darn. hidden in such a place!

and I couldn't believe what I found in there. Apparently MongoDB, which I use only for my work, linked me with my facebook account. This is crazy.

yeah, same thing here. like, how can I explain my wife that is less technical than me, that "hey, this Proton service is great for privacy and all, but you won't have Calendar widgets and notifications when I add stuff to our shared calendars", and she will be like "why?" and I will be doomed. I can accept those things, cause I care more about privacy, but she doesn't and she prefers functionality over that

i am genuinely waiting for it. read the first one almost 10 years ago and it gave me a good start into my programming journey.

even if this second version won't bring in anything new for me, I will be glad to consume it

Magic Trackpad for work? Good, Bad or Fine? (programming.dev)

Is anyone here using Magic Trackpad for work? or rather for a longer periods of time? Not necessarily with a hand over it whole 8 hours, but around 50% of that time.

I’m using a trackball right now and am considering a trackpad for my left hand. At first I would want to replace the trackball/mouse with a trackpad to put relief on my right hand, but I’m also considering using both.

What are your opinions on using the trackpad alone? (I do love it on my macbook, but during my work it’s mostly in clamshell) and what are your opinions on using a trackpad on one side and mouse on the other? is it a bit too much?

Edit: so, I bought it, probably not many will see this edit, but the same will be with comment. Bought and no regrets, it feels really great for daily use. However I am using it with a mouse on the other side. Im left handed, so trackpad on left feels more natural and mouse on the right is useful in some cases.

How do you remain on track with toddlers onboard? (programming.dev)
 

I have been working in the industry for 8 years and am now considered a senior developer, also as a team lead.

Three years ago, my first child was born, and a few months ago, a second one arrived. While I don't regret my decision to have kids at all, I do feel bad about how the lack of free time affects my career and how my knowledge falls behind the industry.

Before having kids, I used to spend a few hours a week on never-ending personal projects to learn new things. However, now I neither have the time nor the energy for that.

The only way that has worked for me is to read some tech books, which are often not about coding, and to read some blogs or subs like this.

However, I feel like this approach is too passive and is not providing the best outcome that I would expect.

Any tips there, perhaps from someone who was is similar situation?

Postman alternatives? (programming.dev)
 

I would like to hear if any of you are using different app for API testing than Postman.

I’m not telling that Postman is bad, but maybe there’s all that I should check out. Recently I tried RapidApi and even tho the app is kinda cool I missed few options and went back to Postman for now.
