I work on long horizon scientific tasks with expensive computational tools. In that case users are basically asking for the harness to stop and confirm the cost (and plan) before it goes ahead

Curious how HN is using this information to plan your investing approach. Does the typical approach, broad market globally diversified still hold assuming dedollarization?

I'm curious how you are doing multithreaded in the front-end. You're talking about modifying your global state from a web worker?

My team is currently using this and I've been wondering if there are reasons to move to something like jotai or Zustand. The ergonomics of react-hooks-global-state with TS is quite nice already.

This. Along with a global state library of your choice for everything that is not server related data.

What is the best resource for learning to lead a software team?

I work for a 4 person team within a small company of 60 poeple. Recently my team lead has left the company which left me taking the lead of the group. I'd like to modernize the way we work and develop software. What are the best resources for learning good management practises? From leading a group to implementing good coding practises.

Really enjoyed this piece. Many of my developper colleagues like to boast that emotions have no place in our field. However this is going against human nature and is in my opinion futile.

I wonder how the younger generation is supposed to plan for the future? Even myself as a 30 year old, I'm finding it very difficult to plan my financial future considering traditional personal finance knowledge can become irrelevant within my working life-time. Anyone have resources to guide my financial decisions taking into consideration these dooms-day scenarios? Index-fund investing seems bound to failure with such scenarios.
