> Solar panels don't have problem with glare

You clearly haven't been on a highway leading straight towards a hillside panel cluster [1] at that particular time of day and year when the reflection trail of the panels passes over the road. It's much worse than going towards dawn or sunset because those are toned down do much by atmospheric attenuation. All you can do is blindly maintaining speed and hoping that nobody in front of you panics. We have a lot to learn about panel placement and permits, maybe we need to deliberately add jitter to panel orientation in locations where the reflection beam would pass over sensitive locations like high speed roads or even go back to heliostat installations there. (Or at least have some minor articulation capabilities to aim the reflection away)

The author doesn't understand the actual value of a full-stack developer.

A full-stack developer is not a 10x ninja developer in every language/technology in the "stack". A full-stack developer is a developer that has good enough understanding of a stack of technologies (say Django for the backend and Vue for the frontend, maybe Swagger in the middle, and PSQL for the database) to help the team fix integration issues between each layer of the stack.

Yeah, I edited my first post. There are many ways to define safety and I really do not wish us to talk over each other so these definitions need to be laid out before we proceed into a preferably non-heated argument. :)

I agree that Turkey does not necessarily count or be perceived as safe to non-Muslim refugees. I am not sure of the percentage of such refugees either. Regarding safety, I can only assume that it is safer living in Turkey than living in an actual war zone, even if you are a non-Muslim. So since Turkey is not a war zone, if you are looking for a way out of a war zone, for safety, then you will settle down in the nearest safe place, unless of course safety is not the only criteria.

I would also like to say that Syria is safe outside of certain areas thanks to the Syrian army and Russia liberating it from the "moderate" rebels (terrorists). If I am wrong, do not hesitate to correct me.

Asylum is to protect someone from immediate harm, they do that by going to the nearest safe place, otherwise, if they want to pick and choose, unfortunately they need to apply for a visa like everyone else and likely would not be entitled to public assistance (free stuff) down that route, so it is not attractive to them. Especially considering the migrant-intent visas or dual intent visas have a high threshold for skills which they likely would not meet and would have to rely on the other visas that prohibit seeking permanent residency, so instead these people from non-war zones just go to whatever country they want, burn their fingertips, and apply for asylum in the place that gives them the most free stuff. EU knows this, hence why they are now paying said economic migrants a way back home where it was safe in the first place.

People are fleeing safe countries, to very specific countries based on their high benefits payout. Such as: being in some areas of Syria is safe, travelling to Turkey, safe, travelling all the way up the EU area to France where they were safe at all points, endangering everybody on a raft to illegally enter the UK, etc. There is no other reason than welfare. If they had family in that country, they can apply for a visa on that.

We also have to note that "immigrants" and "refugees" are not exactly the same thing, but seemingly have used it interchangeably. :/

A pragmatic advantage is that you use different pronouns to refer to multiple different persons (or things, with grammatical gender) in the same sentence without ambiguity. In programming terms, you have a "local variable" slot for each pronoun, instead of just a single one with gender neutrality.

I get your point and would second it, althought it's sometimes hard to see the real cause.

I was developing and bringing out good stuff and I wondered why I would be so down and feel so stressed althought I did what I liked.

It wasn't so much about developing/building stuff itself, but about the outer conditions. No support, more and more work and so on. That is what brought me down, not developing.

That sort of generalist, big picture thinking also puts good full-stack developers in a position to enter management or more systems analysis roles later in their career. The "senior" level full-stack developer of the future may indeed commonly be a CTO in waiting.

No. If the new design is better, I will immediately go "oh wow, that is good". If I have to give it time until my bias goes away, the new design is not necessarily better, merely different.
That's the problem with videos. It's a lot quicker and easier to read a short text and respond to it than to watch a 10+ minute video and then respond. There's been a very large movement towards making videos instead of writing articles, even when a video isn't really necessary or helpful.
As a fellow full stack developer, I can relate. I have been called out for using Optional too broadly in Java because I was trying to treat it like Rust, and I too need to research specific syntax and API on a daily basis. On the other hand, when our company was bought out and I had to change technologies fast I think it was an asset. A year and a half in and I am clearly a senior dev again. Not the owner of any domain anymore, but like the article says, someone they come to to bounce ideas off of, and someone who can identify the cross domain architecture deficiencies with a concept of how to fix them. Also because I have to research constantly, once in a rare while I stumble across an elegant solution the domain experts weren't aware of.

I was going through these comments and most everyone here disagrees with one or two things and other's agree. Art is a subjective thing and I think ultimately at the end of the day it's about giving the developer more options and letting them decide what makes sense to them.
Show HN: Compare your organic traffic with SEO changes done around the same time
Hello HN!

I’ve built a simple tool (https://www.seotrack.co/) that compares your organic traffic with SEO changes done around the same time. SEO changes includes on-page SEO changes, SEO & website errors, changes in internal links, changes in backlinks and google algorithm changes.

It does three things well:
1. Automatically tracks all your SEO changes.
2. Compares it with organic traffic around the same time.
3. And notifies you if anything goes wrong with your SEO.

Few things it doesn’t do are:
1. Tracking JS based websites.
2. Tracking only one sub domains under a domain.

Fixing subdomains and JS based websites is not a priority as of now as majority of the websites (that relies on SEO for traffic) don’t fall under these two categories.

If you want to try this - do leave your details on the website (https://www.seotrack.co/) and I’ll send you the invite in the next few days.

Appreciate your feedback.

Thanks!

Yep, this is exactly how I feel. Sometimes people often fail to perceive the big picture, as well as being so uncomfortable to leave their silos that they won't even venture into the backend / frontend code to debug an issue that has implications through the whole stack.

I'm a full stack developer. I thought I was going to agree with the article, at least for some parts, but I actually disagree completely.

