I was struggling to find a job and my friend looked at my resume and was like, dude you need to put more bullshit there, add a bunch of stuff, even if it’s fake, no one cares, everyone does it. After so much rejection I was willing to try anything, fortunately a company hired me just around those days. But next time I’ll probably have to take his advice…

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)

I remember when I got here it was a nightmare for the first few months when I didn’t have strong auth. It took several months to open a bank account and you basically can’t do anything without that stuff

Oh yes this QR code bullshit drives me nuts back home too

Been thinking of trying this. Thing is nobody uses cash anymore around here (Nordics). In supermarkets I know for sure I can use cash, but restaurants, bars or small business it’s going to be hit and miss. I guess I’d have to endure the awkwardness of asking in every single place if they take cash or not

Another one of this kind is rm -rf node_modules && npm install

Your .env with production credentials is now up on a public repo

This would be the best way. Unfortunately they made it the other way around. A screen at the door shows the code, and you scan it with the app.

In my previous gym the code was on the app, but I’m not sure anymore if it was static or it changed over time. But the reader on the door was awful, I used to spend a good 3 minutes trying different angles with my phone to make it recognize the code.

Yeah I’ve been saying this to people. Don’t get mad at GDPR, get mad at companies who harvest your data

I like to use cash. Used it all the time. But now I’ve fallen for the bank-card convenience… (especially self-checkout counters).

I’ve been considering to start using cash more again, but also I’ve noticed a bunch of places that don’t take cash anymore :/

Sounds like JavaScript

JavaScript and TypeScript too

I’ve always had this question. When I login with Google, I know what data the website will get from my Google account. But what data can Google get from the website and my usage of it, if any? (besides, of course, that I have an account on said website).

Just a little nitpicking, O(N+10) and O(2N) are not “effectively” the same as O(N). They are truly the same.

Oh man I hadn’t seen a git checkout -b in years haha since they introduced switch and restore, never looked back

Can relate. With colleagues we have daydreamed about opening a bar, a bakery, a hostel on the beach, yet we’re all still here, pressing buttons to make the lights on the screen change.
