Two reasons that come to my mind: 1. legal burden of hiring globally 2. while allowing remote work, the company might not be set up for asynchronous communication

I’ve raised similar concerns as well, especially with the same argument about non-development departments.

However, with the Ultimate plan you also get free guest users, which could serve well for most users who are not developers.

That's not true. "GraphQL requests" are _just_ POST requests with a JSON that contains "query" and "variables".

So it's not the request itself that is not debuggable, but maybe the query interpreter on your backend with the framework you're using.

I tried to follow the concept of minimalism a few years ago. For everyone else who is struggling with it: don't stress out because you can't live with one backpack. Yes, you can get rid of a lot of stuff and you should do it, but don't do it too extreme. I don't want to live without my music instruments or my sports (which requires a lot of gear) - don't fall into the trap as I did and feel bad for owning it.

Start small and collect all the stuff you didn't touch for more than 1 year - don't throw it away, just put it in the cellar and after a few months realising you don't need/want it give it away.

but they definitely seem to be underpaying in general

Interesting that you say that. I can't speak for US area, because I live in Europe. Looking at the Spain salary, which is about 110k seems pretty good to me. Working as a senior frontend dev in my area (which has similar costs of living as Barcelona) gets you payed about 30-40% less than that.

How good is the "Blueprint for Phoenix Context" part? I am already working with phoenix/elixir on a daily basis and would be only interested in good examples with contexts.

Maybe in Switzerland - but not in Germany / Austria. If there are so many companies that do this, please tell me :)

When checking out a new branch or planning a new feature - ask yourself, if you would deploy it today and the customer sees it - will he notice it/benefit from it. Of course this does not work for all features/long-term things, but it helps to look at it from a customer perspective. First focus is: customer gets his job done (core features & UX) Second focus is: customer is happy using your product (these are all the other things that are nice to have + UI).

Thanks for the detailed answer and coming up with a property-based test that is not a "1+1=2" example :)

Serious question: How would you suggest to write a test that prevents this? You wouldn't make an assertion on clearTextPassword !== passwordHint. While developing I would think "Who will ever do that? That would be insane".

But yes, even if there is no test, this should have been caught in code review or latest when testing the OS.

Isn't a dealbreaker if you use it like I do and set a global touch bar configuration, which doesn't change. Only useful feature of the touchbar is Touch ID (which works very well). However, regarding your question about productivity: no it doesn't increase nor decrease with the touchbar (especially if you can work with caps lock being the ESC key in vim).

For VIM: I am using CAPS Lock now as ESC key, because there is no physical ESC Key with the touch bar anymore.

Generally: I configured my touch bar to match the old keyboard function keys layout & they never change, no matter if I switch the program. I just don't want to change my behaviour + can't deal with the fact that I can't quickly change volume/brightness + hit play/pause/forward/backwards keys.

How did you get from 10k to 350k in one year? Was it the SaaS products + consulting ?

Interestingly, I still find a lot of value in Messenger. But they've split concerns so you can use that without reactivating your FB account.

Afaik when you deactivate your Facebook account, you have the option to keep the Messenger account, but just deactivate/delete the Facebook account.

Completely agree. It's not only about the skills, but also (from my experience) working for a company isn't that satisfying and motivating as for yourself.

Yes, I am used to it from my day-to-day job. I probably don't test every edge-case as I do in my job, but it just saves me time and brain capacity (at least I have the feeling that the coding part in TDD is the easy one).

I wouldn't say it causes depression, but I see your point. There is a lot of negativity in the comments and sometimes people are harsh because they (think) their opinion is the only right one.

I know the CTO of product hunt - he wouldn't switch the tech stack for no good reason. They already used node ~1-1.5 years ago for some parts of the site. I'd guess that they found out that it works good for them and they switch completely over to node, which also removes some rails legacy code they had.

I kinda like the idea, though maybe 60 questions are a lot to go through. However, a very big improvement would be to show yes/no in the graph/circle in green and red (same color as the buttons). I was confused how many voted for yes/no based on the circle at the first questions

The difference on my machine is not even 50ms - good tradeoff for more responsiveness

Why do you want to track everything? Just for curiosity… I had a jawbone and tracked every meal, but after a while I gave up because the data wasn't valuable for me

Playing Hockey - it's the best sport for me. Very quick and high Intensive and a bit brutal sometimes. I love the feeling of sliding on the ice and the focus you need for the 1-2minutes you're out there for a shift. Also the team aspect is great if you play in a league and train with other guys every week for the playoffs.

It's a really good breakfast. Last summer I tried a keto/low-carb diet and only ate eggs w/ bacon in the morning.. after 3-4 months it was too much and now I can't eat it anymore. So go with something different everyday!

I discover new music with spotify playlists and this works really well for me now. But I've never tried an music recommendation or discovery app... so it could probably be better for me.

Oh maybe we this isn't clear enough in the post, but we shut down our photo-sharing-tool (didn't work out - no retention). The "customer research" tool was only build for our photo-sharing-tool to find photographers.

Last year we started a project (didn't work out) but we had a quit cool method to get emails and sign ups. In our case, we used the data of 500px - you can read about it here: http://saloon.io/geek-approach-to-marketing/

Even if you can't use the same strategy, maybe it gives you an idea for your customer field :)

Congratulations! I also thought about this. I just want to code for me, to get better - without any pressure of clients or coworkers who can help me.

How did you get started with this routine? What was the hardest part / what was your daily goal (amount of commits/hours)?

thanks for sharing :)

I am in the same situation, thanks for this question.

Printing them helps, but I've printed out all of my favourite photos (~15 photos, size: 100*70cm) and it doesn't get me more motivated when I see them. But printing helps if you struggle with self confidence in your photography. (seeing them in a large format makes a big difference)

I don't take that many photos anymore, maybe because I have a higher standard than at the beginning and only think "oh this photo will not turn out that good, I don't make it". On one side, this is good but you don't have practice anymore.

Maybe it's because you don't know what to shoot. I only take my camera with me when I am travelling, I don't discover my environment anymore, like I did before.

Solutions? - Make a challenge (something like 1 photo every month) with topic-based photos - Ask another photographer to go out and shoot with you / or join a photowalk in your area - Ask a girl if she wants to make a shooting. If you don't have the confidence anymore to make good photos, ask a girl you already shooted with.

Looks great, I'll check it out