What the article says is true, but you could replace fullstack with any other role, name the article "You'll never be the best" and the article would still be true.

Even if you specialise in something, there will still be others that are better (and if they ridicule you, they are just assholes) and more things to learn anyway.

The author is mentioning a lot of specific technologies (react, databases, python) that, even as a pure "backend engineer" or even a "database specialist" would still face the issues mentioned in the article.

Specialising and going deep is great, as staying broad and doing more stuff. You just need to understand where you stand and what your strengths and weaknesses are. You can always specialise more, and more, and more. Specialise in backend, or actually .NET development, or actually databases, no I mean SQL, actually I mean scaling SQL databases, etc.
Artificial Intelligence – A Promising Career Field of the 21st Century
Don't listen much to this guy. Full stack developers aren't doomed to fail, the only thing that happened here is that this guy failed miserably. He failed because he focused on the wrong things.

If you want to be a full stack developer, the quickest way to get there is to build an entire application all through it's layers by yourself. Front end, backend, and databases. And the more complicated and demanding that application is the faster you will learn. Learn how to do migrations and backups, learn security concepts and how to harden your application, learn about the intricacies of UX and UI design. Know the seven layers of OSI and get your hands dirty with them. Learn actual system programming. Stop using fucking ORMs for your SQL.

Don't do what this guy did and master languages deeply and then think that's what makes you full stack. You could actually get away with lesser understanding of languages and technologies if you are very skilled in knowing how they fit together.
This is pretty cool. Switching up the theme was fun.
Theres something called a parental control and last i checked they were pretty effective for concerned parents.

Google does not need to be in the business of trying to provide parental oversight over creators who just so happen to be minors.

Plus dont we want to retain the ability to profile people who are showing a concerning level of indication that they may be somebody who is willing to act on an impulse to commit paedophilia.

IMHO i think the best course of action to deal with pedophiles on youtube who think they are protected by the annomity of the internet, is to try and develop a way that makes it possible for authorities to obtain enough solid evidence that enables a federal prosecutor to bring up validatably just charges
against youtube users who knowingly attempt to proposition a minor into an act of sex.

Also i need explicitly throw out an IANAL disclaimer right now and point out—— !!! I am NOT a lawyer nor a student of law !!!——before I delve into this more.

But theoretically speaking I think from a prosecutorial point of view (which again i stress that IANAL) it shouldn't be hard to prove a logically sound legal case that a sexually provactive comment that is targeted at a minor subject in a video's public forum (regardless of how vague, indirect, or seriously intended said comment may or may not be composed) this should all be considered knowingly propositioning a minor.
Being jack-of-all-trades and master of one aren't mutually exclusive.

Becoming senior or lead has nothing to do with how deeply you specialize, and everything to do with having an impact and delivering value.
In truth it’s more like jack of all trades, master of one or some. 20 something years ago you didn’t hear the term full stack, you did everything — database to UI — because that’s just what you did.

These days as a consultant, I tell people I’m full stack with more emphasis on the back end.

Sounds like the author is blaming his shortcomings on full-stack development and is making a poorly thought out generalization of what full-stack development entails. Thinking that he can best people who boast many years of experience puts him right where he belongs in terms of experience and being a laughing stock.

More likely than not, he is stuck at mid-level because of his lack of humility and arrogant approach to seniors, traits that would make a terrible technical manager.

You don't always need masters. A full stack engineer will build your a rails app that might work perfectly for the whole life of your business.

Only when your business scales (a lot) that you need people that are more and more specialised. And trust me, the first backend engineer you hire to optimise the backend build by your full stack engineer will probably not be the backend engineer that will be able to scale and shard your database once you reach more and more scale.

Nothing is black and white.

Hey all! I'm Justin, the founder of Graphite. Graphite is a decentralized, secure, and private productivity suite. Think of it as a secure and private alternative to G-Suite and Dropbox. Graphite has been around for about a year now with continued improvements in that time. But today marks the biggest release in its short history.

Version 2 of Graphite brings the promise of user-selected storage providers to fruition. Users can now select Blockstack's Gaia storage, IPFS, Dropbox, or Google Drive. It also brings the introduction of a new authentication option. Previously, users could only sign in with Blockstack. Now, they can sign in with uPort.

Even with these changes, users will be able to collaborate like they always have, and everything remains encrypted with keys the user owns. Graphite, as far as I can tell, is the first app to offer decentralized collaboration across protocols.

There may be some bugs as this was a huge rewrite of the entire app, so please let me know if you find any. But I'd also love general feedback. Thanks!
But if I can enter stuff into the blockchain (And presumably I can, you can't breed pigs by consensus...), why would i care about double-spend?

Blockchain works because it's verifiable. Breeding pigs, digging carbon (in its many forms) out of the ground, turning these things into other things isn't.

Personally, I'd prefer to have a broader albeit less competitive set of knowledges as a full stack (this should be defined, though) developer. I do not see it as a flaw.

Back to my backend days I was on the brink of the burnout but switching to frontend gave me breath of fresh air. When I found a modern frontend as a total mess I started to dig into devops and it surely improved my competencies as a backend either.

1) How did you burnout? so that we can look for red flag situations in the workplace.

I would just sit there staring at my screen and doing nothing. I would get emails/calls and other queries and I would just push everything back to next week. I was tired all the time and just wanted to sleep. I called in sick several times and slept the whole day.

2) How did you get out of it ?

Resigned, then moved out of the country, found a new job and started a plan that included:

Fitness, social life, a good diet, travel, new hobbies.

Be aware though, some people think that just by moving away from a place/job/problem you will get all your problems resolved. When in fact I found that some of the issues I had were related to my personality and who I was rather than anything else. The sooner you recognize this the better for you.
