I thought this might be an interesting read but was super put off to be greeted with a long screed moralizing over my choice of browser. I have 3 different browsers installed that use for various situations and reasons. Getting shamed by an internet stranger is not one of them.

Tools such as babel, webpack, esbuild, postcss, etc. are now considered a bit low-level, and usually do not need to be set up manually these days.

Rather, one would opt for something like vite, the spiritual successor to react-scripts, that bundles all of these tools together with some good defaults/plugins, a means to configure them, and usually also some kind of dev server with hot module reloading, for a complete developer experience using your preferred toolchain.

Check out 'parcel' for something pretty modern, universal, and low effort, IMHO.

Writing the GmailFS HOWTO, and fixing a bug in the process, was my first exposure to the power of OSS. Looking back, I'm pretty sure this is what led me to persue software engineering as a career!

I setup a double entry bookkeeping solution for my LLC that uses Amazon QLDB as a block chain ledger. Not sure if this really counts, but it seemed like a good use case for the tech. I used amazon-qldb-double-entry-sample-java as a starting point if anyone is curious.

Greetings HN,

I have been a professional contractor for the past 12+ years, and programming since I could reach a keyboard. This last year I've been grooming a business partner in order to make an attempt at moving up the value chain from "Software Engineer" to "Software Developer" (implying ownership of the results).

I believe we have developed a strong process, which puts a Lean spin on rigid PMI-style management. We describe it as moving slowly in the right direction over moving quickly in the wrong one.

We are looking to test this process of project management in the real world, possibly even for free, with early adopters willing to provide us quality feedback.

I apologise if this is seems spammy, or if this was not the right venue for this request.

Haha, yup no problem. I saw someone do it once in a youtube video and was like WTH was even that!!?

CTRL+3 to bring up the command pallette. Cheers!

Hi Ted, for what it's worth, this is the first time I've heard of you all, and based on your responses here alone, you converted a sale away from Google Domains today. I look forward to being yet another happy customer!

TotalWar franchise works great in native Linux/Steam. I think I even got better performance than when I played the same (Shogun 2) in Windows on the same laptop. Kudos to CreativeAssembly for backporting all the old releases to the platform. One day all my old purchases just showed up under Linux and was installable without any fuss using the steam interface. Oh yeah, Civilization 5/6 showed up as well. You may want to take a look at what's been added recently. You might find something you like!

> on reading further on this, there seems to have been more outrage at the BBC reporting what was said, as they were asked to do, than at the near murder of the guy in an unprovoked racists attack.

That's modern society in a nutshell for ya. It seems like the priority is more about virtue signaling than it is about seeking truth and justice in all things.

I've been developing software professionally for a little over 12 years, and believe myself to be a fairly component. About a year ago I was flown in for an onsight interview for a fairly high level Sr engineer position at upstairs Amazon. During this interview I was handed a blank piece of paper and a pen to implement a fairly trivial programming task. I couldn't even put a couple nested for loops together. I guess over time it just becomes musscle memory. I was totally befuddled even just trying to write a curly brace.

I bet came across to them as totally incompetent fool... "Slipping through the cracks of multiple pre-screening technical interviews before the onsite..."

FYI I would happily pay a modest yearly subscription fee to any service that would save as much time as yours potentially does. Keep up the great work!

Have you had a chance to check out the Screenplay Pattern at all? I have had great success using Cucumber to stitch together common abilities/actions/question types. My step definitions usually consistent of a single line of words grouped by a few parentheses and commas. Groovy/Kotlin make this particularly nice.

This right here should be the headline selling point on Gemini existing as its own separate protocol segregated from standard HTTP.

This thread is the first I've heard, and up until this comment I was thinking in my head, "sheesh, what kind of value proposition would justify that amount of work. I'm just not seeing it."

It's kind of like what REST was meant to be. More about entities than verbs. Cool. I get it now.
