Yeah. I feel a lot like this too. I left my most recent job in May and don’t have plans to return to tech anytime soon. To fill my time and to try to do something actually useful, I decided to start writing about learning more and thinking better.

Until you are more experienced. Then you should ignore tutorials and read the manuals.

An intuitive, intelligent performance debugging tool that works for any programming language.

A similar tool that finds common errors like race conditions, missing null checks, etc.

Before it became a TLD, .dev was commonly used as an extension in /etc/hosts to point a fake domain to localhost during development.

These days I use .localhost for that.

On the surface, this sounds like a great idea. The problem is that, once you look at the details, you realize there are none.

How is this going to work? Where does that $68bn get re-allocated? Who will benefit from this? What is the economic advantage of investing in transit infrastructure in dollars and cents?

I've seen a few of these proposals that sell hopes and dreams with no discussion of how it's going to work. Until I see that, I can't support this.

Giving away money is not generally an effective solution. Where is that money going to come from?

Can you clarify what you mean by "transit oriented development"? As a general rule of thumb, 10-20 story tall buildings are an eye sore. I don't think it makes sense to make things denser if it's going to be so ugly that no one wants to live there.

I think it's a stretch to say that the peninsula will remain majority single family home cities. Everywhere I look all I see are new apartment complexes being built.

Yes. :(

Edit: I'm in San Francisco.

Well, it depends. I personally don't feel the need to self-promote to get a raise. I'll probably lose out on a few raises or promotions because of that, but I make a good amount of money and I'm good at what I do. That's enough for me.

You mean you follow good software development practices? Heresy!

Absolutely! Unfortunately, this is very hard to sell to teammates on the SPA bandwagon and management who require all developers to be buzzword-compliant.

Run `( find -E ./ -regex '.*\.jsx?' -print0 | xargs -0 cat ) | wc -l` inside your `node_modules/` folder. It counts lines of code in JS files. Prepare to be sad.
