  • Out of curiosity, do you consider the sentence below to be a direct incitement to actionable violence?

    “It would be patriotic if someone were to stop Person X from enacting their agenda, even if they used force.”

    If yes, what exactly qualifies it as a “direct incitement”?

    Additionally, would you say it makes a difference whether the sentence above is said by Joe Shmoe vs televised and said by a powerful person with many followers hanging at their every word?









  • For me, as primarily a backend dev, the argument was that it’s a framework, unlike React, so you get an everything-in-one solution which is quite easy to setup and use.

    Given that Google still hasn’t killed this one yet, it’s also a mature platform with plenty of articles online on how to use it.

    IIRC the license was also better than React’s, at least last time I checked.

    Not sure on what the landscape looks like today, but when I was making the choice, the internet didn’t seem to consider other solutions to be competitive with either React or Angular.






  • I just beat this level yesterday!

    It becomes easy… Once you know what the tricks are supposed to be, which the game doesn’t tell you at all.

    For me, these were the tips I needed:

    1. There’s a dedicated button for burnout, which makes it super easy to do the 360
    2. the slalom only counts if you do the pillars on one side of the garage BOTH WAYS
    3. To do a backwards 180, drive backwards, then push one direction, then halfway through push the other direction.

    Supposedly the PSX version also has a video in the options menu which shows you a dev completing the course, with button prompts on screen.

    Oh, and there’s a cheat code in-game to skip this level entirely.


  • I’m really not overloaded, I have a very agile team and we usually don’t take more than we can manage.

    But saying you can always, with 100% certainty predict what blockers may arise in the whole next week is a kind of clairvoyance I’m not sure is possible. If it was, we wouldn’t need daily standups in that second week.

    And, once again, Kanban is a thing.

    Please, let’s just not use “all work being done” as a metric for time off.
