It's great if you can do that -- some people (I, for one) get such heavy nausea from reading in any kind of transport that the only thing I can do is listen to the music and look at the clouds.
+100. I also dig fnox (encrypted-secrets-in-git) and hk (pre-hooks manager that is actually fast and stays out of the way) by the same author, pretty much default for any project I start nowadays. Though I also use nix…
It's not like OP asked for any criticism to start with, right? This whole thread is pretty good example of why saying "Fools and children should never see half-finished work" exists. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I use Ctrl + <number> to switch between different workspaces on Mac, and half of the time I come back to MS web pages or apps (like Teams) the font is either 9000+pt or then -3pt. Outlook takes the cake though, where…
So 500 people leave for office and turn off the heating at their homes, even if there are other people (kids, elderly) or animals (cats, dogs, birds) living there?
I mean, I've seen enough "django specialists" to end up with queries doing a dozen of join bombs and producing 10 million rows from dataset of maybe 1000 items. So pretty safe to add "ORM" to your last statement.
"Marshmallow test": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_marshmallow_experimen... It was also highlighted (recently?) iirc that it has little to do with discipline and will-power, but is surprisingly affected whether…
It’s trivial to alter or remove log lines without knowing or realizing that it affects some alerting or monitoring somewhere. That’s why there are dedicated monitoring and alerting systems to start with.

Because it's not a text organised into sections, paragraphs and whatnot with html, it's just a plain text file rendered into one big paragraph with whitespace set to `pre` ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Those who needed dual-monitor support probably didn't buy 13" MBPs/Airs to start with?
I use Neovim exclusively for the past 4 years or so. Before that I used WebStorm + sometimes Vim for another 6 years or so. To this day I'm thankful to my colleague and mentor, who introduced me to the basics of Vim…

They're pretty optimistic about how long this script will be in use: ``` if (l_y < 1900 || l_y > 9999) { l_err = 1 ; l_errstring = "Year is invalid."; } ```
I think we're talking about slightly different things here. Running service that I need to develop right now with a lot of local data (or even read-only connection to production mega-db) is one thing. But needing to run…
Running app locally -- yes, there's nothing wrong with that. Running 25 different apps that compose "the platform" only to be able to develop something -- sounds overkill to me.
Oh yea, and also you get that fuzzy "I clicked random things around, so everything should work, because I run everything locally" feeling. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
For instance PostgreSQL's performance might be very different depending on the size of data query has to operate. Also if you deal with something like search results, it gets pretty annoying to deal with "well, I don't…
