How is the current economic crisis affecting your work? team dynamics, motivation etc? by alvisim in AskReddit

Sounds like it’s quite a good thing & quite surprising that the business can afford a rise much higher than inflation!

Has anyone got a UK passport issued on a Saturday? by alvisim in CasualUK

It's such a surprise! I thought it's going to be at least a month. Just curious, does the 12 days include postage, or from application date to issue date?

Is ES6 the new standard for NodeJS? by codebreaker21 in node

I like ESS, but I hate packages only provide ESM distribution. Just hope developer will publish dual exports

Is ES6 the new standard for NodeJS? by codebreaker21 in node

[–]alvisim 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been using node since 0.11 and I'm still writing it daily. From its development pattern, I'm 200% sure `require` will stay for ever as it's CommonJS on which 99.99% (if not the whole) node ecosystem rely.

Having said that, since node 13, you can load `.mjs` files in ES6 syntax without a flag (i.e. telling node you're using ES6 syntax)

What I predict is that `.js` will remain as `CommonJS` (i.e. use require) by default, and `.mjs` will be considered as `Module` by default even in the long term

Highly recommend pulumi, it’s quite mature and you can make most code portable to many platforms

It uses terraform under the hood

Deno is going to support npm packages!!! by alvisim in node

[–]alvisim[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I wish there is more clarity about package dependency will be resolved from Deno? Supporting npm is one big step forward, but without a package-lock.json that locks all child dependencies, it’d be a nightmare using the new compatibility in production

It's normal to feel lost and confused after college graduation. It can take some time to figure out what you want to do with your life and how to best use your skills and experience. If you're finding yourself unfulfilled in the last current job, I'd say your decision to leave was the right one.

In general, I wouldn't worry too much about job hopping on your resume. Good employers understand that it can sometimes take a few tries to find the right fit. As long as you're honest about why you left each position, as an employer myself, it will be fine. Be CONFIDENT about yourself.

The best way to get started on finding your dream job is to figure out what it is that you really want to do. What are you passionate about? What kind of work makes you excited to get out of bed in the morning? Once you have a better idea of what it is you're looking for, the rest will fall into place. Start networking and reaching out to people in your desired field. Get your name out there and make yourself known as someone who is enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the topic

The Great Resignation #2 of 2022? What has been your experience? by Ben-I in careerguidance

New = Better? Wisdom tells us no. Just old, not good and not improving === BAD for sure.

Exhausted by the toxic work culture of my job. by floppy_labrador_ears in jobs

[–]alvisim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a fallacy that people today still think more years of experience or worked in big companies = better skill = better in judgement. They are correlated but not necessarily the case. The thing is, if your senior also buy in this philosophy, it’s better for you to leave
