from the look.imwithstupid.fun dept.
So, I'm recently on the market looking for work, and I know everyone wants to creep your GH. I also really needed to practice talking and answering things. So, I broke out Goose, Ollama, and Plan mode, and came up with a free, pointless app to record, and then listen to yourself.
If it helps, use it.
:/ i think the first step is disregarding the thought process that a "Professional job" is not a manual job....that's kind of an insulting thing to say.
Army, Marine Corps, Wildland Firefighting, Owning 3x Coffee Shops, and now Software Dev for 10 years.....
just saying.
None of these are really factual points. Big Shops are place where you just get stuck being a YAML jockey and bantering in RFCs.
Sounds like they need a good grounded tech lead who is working with the PM to assist them in continuity, and organization.
I worked with a wizkid fellah with Aspbergers...and for the first 3 months, absolutely hated it. Then I realized there was a method to the managements madness for him, and after that I got on board. To this day I can't believe how fast that guy wrote some of the code he wrote, and how incredibly nice he was.
Being a genius isn't always better than being organized ;o)
Sorry about that!!! The Prancing Pony podcast.....literally an episode per chapter starting at the silmarillion
This dude's blog has more elitist bullshit than a kardashian orgy
this is the best thing ever posted on HN..... going to restart the lord of the rings podcast now.
Do what's best for the situation, WET/DRY principles both have valid application use cases. They should be used to leverage the most advantageous effect for your usage.
I was the same way to be honest. I ended up taking the parts I liked from spacemacs/lunarvim and adding them. I also started doing all my configs in lua, because it's great
This is really nice...plenty to think on.
Me:
screenshots => desktop, forget to cleanup for 3 years.
In my experience most companies using leetcode thinks their shit don't stink. So i'll leave this where it is.
Companies that use leetcode in interviews are rarely worth the effort or risk/reward to interview for. Getting into a like FAANG dev team is doable by anyone memorising that stuff, but it's rarely worth it.
Try out talking to a recruiter, and find a job with a senior that can help guide your career. Your self-esteem is pretty low, and a good senior and mentor can guide you out of that rut, and into being a senior yourself in no time with the amount of work you say you're putting in.
This is the best article ever posted on hacker news....
if you're looking for this: leopold is your jam.
Logitech makes better mice than keyboards ;oP, upgrade the MX ergo to USB-C and better BT plz.
Huh, they could have just passed on making/scratching another shitty sitcom and kept all 150 employees.
This is what i'm here for.....bravo :P
I love that pricing plan.
most devs just use the terminal in VSCode these days anyways.
Are there _really_ enough terminal users and companies willing to shell out $$$ to make more than 1 million gross per year?
This kind of reminds me of that prettification of the node repl fad a few years ago, but when they switched to pay only people were like "hard naw"
These folks are taking katanas to the tech bubble.
It's cool, I like this methodology a lot because it can piece together functionally really well.
The cognitive overhead from decorators in TypeScript is the thing I have the biggest problem with. It's just one more differential between onboarding code fast, and having to slog through miles of code to figure out what a decorator is doing.
Weird article to be honest.
TypeScript has a lot of features that just generate cognitive overhead that could have been better spent just learning a different language.
I like TypeScript a LOT, but to be honest I only use about 10% of it. Anything more than that and it gets too confusing for the next developer in line to work on the code in my experience.
I just want to point out that a use case is that some people like to conserve resources and the electron app is the biggest resource hog in my ecosystem....
In this thread.....we b.itch & moan about office jobs.
