People usually mean FAANG jobs with the absurdly overinflated FAANG-level pay when they talk about jobs being hard to come by, to be fair.

I don't even trust AI for tests, except for generating test cases, but even then it usually does something idiotic and I have to think up a bunch of other test cases anyways

Why would I want to read some AI-generated slop? It's no different to spam, other than techbros being okay shoving it everywhere and anywhere it doesn't belong.

For Juniors it's tough (in general, though it's always been tougher in rubyland), because even the most well organized codebases tend to turn into a bit of dynamic magic spaghetti that can b…

I actually had a similar thing happen to me, blazed thru a similar "design an API" type question flawlessly, but they didn't like that I didn't write up a lot of custom code for st…

I could almost respect the hilarity of this defense if it weren't about him having scammed people for (in aggregates) millions

If my math is correct, they scammed roughly $44M from ~11000 people... And the fine is somewhere around $150k? In what universe is that an acceptable punishment? Whoever is running the show here shoul…

I get what you mean, but doctors also go through a decade+ of medical school+being on rotation. Lots of devs out there (myself included) without even a bachelor's. Same reason why classical engin…

I know a few doctors, and you have to keep in mind a lot of them are good people trying to help others as much as they can. They put up with overworking because at the end of the day, they want to be …

It's been a while since I've touched SQP, and most of my experience is with psql, but as far as I can recall if you type commands into the psql console without a semicolon the commands don&#…

Framing it this way also ignores the extremely generous exit package anyone leaving would be getting. I'm extremely happy with my current workplace, but if they dangled the kind of offer Baseca…

My greatest realization with a11y came when I sat down and used screen reader software on my work project and realized how unusable it was for anyone visually impaired. Even tiny things like font size…

You really shouldn't run out the door during and immediately after (as in, as soon as it seems to have stopped) large earthquakes. The building, structurally, will most likely be fine (unless it&…

Or how about we stop excusing megacorps altogether and stomp them both down? This isn't a football team type of competition, its 2 megacorporations that don't give a shit about you and they …

I actually avoided installing Rust originally because I thought that install page was hijacked by an attacker or something. Most languages don't have the prettiest install flows, but a random `cu…

Is 60% of mobile marketshare in the US (over 85% for teens, apparently!) an "arbitrary definition" of a market to you? Plus they're literally the number 1 richest megacorp in the world…

Fela Kuti's incredible

I would recommend anyone who has the means to, to go to Raja Ampat near Papua, specifically by boat. You're in the middle of open water in Indonesian seas with nothing around you for quite a whil…

I live in the Netherlands and have a symmetric 1Gbps connection for 50EUR/month, and I had no idea how privileged that kinda internet speed really is until recently. My ISP's recently told m…

Lol yep, I have HN on 180% on my 4K screen and even then the text is fairly small

iOS exploits are worth the same as Android ones.

That's legitimately insane to me. Plus you don't even get that satisfying clunk of turning the blinkers on. God the future is turning out so lame...

I haven't driven that many different cars in my life, but isn't it usually the stick on the same side as the driver's seat? Aka if the driver's seat is on the right, then the blink…

Teslas don't have physical blinker switches?? That is pure lunacy, are you telling me they're touchscreen activated now?

You have to install software like UnnaturalScrollWheels or Smooze to get sensible mouse scrolling behavior out of MacOS (unless you use the horrific monstrosity of that Apple mouse that you can't…

Can any OS? I've got an (apparently) HDR-capable monitor but genuinely can't tell much of a difference on Win10/11, any Linux distro I've ever tried and my Macbooks provided by my …

Yes? Windows and Linux are by far the majority for most software work according to the SO Developer Survey[0]. Going by the survey, MacOS is 3rd after Win/Linux (of the 3 possible options). [0] …

Good lord no, the hardware is the actual good part of these machines, the OS is a piece of crap hobbled by catering to the lowest common denominator. I wish I could just wipe it off my work M3 pro, ca…

My company is highly intertwined with WA and if they killed it off in the EU, we'd just switch to Signal/Telegram/the millions of other secure messaging services out there ¯ \ _ ( ツ ) _…

The Netherlands doesn't have the US kind of weird zoning laws, yet we're still suffering a housing crisis. The power is simply way too skewed in favor of gigantic companies with coffers that…
