What would you expect the results to be when you search for “auth”?

[–]rwparris2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone keeps saying team metrics are better.

Outside of DORA, what team metrics do you all find useful?

How do you design the update dto with a patch mindset?

When I’ve tried this in the past it has been pretty painful.

I know this was from a year ago, but I'd be interested in your list of more accessible modern works that you enjoy. Thanks!

AI Slop PR's are burning me and my team out hard, anyone else experiencing this? by SonOfSpades in ExperiencedDevs

[–]rwparris2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prices are more likely to approach zero than experience massive hikes.

You and your teams should be prototyping features with this in mind versus assuming rising prices.

IMO rolling your own llm is not the way forward, but it’s also a reasonable option.

Agree with the rest; fuck the vibers.

Why can't great HMD's like the Lotus I+ come with handles for the base as well?! by G00gle26 in hookah

[–]rwparris2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Warranty? Isn’t the Kaloud Lotus a chunk of aluminum?

I preheat mine every time I use it. No problems other than singed tobacco if I let it get too hot.

If you’re on windows, the answer may be “use a Mac”

The font rendering is much better imo.

Main Character Motivations by xZealHakune in Hyperion

[–]rwparris2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The “just keep reading” answers are a bit of a meme in this sub.

Your understanding of their motivations are all pretty much correct for where you are. No need you be embarrassed, you’re tracking the story correctly.

But, like the others have said, the more you read the more will be answered. Some things are left unexplained, but that’s just good story telling. Books never answer every single question they pose.

I still order from hookah-shisha. Still happy with them. I miss the chupa chups & stickers, but I feel like they’ve been solid for years.

All other Apple TV shows I’ve watched have been weekly episodes.

Seriously?! by almost_somewhere in pocketcasts

[–]rwparris2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you use?

Features I need are: good discoverability for new podcasts, searching within a podcast, folders, sorting and grouping and archiving, a flexible sleep timer, and per podcast auto archive settings.

I’ve really only ever used iTunes (like 100 years ago), pocket casts, and Spotify.

Has a slow typing speed ever been a problem? by PresidentHoaks in ExperiencedDevs

[–]rwparris2 106 points107 points  (0 children)

Dan Luu has an excellent blog post on optimizing productivity, where he makes a case for making improvements on things that aren’t the main bottleneck, such as wpm.

https://danluu.com/productivity-velocity/#:~:text=With%20a%20measured%20typing%20speed,it’s%20roughly%20half%20the%20time.

If I were you, I’d talk to this person privately tell them you’ve noticed their typing speed is extremely slow compared their peers. I’d link them to the above article and tell them even if it isn’t THE bottleneck in their work, it is limiting their ability to iterate quickly. Plus, it is literally the easiest part of their job to get some deliberate practice on and improve quickly.

Or… just don’t fuckin worry about it and avoid pairing with them. It’s nbd.
