Came here to say this

“Exploiting immigrants to deliver food”

Yeah, but back then no work, no responsibilities, friends not busy all the time…

Borges mentioned. Amazing writer.

Been having similar case with dev teams who have coded every error to be 500. User typed the wrong URL? 500. User tried to access a page without logging in? 500… Makes detecting real errors a pain

I once read the first 3 chapters of the Git book and my coworkers think I’m some kind of Git wizard

When I was a kid I encountered this problem when I wondered what would happen if I half-empty a bottle of soda, re-fill it with water, and repeat. Will it eventually become just water or will there always be some soda left? It boggled my mind for a while, then I forgot about it until I reached university calculus haha

Haven’t used Skype for years to talk to friends or family, but kept using it until now when I needed to call some place in my home country (usually banks) by “real” phone call, because support via internet either sucks or doesn’t exist at all. Now looking for alternatives…

I have mixed feelings about that company. They have some interesting things “going against the flow” like ditching the cloud and going back to on prem, hating on microservices, advocating against taking money from VCs, and now hiring juniors. On the other hand, the guy is a Musk fanboy and they push some anti-DEI bullshit. Also he’s a TypeScript hater for some reason…

The ideal for me is a good balance. Some new songs mixed with the classics.

Cosmo and Wanda don’t fool anyone nowadays

I feel you. And I work in tech (maybe you do too, idk). Point is, I’d need a bicycle AND a career change…

Taringa, it was the go-to place for everything, especially content in spanish

Football is being killed by FIFA, if anything

Even worse when they make you create an account in their career portal just to apply

Yes indeed it’s pretty technical and content-heavy. It helped me that I took a class in university that covered many of the topics, still a few things went over my head. Maybe it’s time I do a re-read of selected chapters

If you’re asking for real, Designing Data-Intensive Applications is probably the best I’ve ever read (if you’re into that kind of thing)
