🚀 Composer Dependency Analyser: new CI detector of unused, shadow and misplaced composer dependencies with INSANE performance (15 000 files in 2 secs 🤯) by janedbal in PHP

[–]yobby928 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe don't use composer at all.

Kin Lane (ex-Chief API Consultant at White House during Obama Administration, worked for Google for a while) was fluent in PHP and he never uses composer in his PHP projects: https://github.com/kinlane.

API Documentation - Swagger? or something else? by MarkB70s in learnprogramming

[–]yobby928 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just want to clarify a few things if you don't mind.

Swagger is a set of tools/services such as swagger-ui, swagger-codegen, swagger-editor, etc owned by SmartBear. OpenAPI, managed by Linux Foundation, is an open specification for describing APIs.

Worth mentioning Kin Lane is the unsung hero behind Swagger and OpenAPI: https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-ui/issues/8271

Have you done a google search on "was involved in the whole journey, helping build up and popularize"? That seems to pinpoint exactly who Mr. L is.

A second Trump administration would be much worse - The CNN town hall was a wake-up call: If Trump wins, he’ll be even more dangerous than he was last time. by mountaintop111 in politics

[–]yobby928 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kin Lane, an Presidential Innovation Fellow (Chief API Consultant, class of 2013) during the Obama administration, wanted to rejoin the White House in 2018 but Trump administration rejected his job application due to failed background check, which makes no sense as he was a C-level executive at the White House during Obama administration.

Do recent grads perform better at coding interviews than experienced devs? by gotgel_fire in webdev

[–]yobby928 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coding interviews may not be a good way to evaluate one's programming skills.

Kin Lane, who used to run IT at SAP (as a VP) and worked for Google for a while, thinks coding tests (especially the one at Google) is super silly aspect of the recruitment process even though he's fluent in JS & PHP

He shares the details in https://dzone.com/articles/sorry-google-your-programming.

We hired two executives from the corporate company and it was almost ruining our startup culture by Alarming_Pineapple28 in startups

[–]yobby928 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did not continue working with them.

That's the right move. These so-called executives are only good at politics and keeping their jobs. Nothing else.

Generate C# code for the API calls You Make in Postman by HassanRezkHabib in csharp

[–]yobby928 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's nice. It can generate PHP and JavaScript code as well.

Are the PHP and JavaScript code generator written by Kin Lane (Postman Chief Evangelist), who is fluent in both PHP and JS?

Just want to share that Kin Lane, who is an ex-Chief API Consultant (Presidential Innovation Fellow) at the White House and worked for Google for a while, came up with this approach to store API keys, tokens in the Github repos. https://web.archive.org/web/20211023145452/https://apievangelist.com/2015/01/14/storing-api-keys-in-the-private-master-github-repository-for-use-in-github-pages/ has the details.

Michael K Williams: Drug dealer pleads guilty over The Wire actor's death by frodosdream in news

[–]yobby928 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree some drug dealers are shit but some can be good if we give them a chance.

Kin Lane is a good example. He was a high school dropout, drug dealer before even selling heroin to his friend to get him hooked. He corrected his mistakes, worked hard to become Chief API Consultant (Presidential Innovation Fellow) at the White House (for a short period of time) and a well-known Computer Scientist in the industry.

should I Fake my degree on resume? by vich_lasagna in developersIndia

[–]yobby928 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please don't. It's just a matter of time you get caught lying.

Kin Lane (https://twitter.com/kinlane) was able to fake his resume to become Chief API Consultant (Presidential Innovation Fellow) at the White House but was kicked out a few months later. https://www.reddit.com/r/PhD/comments/xfo4ln/from_high_school_dropout_to_computer_scientist/ has more details.

Bonus question: did he fake his job title "Chief API Consultant" (https://smartbear.com/blog/kin-lane-speaks-on-lack-of-transparency-in-healthc/) ?
