Tech has an abundance of people who really need to be right in an argument. I’ve had this same argument with a developer at a client company of mine. Just couldn’t let it go when I said I was comfortable with the Jetbrains suite and used their language specific tooling instead of VSCode.



Hacker News has a monthly Whose Hiring thread which has a remote tag in the template. There’s a website that pulls all the comments out and makes it into a job board of sorts but I can’t remember what it is.


I’ve seen tags used well in general communities, like country specific ones especially. /r/newzealand was strict about their post flair so that people could filter out politics or shitposts if they didn’t want to see it but still wanted to engage with the other content.


I just finished Tears of the Kingdom last week. No spoilers, the final boss fight felt like a dragon ball Z episode. The health bar busting out of its usual bounds and hitting the edge of the screen was a “shit just got real” moment for me and the kids, lots of hype. I didn’t think I would see anything top Breath of the Wild in this generation but glad to be wrong.


I’m old. I’ve been playing Dota2 as my primary game since 2012. It works out to about 500 hours a year or so, which is still a lot but yeah.



Yep just to tack onto this, I find their stuff is fairly easy to stack together as well. Have ended up building my entire home network and security setup with Ubiquiti gear, there’s a good Home Assistant integration if you’re into that.


The one thing I find difficult in Insomnia is making the auth common across a group of requests. I end up duplicating existing requests which doesn’t help if I need to update the process at all. Is there a way to use common auth routines yet?


Obviously!

I didn’t put too much in my intro as I don’t think I’m all that interesting and I didn’t want people to think I was getting a big head. Short version of my relevant bio:

  • I’m a 15+ year veteran of the software dev industry
  • I run a small contracting company (a sub-5 person cooperative)

New mod
Hey everyone 👋 I put my hand up to give Ategon and snowe a hand with moderating this community. Looking forward to seeing the outcome from the community vote on what kind of content we want here. Don't imagine you'll need to hear from me much but feel free to message me if something needs attention.

I could do a bit of moderation if you need some help.
