My team/org wasn't even in that country, I was just working remotely from it.

I was valued. Then the company laid off the whole country and stopped hiring in that country.

In the end it's just luck.

They get unique characteristics, like all the tomatoes are looking identical and have long shelf life which is important for customers because they "eat with their eyes". They also taste like shit but who cares, right?

Re:Ask HN: Best practice for estimating development tasks? on Thursday January 11, 2018 @07:08AM (#16123132)
I think this kind of thing comes only with experience. Large amounts of experience.

There are simply too many factors to consider. The team, the client, the project.

I usually follow this rule: take the worst case scenario estimate and then double it :)

Re:Getting Started with Webpack 2 on Wednesday November 02, 2016 @05:01AM (#12853138)
I guess most of the changes are 'under the hood', but there are some breaking changes in configuration as well.

"loaders" => "rules" etc.

Re:Ask HN: How do I stop myself being toxic? on Wednesday June 29, 2016 @07:22AM (#12000861)
Well, it can be you simply aren't accustomed to working in very bureaucratic and slow environments. You either go with the flow or switch jobs.

I am toxic myself and I also have problems with it. So I try to constantly "monitor" what I am saying and how I am feeling. Sometimes it just helps to say to yourself "stop, don't overreact" and to force yourself to calm down. Sometimes we make situation out of no situation.

Re:Gaming pays off for two teenagers on Tuesday November 10, 2015 @07:27AM (#10538911)
I thought this article would be about people streaming on twitch and receiving donates.

Because let's be honest, it wasn't really gaming that paid off in this case, but programming and hard work.

Re:Things to Avoid When Writing CSS on Monday October 26, 2015 @09:10AM (#10451128)
I think what author meant here is order of those compiled files. For example, when 'media_queries.css' comes before 'main.css', those media queries will be most likely overwritten.
Re:Stop using React for everything on Wednesday August 26, 2015 @03:08PM (#10125311)
I am using React and all the trendy tooling for my personal projects, even if it's just a simple website. Why? Because that's an opportunity for me to learn new stuff.

I can't use React at work, but I don't want to stagnate either. That's why I'll always be using the most ridiculous trendy technologies for side projects.

I do think that's how most of frontend developers live nowadays.

Well, JavaScript has already gotten the first place. It doesn't get any 'steeper' than that.

Ask HN: How to present new code-styleguide to colleagues?

Frontend department at our company is growing fast, people are working in small teams, but our CSS/HTML is still a mess. I decided to organize a small workshop and present some basic rules: html5 elements, no greedy selectors, no ids, extensibility, flexibility and so on.The question is how to enforce those rules without getting rejection and hate from other developers?

Re:Relaxing with Runcible, the circular 'anti-smartphone' on Monday March 09, 2015 @05:21AM (#9169973)
"It runs on Mozilla's Firefox OS platform and lets you make calls, ask for directions and browse the web. So when you're heading out to grab dinner with friends, you can leave your smartphone at home and avoid the temptations of Facebook, Twitter and Snapchat."

I don't understand these two sentences at all. If you can browse the web, how does it help "avoid the temptation"?

It's a nice looking round thingy, but "anti-smartphone"?..

So it's like PouchDB, but doesn't sync?

It's very small and removes boilerplate, but still isomorphic.

Well, React was designed to be isomorphic. I found it pretty simple.
