Because it sucks. I tell it to turn off all of my alarms and instead it ends up calling my mother at 4 in the morning, causing her to panic, thinking there's an emergency.
After nearly slamming my mind-bogglingly slow, gimped, company owned Dell Precision 5530 against the wall today, I've decided I want to work for a company that values my time and developer experience and provides a M2 machine. Working with sub-par hardware is really starting to take its toll. I briefly tested out a M1 MBP and was incredibly impressed. I've been planning on replacing my personal 2018 MBP with one of these newer M2 (or better) machines when hacky solutions aren't required in order to drive multiple displays
I don't have anything to add to the conversation other than to say that this is fantastic technical writing (and content too). Most of the time, when similar articles like this one are posted to company blogs, they bore me to tears and I can't finish them, but this is very engaging and informative. Cheers
A lot of people in this industry are not going to like it, but this post needed to be written and is 100% spot on. Wake me up when I can go to an "about our team" page for any of the companies posted on here and not see virtually the same exact team picture, from a diversity perspective, for nearly every company.
This sounds like a good idea that I would really like to try, for my own sanity if for nothing else. For me, the issue—imagined or not—would arise in the Friday morning daily stand-up. I’m not sure it would go over well if I said that I intend to spend part of the day doing PRs (this is fine and expected) and the other part learning/researching (likely not).
Oh the joys of the JIRA sweatshop. We have JIRA pulled up on the big screen TV and the product guys cycle through the status of each dev team members’ items during each daily standup. This is my first development job, surely it’s not like this everywhere?
Tried this for a few minutes at work (very heavy SQL Server shop). It doesn't play well with databases that have different schemas but the same table name.
schema1.users
schema2.users
schema3.users
schema4.users
The auto-complete seems to always choose the last one and it displays it as 'users' with no indication of the schema. This alone makes this unusable for me at the present time
I have long since switched to Ghostery ever since Disconnect frequently broke YouTube videos and nothing was ever done to fix it. Does anyone know if this problem still persists?
It's always interesting to see these types of posts on HN. I disliked the whole 'law thing' so much that after graduating from law school and passing the bar, I never applied for a single legal job but instead went into tech (which has been my true passion since I was 9 years old). In my case, I learned that it's always a bad idea to live out someone else's dreams instead of your own. In other words: don't go to law school simply because your parents/spouse/etc want you to.
