Depends on the amount of room available for them, give them climbing frames, trees, toys, things to keep them engaged. Much safer than allowing them to get hit by cars on nearby roads.

It's been a while since my last run, but I remember an alcohol free beer being a wonderful option

A bit cheaper, between 10 - 15€ per 40cl, but combining tasty beer with the pitcher option was deadly.

This dumbass PR was the offender, people DO NOT specify GitHub repos as Terraform resources unless you can ensure they will not be destroyed!

I feel like AI can replace most management positions, but that's not likely to happen

Remember the hype around XML Data-Binding?

Mobile development rests largely upon choosing the right tools for the job, think of every open source lib we might use on Android. Take away all of that, and you have a lot of uncertain devs overengineering even the smallest of tasks.

iOS is a whole different ecosystem from Android and Kotlin, the developers were unaware of available tooling. They had inherited a lot of ObjC compatibility issues and were still uncertain, architecture decisions were just absurd and archaic, it wasn't a lot of fun to work with

It was a positive aspect, having iOS devs contributing to the KMP platform, sadly the more significant, negative aspect, was having iOS devs, contributing to the KMP platform.

I had the opportunity to work with KMP on both platforms in production at scale, the idea for Kotlin actually came from an iOS team, so getting buy in wasn't an issue.

Have a blast you two, I would have loved to have made it this year, but ... yeah ...

That's the beauty of open development ecosystems, people can decide for themselves, I have neither the time nor the inclination to act as a gatekeeper. Good luck to you.

Allowing devs to build only in their favourite language inhibits growth, it restricts learning and gatekeeps learning to the language of choice, have you thought about maybe learning a new language? Try something that isnt inside your comfort circle? You might need it...

I could reply to this with a comedic meme, but you'd laugh it off as me being dismissive, honestly, this approach has been tried dozens of times, React Native, Flutter, Ionic, Xamarin. I confess to being a PHP developer back in the day, but it's just not appropriate for mobile, sorry.

I keep all of mine, I hope to make a digital collection someday, but that's a real nice patch work

Not sure if you're serious, but grow it while you still can, I see the CDU not being able to repeal it as a rare win in this shit show. At least until next year, when we find out what became of the Autumn review

Probably the wiser choice, I just like the idea of profiting from Elmo's poor decision making

It's important to use a stop-loss limit, with most options the asset bottoms out when its value moves too far in the other direction, basically becoming worthless, still you only lose the value you bet. The key point is not to bet with more money than you can afford to lose.

Absolutely, though I've personally seen people take up vaping in an effort to quit smoking, only to continue smoking and vaping at the same time. Them being marketed as a healthier alternative to smoking lessens the harm they still pose, and are more likely to be taken up by non-smokers.

You could have always shorted them 😜

I can believe this statistic, but vapes have grown much more prevalent, especially with younger people, which I believe can be just as dangerous

Congratulations, that's awesome! I didn't know these kinds of white board algorithm questions are still asked, sounds hella tough! Best of luck with the new position 🎉🤗
