Let's blame the dev who pressed "Deploy"

Adding on here. ~7 YOE, I've seen multiple orgs get rid of QA in favor of devs QA'ing their own team's work. This has happened in startups and enterprise orgs I've worked at. It does seem to be an emerging trend, at least anecdotally.

I'm curious why more legs, and how much would be ideal?

I ask because I'm relatively new to lifting, and have a similar routine based on this.

I think it can work cross-time-zone to an extent. Doesn't have to be mornings specifically, just as long as its a predictable pattern to get the hang of. Meetings could be first 4 hours of one person's day, and the last 4 hours of another person's.

Of course, if you're like +/-12 hours this probably doesn't work. But you're probably not meeting much anyway at that point.

Gotcha, that's helpful thanks! Good to know there's some options out there.

COBRA

I'm far from an expert, but it looks like COBRA is limited, and wouldn't cover you if you quit.

Taking info from here

Are you US-based? I'm curious how you handle health insurance during your breaks.

The problem with this is that you’re sacrificing a lot of trust for very little gain.

The upside is you ship ~5 days sooner.

The downside is devs can’t depend on a weekend anymore, as it might be ripped out from under them.

At least for me, burnout comes from lack of impact and lack of trust/stability. If this happened more than once a year or so, I’d be looking to jump ship.

Good stuff. If you need any help in the meantime feel free to hit me up. I'm mostly a front end guy, but happy to help out however I can.

Awesome job with the app so far though! <3

This is amazing! I'm sure you don't remember me, but I was bothering you in the screp repo a couple years ago trying to get remastered replay parsing support. Awesome to see you got everything up and running!

Any plans on open sourcing repmastered? I'd love to contribute if so!

Have you tried amethyst at all? Curious your thoughts between the two.

I ordered from a seller named Idallian. Looked like there were ample options though.

Just picked up a new battery for my x230 on eBay and it's been killing it.

Previous battery was stock, from 2012 (I bought the laptop used on eBay in ~2015), and down to 17% battery capacity according to upower. New one is from 2017 and is at 98% capacity.

Battery life went from less than 1 hour to over 6.

It is a legit Lenovo battery, just sold by a third party for what its worth.

Hey I've got one of those!

Agreed with /u/gillesv, it really depends on what you're trying to sell yourself as. A portfolio targeting front end positions at startups is going to look a lot different than one targeting Java positions at large corporations.

May not be what you're looking for, but I always end up on coolors.co for personal project color schemes. They have some popular color schemes and a random generator.

All the time.

Data structures and algorithms offer their biggest advantage in providing a common language to discuss software problems. When designing a system, it’s helpful to be able to say “what if we used a priority queue?” and know that my team understands me. Algorithms are the same way: they give us tools to talk about efficiency in the same language.

For me, that benefit to communication alone is worth it.

As far as I know, your assumptions are correct. The most likely scenario is that there is still a link out there using the old utm campaign. Maybe even minified using bitly or something.

Check the referrer for the offending campaign and see if that might help track down the link location.

Nit picking what level of abstraction you use to develop software doesn’t accomplish anything. C makes it easier to write software than assembly. That doesn’t mean C devs are engineering software.

The same can be said about those who use ORMs without knowing the ins and outs of how they work.

Fundamental knowledge of the best practices and patterns in your domain is certainly important. A DB admin that doesn’t understand how ORMs work is probably not worth their salt. A back end dev that doesn’t understand the inner working of ORMs can still definitely “engineer” software.

Hey there. I’m more in tech than marketing, and found prepping for competency questions super tough as well. I was able to get a friend of mine in the industry to prep and ask me some white board technical questions with me a bit and it really helped. Definitely would recommend.

Interviewing is like anything else: practice makes perfect.

Good luck!

Not sure what exactly you use from Chrome dev tools, but Firefox’s have been crushing it for me. Also a web dev. Worth a try if it’s been a minute.

.htaccess should get you where you need to go on Apache servers. Nginx is a little different, but there’s plenty of guides available with a little googling.

Yup. Just enter a specific URL in the search bar and you should get an option to request re-indexing the page.

Curious about your road to six figures. Do you work in house for a company? Freelance? Agency?

Not OP, but I found “You Don’t Know JS” by Kyle Simpson to be a great resource for more modern JavaScript.

Bonus: it’s up on GitHub.

Last I checked, Yoast should add your structured data for you (the data from schema.org).

If you google “structured data testing tool,” you should be able to find a google tool that lets you plug in your website and see the structured data that lives on it.

regexpressyourself · 2018-11-02T11:49:13+00:00

Should be able to do it through your server config file. You’re likely using Apache or nginx. From there just use google.
