This usually isn't done, because design/spec no longer exists.

yeah, I actually just re-use claude-code .devcontainer: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/tree/main/.devcont...

I especially like the firewall it has.

I suppose this is harder when the company hosts everything in icloud though...
In what sense?

I have a friend that did that, in a 4y stint there, and was happy to get to one of the layoffs phase. He was fairly lucky with the stock price RSUs vs stock price(though he knew a few that were so lucky that their 100k RSUs grant at sign got to like 800k, not that lucky, but yeah, his 4 years of flying to office made him basically "I can retire whenever I please to".

Most of developers don't understand what opportunity they got into to be highly paid eng with RSUs. My friend is managing 500 people in a factory and gets salary that everyone would laugh at here...

tbf google maps are absolutely shit for car navigation.
ok, it works, only the list function shows it as null...
I think the npm doesn't support end of line comments, so

  ~/.npmrc
  min-release-age=7 # days 
actually doesn't set it at all, please edit your comment.

EDIT: Actually maybe it does? But it's weird because

`npm config list -l` shows: `min-release-age = null` with, and without the comment. so who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

TBH, I do PRs on repos with no other devs just do do self-review, and I did that before AI.
yeah I scooped n950 on some online marketplace for very cheap since it was bricked, fixed it and resold it for profit, but what a beauty of a phone, I wish I kept it.

I moved away from 1000 lines .zshrc when I had to do stuff on linux VMs/dockers and I was lost a lot. But you zsh-autosuggestions, and fzf-tab is not going anywhere.
I used to use postman, before they become greedy, now I use Bruno.

But to your question - I have saved based authenticated request to our company useful APIs - github/jira/artifactory - so when I want to string together some micro tool to do something in batch, I don't have to remember where do I create API key, and how do they accept it.

Funny how somehow in discussions in our country I always have to defend that sorting students is a good thing. A lot of people argue, that best student in average classes will still be great, and will lift the others, from my experience that is not true.

They are selling "dump phone" in form of a watch nowdays, really thinking of getting one for exact same usecase.

Making them? Sure. Sharing them on chinese owned social network? I'd be very very surprised.
To me it sounds like excelent video for making a legal case againts Britanny, I'd be very upset if someone would be secretly recording a meeting with me as a HR person. Guess that depends on a state, but good luck finding another corporate job.

I've spent year and a half writing chef as my first "programming" job, like 6 years ago. I learned almost 0 ruby, and that's probably why ruby didn't stick that much.

Because Google killed it, because it was not for normal people, my circles were mainly developers/researches. Normal people were already on fb and didn't see any value of trying something else.

Same here, it's the only subscription I pay for, worth it imo.
