A few years ago I had a side project and now I am considering to continue its development.

Hello all - I apologize in advance for this question, but I would like some help. We are considering two software programs at work for a process function tracking, including email notifications, database for document version control, and maintaining expert qualifications and re-quals (a month other functions).

I created an app for software engineers called Snipman.io >>> https://snipman.io It is a self hosted code snippet management app (currently free to download on Mac and Windows) that basically lets you store snippets by snippet types and tags. I primarily created it because I found myself creating a lot of text files for small code snippets for different programming languages, frameworks, tools, cloud, devOps and technologies for e.g Python, PyTorch, AWS, GCP, Terraform, Kubernetes, Docker etc. This not only resulted in a lot of clutter but also a pain when it came to searching and l ..read more

In my mind there are two types of ~older engineers: those who continue to learn and those who want to maintain and coast. As a younger engineer, I’ve come across both but have found it difficult to navigate the latter. I’m excited to learn and be on the cutting edge with new open source projects but do understand the value in reusability and not reinventing the wheel. At a certain point, I don’t know how to argue with those who don’t want to reason objectively with what make sense for the company in the long term. It seems like it’s an ego thing but, for example, why should we continue using ..read more

Hello coder, Ah, the sweet, incessant reminders of best coding practices—because, clearly, what's better than being nudged about writing proper comments on every single pull request as if my life depended on it? Or setting a reminder to review PRs the moment they hit my inbox, because, obviously, everything else must be secondary to the sacred call of a PR notification. It's truly fascinating how my manager believes in my superhuman capabilities—managing multiple projects, ensuring every comma and period is in its place, and, of course, maintaining the calm composure of a Zen master. Here's a ..read more
