The autocomplete is nice but I don’t find it a game-changer. The comment about writing tests is on point though, but that’s the only place I found out useful.

They’re asking for TV manufacturers to block a VPN app in the TV. Not to block VPN in general.

If you are being intentional about its use, then you can get a lot out of it. But for some, maybe even most, YouTube is a distraction.

I disagree. I think the default option should be what users expect, and users expect “copy” to do exactly that: copy without modifying the text.

People forget that when Reddit first started, it only supported link submissions and then later self submissions. That’s how imgur got started - it was a gift to the users. It was only relatively recently when Reddit supported image and video hosting.

Totally agree with the dope domain name. Not going to lie, a big reason for picking programming.dev was to be /u/jim@programming.dev

I think it’s good advice to keep your options open and look around to see if there’s any good opportunities every year. It’s good to keep your ear to the ground, even if it’s just networking or browsing through openings and talking to recruiters. But no, you don’t have to change jobs every X number of years.

For our batch workflows, we do have downtime on deploys. It’s by design because 0 downtime doesn’t add any value. Downtime is usually 5 to 10 minutes. For our services, we rely on lambdas or kubernetes rolling deployments so no downtime.

Any specific examples? I never got that impression, but maybe I’m being naive.
