Why chasing titles can derail your actual growth - and why the highest-paid engineers often have the most boring job titles.

This is not my week for using technology. None of these problems was my fault, other than my existing in the universe and the attraction that brought. Today, I wanted to review my Verizon mobile account, and I noticed that the website had changed since my last visit. I clicked

Last year, I started playing Pokemon TCG - a trading card game where you have a deck of own cards and play against an opponent, battling each other with Pokemon of your choice. One aspect of Pokemon TCG is collecting cards, which can be fun on its own, but it can get a bit expensive. Especially with the "Prismatic Evolution" generation, prices skyrocketed, but the Pull rates seemed much lower than on previous generations . "Pull rat....

Yeah, yeah, I know, I know It’s been a minute two and a half years. I left the truck and apparently I left the blog behind with it. Whoops! But the good news is that we’re fixing that right now . What’s new? Oh hey, thanks for asking. Not much has changed on my end, same old, same old: got married, my nonprofit excelled at not-profiting, did some start-up stuff, got some very cute animals, and eventually ended up b..

What is Hugo? Simply put, Hugo generates websites. More specifically, it creates static HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files from your content and a chosen theme. Your content is written in Markdown, with additional configuration in YAML or TOML. There are hundreds of themes available at themes.gohugo.io , most of them freely available under the MIT License. Think of Hugo as a house builder. The theme you choose acts as a blueprint – definin..

One of the big ambitions for the search engine this year has been to enable searching in more languages than English, and a pilot project for this has just been completed, allowing experimental support for German, French and Swedish. These changes are now live for testing, but with an extremely small corpus of documents. As the search engine has been up to this point built with English in mind, some anglo-centric assumptions made it int..

Shape Up replaces two-week sprints with six-week cycles, kills the backlog, and lets small teams decide how to build things. Here is when it works, when it doesn't, and what I think about it after digging in.

For an embedded device, TLS certificate validation presents some unique challenges. The obvious problem is the limited processing power, but the real issue is that a typical root CA bundle is well over 100KB and there may not be enough storage available for it. One possible workaround is simply authenticating the server’s public key based on a hash, similar to how SSH works. While there are some drawbacks, this is secure if implemented cor..

Recently in a Gitlab- CI pipeline I needed to dynamically include several variables that lived inside a yaml-file. The file that needed to be included was defined as a CICD -variable coming from an external API -call that triggered the CI -pipeline. The file were called after version-numbers, e.g. .gitlab/vars/1.0.yml or .gitlab/vars/2.0.yml. This was their content: variables: LONG_VERSION: "1.0.0" SHORT_VERSION: "1" more: varia..

Dylan Field (CEO Figma) [09:02]: "Is natural language the interface? Yes right now. I‘ve said this before but I really believe it, I think we will look back at this era as the MSDOS era of AI, and the prompting and natural language that everyone is doing today is just the start of how we are going to create interfaces to explore latent space. So I cannot wait for an explosion of creativity there. I think of these models as an N-dimensional..

I got asked how I manage papers, notes, and citations for doing research. I started writing out a very long Slack message, but it quickly passed the threshold where I ought to just turn it into a blog post. The short of it: I’m an incorrigible Emacs user, so I do a lot through my editor of choice on my laptop. That said, Zotero is a fabulous piece of technology, and I rely on it heavily to get my work done.

If you use git rebase, the answer to this article’s question is probably yes . You will mostly likely love Jujutsu. Proceed to Part Two . Do not pass Go. Do not collect two hundred dollars. If you don’t use git rebase, you might s..
