on U.S. to add ‘X’ gender marker on passports
Intersex people are male or female. Male/female comes down to gametes and intersex does not somehow prove that biological sex is a spectrum.
rm8x··on Ask HN: How did an adult ADHD diagnosis help you?
I needed to setup a separate office for work stuff and work stuff only before I really got into a WFH rhythm. Definitely have experiences that match yours in office environment.

rm8x··on Trying to ‘Save’ the Rural Economy
