Yep! I love it for simple projects.
That's really neat. It reminds me of generating a CLI based on docstring, which is another pattern that I like a lot.
Yeah? I'm seeing a lot of SDE roles in the $250k+/yr range, and I've never seen tech writing anywhere near there.
What I've seen is that the salary is dramatically lower, and as you noted, the opportunities to advance into management are more more difficult to obtain. (My wife spent time as a technical writer. I work in software…

Absolutely agreed. Brains are bizarre. My mother-in-law once had what we (and her primary physician) believed was a serious flu. The moment we realized that it was much worse than that was when she started calmly…
Yeah, that’s why I said maybe Seattle. I sort of suspect not. (And I live here.)
I’m sure that’s true somewhere like NYC, and maybe it’s even true in Seattle, but it appears to be distinctly less true in smaller towns. In small town America it’s literally just the same cops playing army dress up.
Pretty much all of the experts on this topic disagree with you. My understanding is that in order to have a good voting system you must be able to verify the result even if the software was compromised. It’s a VERY…
> Smoke less This. Seriously. Being just a little high can be really fun! It’s so easy to just keep smoking until you’re a fucking mess, especially if you’re someone who used to smoke more. I feel like smoking all the…
I have no idea what the actual story was, but I would imagine it can be both true and not true in the way you’re imagining. Say you really need new simple scalable storage because X part of your stack has bottlenecks.…
I don’t know the origin story, but that doesn’t discredit anything. Lots of Amazon teams predate AWS, and so does some of their technology. You wouldn’t make a new service and then drop absolutely everything across a…
Sure, but then you’re calling your DB to validate the JWT every time anyway. You’ve just removed the whole “JWTs are cool because they’re stateless” benefit.
Very cool! I think fuzzers are SO interesting. One of my favorite examples is lcamtuf’s post on generating valid JPGs from nothing [1]. Just so awesome. 1: https://lcamtuf.blogspot.com/2014/11/pulling-jpegs-out-of-th...

Client side development in general. Libraries, SDKs, etc, are also generally lower stress. They don’t tend to just break in the middle of the night or whatever.
I’m sure that’s true, but my point is that if you have that much money riding on a system you should have to figuratively (if not literally!) put two keys in and turn the lock at the same time to break shit. There…
Oh no. I hope you find another time in your life where you’re treated as well as you were then.
The longer I work the more convinced I become that kindness is critical. 22 year old me would not agree, but he was wrong.
Sounds like someone else’s fault, unless he owned and designed the system. No single engineer should be able to cause that kind of damage. Quorum rules, etc.
Ubuntu is certainly not known as a lightweight distro.
I’m curious to hear more about what the device itself was doing. It’s doing RSA decryption, of course, but is that it? Can we still recover “d” if the phone is doing other stuff at the same time? I wonder if…
I’m curious how reliably you could distinguish the act of exponentiaton from other activity if the phone was just sitting on a table. (Or if it was being actively used, but you weren’t able to see what was happening.)
Right?? Apparently everyone on blind is making $400k TC with four years of experience.
