Looking for ideas here! New machine will be on OS X. I am currently playing around with Ansible and for now I am able to set up much of the non-dev applications + `pnpm`, `ruby`, `go`. (I based a lot of it on…

Hi folks, what's your blogging workflow? I'm thinking tools (Jekyll, Gatsby, Wordpress), deployment (gh-pages, Netlify, AWS?), commenting (Disqus/own?), feedback forms (Formspree?), etc. What do you use? (Used to do…

I've prepared a bunch, but anyone have any tips/experiences/what to expect? I'll be talking about things I've learned to get better as a developer (junior -> intermediate).

Hi all. I've been reading and applying a bunch of stuff from personal development/self-improvement lately. Honestly, at first I thought it was lame but I've gotten real productive lately. Things like scheduling the…

I'm looking to hear stories from old (completely subjective and I hope not an impolitically correct term, I'm not from the US) programmers/hackers. Did you transition out of programming at some point or do you still…

So for the past few years, I've done some deployment/setting up my servers on AWS, but I feel like I'm just really doing the basic things.(setting up a VPC, spinning up servers etc.) I'm still in the process of…

Just recently discovered meditation and fasting, and while I've only been doing them for a few weeks, they've had a big effect on me. I'd like to see what other helpful routines are there. How do you go about your days?

Hi guys, how do you get better at writing?(General/tactical advice welcome.) In the past few months, I've written a lot of drafts, but it's so hard to publish posts. I just can't get sentence construction (for now, I…

I was wondering, what were really valuable resources for you as a dev, either when you were starting out or when you had a bunch of years of experience. What's some event that changed the way you approached programming?…

It could also be someone else's. What happened that day, and what techniques have you developed to try to recreate that day? I'm asking because I've been more productive these past weeks since I completely blocked out…

I'll be applying for jobs soon. I'm a Rails dev with 4 years exp, currently learning Elixir. I've just created a blog for my future employer and potentially future clients, gotten testimonials from my previous clients,…

Hi folks. I've been reviewing/looking at job posts recently and I've always wondered, how do people get better at securing their app? I can read books about it (Also, what are your book/blog recommendations?), but how…

I'll soon approach my 5 year anniversary of having a paid programming job. As most of you in the same position would attest, we're basically different people and many times the programmers when we first started. I used…

Yup what it says. I feel like I'm somewhere in the middle. I've led a software project before but there were just 3 developers in our team and I had the most experience. I also review their code while doing coding…

How's it been? I'm thinking of relocating soon, moving countries. I'd just like to ask for some stories. Things you discovered, things you didn't realize you needed, etc.

Hi, I've read a lot about intermittent fasting. Currently, I'm eating 2 meals a day (breakfast/lunch), but at the end of the days I find it really hard to concentrate on code/working. I can do other things like reading…
