Is it wrong that I assume these VPN services are probably honeypots in some way?

As a php coder I’m more fond of Lamborghini.

Doesn’t ycombinator and hacker news have links with this company? Makes it hard to maintain the hacker ethos when this entire site seems so closely linked with such forces.

Porting a giant monolithic JSF app from JSF/Wildfly to two separate apps, a react frontend and a REST Quarkus backend.

First time doing this sort of thing with agents. So far it seems ok?

If it works out it will really help us scale and improve a legacy application that so many depend on at the moment. Wish me luck!

Yeah but large tech companies don’t just operate by breaking laws like this.

People who want healthcare and maybe kids who would like school lunch I guess?

I thought so too about the steam frame. Then I saw the pass through was not good. Pass through for me has made these products so more livable. It was downright shocking how much less isolating it felt to have full color pass through.

Often I hear. “these are so cool! It’s a shame meta makes them.” All of their pivots will fail because of their track record IMo.

These phones need a kill expression or finger. If you touch a sensor with your left pinky or wink at the camera it nukes the phone.

Can a software engineer afford to buy a home on a London salary? Or is it a similar experience to living in the Bay Area?

Most times your land lord won't let you make anything nicer. They basically want the place to degrade around you so that they can low key force you to leave causing you to abandon your rent control.

These artists who do work for tech companies are literally given a day to do this work. Of course they are using AI. They have to. The days of having time to make something great are mostly over.

Throttles are so lame. They make these things motorcycles that pretend to be bicycles ridden at 20+ mph in bike lanes by people who mostly haven’t ridden anything at all for 20 years so they lack the knowledge of etiquette and bicycle handling skills putting a bunch of us a risk IMO.

I love Zulip. We used it before our small firm was purchased by a large company that moved us to teams. Great software!
