Sorry to hear you're in that situation. Having been responsible for hiring at a few places I would stress to keep yourself busy and your tech skills active. If you have a big gap with no explanation or activity it's…

> Say “please” and “thank you” a lot. I remember a previous role the team leaders all went on a management training course. Everyone came back and started adding "please" to every request. I found it really patronising…
100%. That's the first thing I want to see after a brief intro.
Amazing. I would absolutely love to sit down with the Secretary of State and test their knowledge of what does of does not consist of of computer.
This makes me hyper sad. Seems Amazon are just making things worse with everything they do. Ever tried to buy something like a USB hub or charge cable off Amazon? Endless suspect brands you've never heard of with poor…
Full disclosure didn't even read the article. But if you wanted to know what programming as a game would look like, play Factorio. Refactoring, decoupling, debugging, it's all there. I played it intensely for 3 weeks…
> Also from a store perspective, any game where shortcuts like this are used tend to be shit games. They don't want spam games to be pumped. There's already enough indie trash platformers that nobody wants. I find this…
I chuckled at: > NewsGuard has a clever way to identify these junk AI-written websites...For example, one site called CountyLocalNews.com had messages like “Sorry, I cannot fulfill this prompt as it goes against ethical…
I find it extremely upsetting that `networkQuality` is the only command that is not entirely lowercase. How did this get through PR??
I actually feel embarrassed for Amazon when I'm trying to checkout and can see all the deceptive tricks they implement to make you sign up. This is one of the richest companies in the world acting like dodgy internet…
Apologies, I'm not up to date in this space, so probably a stupid question but how does this differ to docker compose? My understanding of the value of codespaces was instant start up, literally zero to download…
You should try Godot. Open source and extremely lightweight compared to Unity and Unreal. It's pleasure to use, none of the baggage of the other engines. I'm a patron contributor. Fantastic for hobbyist tinkering and…
With all the those leetcode-style interviews and dynamic programming problems in the interview process, surely the genius "Googlers", the worthy few, that make it through this process wouldn't need to use AI to generate…
There is such a small market for 4 player local co-op indie games, I think you need something really special to grab people's attention. It was an interesting deconstruction though. The bit about the different trailer…
On long enough timescales, capitalism destroys anything good. The root cause behind all of this drama is Reddits need to maximise their valuation, and the impact that has on their decision making.
Thanks - I'm sure there are other uses cases, I didn't mean to imply there weren't, just for me I always associate AOP with a time in my career where nothing useful was ever shipped, but there was lots of pontificating…
Ah this takes me back to my first job. Medical start up, working on a very long term project that the company was completely unequipped to deliver. I was young and keen so didn't appreciate the context, I just did…
Wonderful story and very inspiring. Is programming the only field where you have this strange mix of people coding "as a job" with literally no interest beyond that, and projects like this? It's hard to explain stuff…
How nice to read a long-from piece online, simply and clearly formatted, with no adverts, popups, affiliate links, or such nonsense. Just genuine writing. > The work was the only thing that kept me out of my anxiety. I…
I got sinking feelings of dread and despair reading that, a terrifying insight in to the internal Microsoft mindset.
All these detailed, complicated arguments. Why is homelessness not the same level of problem in the UK? Maybe think about that then consider why it's such an issue in the US.
That API pricing, for what is mostly static content, is just insane. I've created pricing models for write heavy APIs that come out at a fraction of that, while still maintaining a margin. If that's a genuinely "fair"…
