I’ve been working in the industry for over a decade. I used to love writing code and designing systems on my free time and at work with other colleagues. Nowadays I still love doing side projects and reading tech stuff…

I like the product the company I work for is building, but I hate the area/domain in which I’m working. It’s certainly the most complex area in the company, and they hire more engineers precisely to work on it. When I…

I’m an easy going person, that means if I suggest A and you suggest B (and A and B are functionally equivalent) I’ll go for B. I just don’t care to fight such battles. Nevertheless, from time to time I do suggest A, and…

I’ve been working in the industry (mainly backend and cloud development) for around 15 years. I’ve used a bunch of programming languages and corresponding frameworks, libraries and runtimes, and I have realized I’m not…

My team has one (sometimes two) refinement sessions per sprint (1 sprint = 2 weeks). What we do in these sessions is basically a mini-brainstorming about jira tasks that will go into the next sprint (plus assigning…

I’m always positive about progress. What I love the most about programming/computers/software is that you can use for free the best software out there and as soon as it’s out. No questions asked. No credit card…

So, whenever I read “tricks/hacks/habits that made your life better”, the usual suggestions appear: - don’t drink alcohol (or drink less) - don’t smoke/quit drugs - do regular sports - sleep good enough - engage in…

I’m astonished by the amount of people that are OK with going back to the office because their companies say so. They usually claim things like collaboration is way better in person, socialization is much needed, if you…

So, I imagine that in a few years when playing future video games similar to RDR2, NPCs would be able to answer in a non-fixed way, always within the context of the video game, perhaps even their voices would be also…

So, as other HN users have noted, I also have started to use ChatGPT instead of Grammarly, and boy, what a difference. Now, I’ve heard about this student who got caught for using ChatGPT for writing his university…

In my team we have one tech lead and 2 senior software engineers (including myself). We all have many years of experience in the industry, but the only reason the tech lead is the tech lead is because he’s been in the…

For the ones who work remotely and interact via video calls: what’s your experience? I find that most often than not: - camera off during daily standups. Most of the team (if not all) do not turn on the camera “just”…

iTerm2 is my main terminal on macOS, but the last release was on Nov. 2020. Do you know if they are still working on it? What other alternatives do you recommend for macOS (except Hyper)?

A month ago I accepted an offer (contract is signed) by an European company that recently has announced that is laying off x% of their staff (the announcement has hit the HN front page recently). I haven’t started to…

I’ve switched jobs recently. I have been working at my new place for around 4 months. Company is 100% remote. Managers of all the tech department areas were doing some sort of “socializing events” on Fridays for their…

My goal: run N Ubuntu VMs on a MBP M1 using either host-only or bridged networking mode. On my previous Intel MBP I was using Vagrant and Virtualbox as provider. This worked wonderful. Now, as you may know, Virtualbox…

Been working as a developer for enough time to put on my CV the word “senior”, and I’m looking for another gig. My usual tactic when finding a new job is: - play their game: do countless interviews (phone, hangouts,…
