I'm using Arc, and wondering how you synced the toolbar's color to the background.

> In my experience, I have to fight to keep my devs from over engineering their solutions and just get something going.

In practice tho, the grass is always greener on the other side. You either wish the developer had just hacked something to get it going, when the feature failed, or you wished they had put more effort to make it more abstract and scalable, when the feature set for scaling.

Everyone's a genius on hindsight. Getting it right is more of a mix of experience, gut feel and luck imo.

Re:Okta to Acquire Auth0 for $6.5B on Thursday March 04, 2021 @06:07AM (#26340993)
Oh man. Was planning on using Auth0. Never heard of Okta, but reading the comments in here has confirmed my suspicion of the company's core value. Now I'm having doubts.

Which reminds me Facebook's wall worked perfectly for them. On the other hand, I wouldn't mind signing up yet another account among the hundreds of accounts I already have.

Re:Reasons to Learn Redux as a JavaScript Developer on Thursday January 02, 2020 @04:40AM (#21934034)
People need standardization. The docs are usually the source of truth or go-to for any disputes. Whatever's written there is the best practice since literally everyone who uses it would have read it.

I don't mind being targeted as well and if they push me cheaper and better promo all the better. It's despicable however if they start to skew the prices in their favor due to your interest in the item.
As a developer, no one seems to know what's the best solution. But if they're not the one implementing it, then suddenly everyone's an expert and has an opinion.

Perhaps I'm old, but TikTok failed to get me back over and over again.

> But when do you get a free thought that's entirely your own?

You come on a discussion platform like Hackernews to voice your own thoughts and opinions?

So is a discussion platform better for the mind in that sense?

Does that mean the end of uBO in Chrome?
Yes, some how people think the more they estimate, the better they'll be at it. But most tasks are different and the experience isn't as simple as a copy paste from the previous.
Checkout paid themes from wrapbootstrap or themeforest or similar sites.

Call me weird but I like IQ questions. They're fun to do albeit not a fair judge of candidacy.

Re:How to pass a programming interview (2016) on Friday March 08, 2019 @11:44PM (#19344522)
It's a programming "test" right? Sometimes I wonder if it's better to solve the problem in isolation, to show that I can sit on a problem and go at it, or to solve it in a collaborative manner with the interviewer, to show I'd play well in a team.

Sometimes when I read people saying the end goal is not to solve the problem weird. Does that mean those who solved the problem alone by losing a few hairs actually scored worse than an outspoken candidate who solved it with help from the interviewer?

What's wrong with the 2 red flags?
