I've used Ubuntu for development for the last 5 years, but due to the quarantine & hardware issues at home, I figured I'd give Windows a shot. With WSL 2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux 2) available, it's gotten so good! I can run our dev stack with similar performance to Ubuntu inside the subsystem, while simultaneously enjoying the larger ecosystem of Windows.

The only major roadblock I encountered was with PHPStorm, as it doesn't have native access to files inside the Linux subsystem due to the different file system format. In the end I opted for running an X server on Windows (via MobaXTerm) and running PHPStorm inside the Linux subsystem.

I wouldn't mind going back to Ubuntu (and probably I'll do so when the quarantine ends), but it was a nice surprise to see how good Windows has become for dev work.

Ask HN: Are there Coursera-like platforms for internal company courses?

Posted by aapokiiso on Thursday January 03, 2019 @03:54AM
from the ask-hn dept.

We would like to provide "courses" on technical topics (such as internal tooling, modules and technologies used) during onboarding for our employees.Has anybody heard of a platform, where you could build your own, private courses? Should have the possibility to include video, pictures, text, assignments, tests etc.

Lamia | Several positions | Helsinki, Finland | Full-Time | Onsite

In English: https://lamia.fi/en/career/open-positions

In Finnish (more openings): https://lamia.fi/ura/avoimet-tyopaikat

Lamia is a digital engineering partner that specializes in ecommerce, ranking as the 4th fastest growing tech company in Finland (Deloitte 2017). Projects are very different in scope and subject - currently one team is migrating a catalog with 10M unique products to a new platform and UI (this is me!), while another recently completed work on an oil trading platform with obscene volumes.

I'm a frontend dev, so implementing the UI is my bread and butter. Roles aren't strictly defined though, and I myself am involved in improving our dev tools (Docker setup, Bamboo for CI etc), while others maintain our amazing internal UI library Scylla, for example.

We're stretched thin especially on senior frontend devs, so if you've got a couple of years under your belt working on UI implementations, and an understanding of modern web development, please do apply! https://lamia.fi/en/career/senior-frontend-developer
