Re:Don’t Teach During Code Reviews
on Sunday February 05, 2023 @03:13PM (#34668760)
I agree with the everything the author says in this article. But their advice includes teaching during code reviews, so the title is misleading. Explaining the 'why' of a code review comment is teaching, nothing wrong with that IMO.

How does this compare to a traditional Postgres deployment in terms of performance? Time-to-response for queries, latency and so on.

Love cleartax, maybe I'm a bit biased because it was founded by one of my alumnus (from IITG).
Always love seeing projects that indicate focus on code quality and better practices, esp. from Indian companies.
It shows that despite the general culture of doing more in less, frugality, etc; still someone was able to focus on doing something right and making it open source too!

Yeah, UPI is an absolute godsend. EPI looks heavily inspired by UPI. Somewhere I read even USA is looking into a similar system.

Re:Caught in the Study Web

There's lots of communities on the internet. People who do DIY home improvements, gamers, programmers and countless more. Similarly there are people who want to study or be productive. Of course their network spans across platforms, just like any other passion people may have. Giving this phenomena a specific name - "Study Web" makes it seem like it's something well established or institutionalized. Which is just not true. The subtitle of the article "Exploring Gen Z’s Ambitious and Anxiety-Fuelled Pursuit of
Straight A’s Across YouTube, TikTok, Discord, and Twitter" does a much better job of describing the article for what it is. What's next? DIY Web, Music Web, Cat Pictures Web.
Re:Ask HN: What project should I build for my resume as a new grad?

This is something I was wondering as well. I am targeting FAANG and similar companies, what projects would be suitable for such orgs?

Thanks. I was leaning towards making something I've had in my mind since some time now. Maybe I just needed some confirmation.
Why do you wish you'd taken the FAANG path?
Ask HN: What project should I build for my resume as a new grad?
I'd like to get at least one respectable project under my belt before I begin grinding LC and sending out my resume.Looking around I've found two schools of thought -- 1. build something new that you're passionate about; and 2. build a normal business application (think bugtracker) so that a recruiter can easily understand it.What are your thoughts?EDIT: I'll mostly be applying to core tech...

No such issue with UPI. 2FA makes sure no one can do payments from your lost phone; and the signup process for UPI (on a new phone) literally only involves creating a PIN as the bank account associated with your current phone number is added automatically through SMS verification.

Re:Ask HN: How to keep yourself accountable?

Sign your code.
Doing this attaches your reputation to your code. Anybody reading it knows to expect a certain level of quality given it is written by you, and you get the much needed motivation to write good code.
Amazing piece of advice I picked from the Pragmatic Programmer.
Re:Ask HN: How to keep yourself accountable?

Sign your code.
Every piece of code you work on should be signed by you. Your reputation gets attached to your work, fear of what your impression will be on someone reading sloppy code written by you should be motivation enough to write good code.
This is just one of the many useful tips I learned from the Pragmatic Programmer.
