Ask HN: Starting my first development job. How should I focus my first month?
I have just accepted an offer for a junior developer role. This is my first job in development and I'm hoping to avoid getting fired for being incompetent in the first month.

I have a background in startups working in app support/DB analyst roles.

The role I'm starting is a backend node.js role focused mostly on AWS Lambda/API Gateway tech. The company is pretty small (3 people).

What should I focus on in the first month to have the best foundation? E.g should I focus mostly on reading the existing codebase, start working on small bugs ASAP, self-study on the tech stack areas I'm less familiar with, etc.

>To conclude my point, I would just say if you feel the creator is helping you with his/her in any way, please try not to use ad blockers! This is the last thing we, creators, expect from readers.

The rub that ad-advocates never seem to mention : ad-affiliate networks really don't give a shit about your readership, and they'll 1) readily serve your readers malware, while 2) avoiding blame or investigation once they do -- and this isn't even mentioning the tracking and privacy concerns one might have with enabling ads within unstable or destabilizing world states.

At one point a few years ago it was said that something like 10-20 percent of unauthorized MMORPG logins was due to targeted malware being spread among fan sites via ad-affiliate networks using key-words and targeted market/interest features.

Provide alternative ways for me to give you my money, if you think I (the reader) gain value from the service.

Advocating for someone to turn off an ad-blocker nowadays is sort of akin to game-developers telling purchasers to disable their firewall to play online. Yeah, that's a solution, but it leads to numerous other issues, and is hugely irresponsible on the part of the developer.

Trusting a third party to serve me relevant and safe ads is a pipe-dream that has yet to come into reality.
At least for TX it's much easier to get that performance today due to relatively recent kernel changes. Unsure about RX though.

A few years ago I worked on the upload service within the YouTube Android app. Shortly after YouTube started using QUIC for video streaming I decided it would be interesting to experiment using QUIC for mobile uploads; my thesis being that its BBR implementation might lead to better throughput on lossy wireless connections and therefore faster mobile uploads. I discovered though when tethered to my dev workstation I wasn't able to break ~100mbit while the native TCP stack was able to saturate the USB-C gigabit ethernet adapter I was using. This problem got the attention of the QUIC folks, which lead to a more detailed investigation than I was capable of and eventually to kernel patches described here: http://vger.kernel.org/lpc_net2018_talks/willemdebruijn-lpc2...

I'd like to think my little project was the major motivator for that work but I'm pretty sure the server efficiency gains described in that paper were a much stronger motivation. :)

I think I can understand what you're saying but you obviously can't understand what I'm saying.

You're objecting to my use of the word foundation for some reason and all I'm getting out of it is why even bother.

But here goes anyway as you may have heard words have multiple meanings and not everyone uses them the same way.

I'm referring to the second meaning of foundation: an underlying basis or principle.

Culture -> society -> civilization

These three things are built on each other.

When one changes all the others are affected without necessarily being destroyed but yes if one is destroyed the others will suffer too.

You're also probably referring to an alternate definition of civilization as in all of humanity whereas if you ask Siri the definition of civilization is literally what I've written so like why all the hate bub?

"The society, culture and way of life in a particular area" i.e inside a corporation.

Mess with the culture and it has outward ripples to the entire way of life duh
I have been using vim as an advanced beginner off and on for more than 15 years I think.

I use it lots of times (not for everything, I also use Visual Studio Code), mainly because it means that I can just ssh over to a VPS and edit a file in there, without having to set up fuse or some other way to edit locally. It seems like less work to just get into files and set up a new VPS. And I know there will be syntax highlighting for everything.

And also I have kind of a sunk cost of finally learning how to do basic things over the course of many years.

But personally, I think that it is embarrassing for people who seriously espouse that modal editing is better than more modern concepts.
The reason we have hjkl for movement is because that is what the terminal was like when vi was invented. And the reason its Escape which is a little inconvenient on modern keyboards is because the Escape key on that terminal was more like where Tab is. And the reason its modal editing is because "real time editing" didn't even generally exist when vi was invented:

"Back in 1970s, terminal screen are 80 columns by 24 lines. There's no real-time editing. You edit by typing a command, then call another command to have the screen update to show the result of your command. Vi's “modal editing” is evolved from this." http://xahlee.info/kbd/keyboard_hardware_and_key_choices.htm...

I would also state it as "hold strong opinions weakly or hold weak opinions strongly".

Unfortunately, though it requires experience to become mature, not all experienced engineers are mature. When you see problems with the tools that you have, do you rail against them because it's not what you want, or do you seek out alternatives and then build them when they don't exist?

Semore Views Drops Red Pills – Fleccas Spotlight
I just discovered this some days ago through a blog (https://www.crackedthecode.co/how-to-use-your-dslr-as-a-webc...) and it worked out quite well. However I did not yet find a way to control the depth of field through aperture in live view because it's always fully open.

It's easier to get friends/a partner, or negotiate for promotion/a raise, or do what you have to to get a better job when you're not fat, sleep-deprived, and spending all you free time on reddit/tumblr/4chan whining about trump/men/women.
I see it as the opposite. Currently the random conversations in remote work occur in back channels, so using a tool like Water Cooler just makes it easier for these conversations to be public, without the hassle of formal invites. Fear of missing out is the same as when some of your team is talking in the break room and you are at your desk, you have to judge for yourself whether the conversation will be valuable enough for you to justify leaving your desk.

You're getting downvoted because it's probably not the reason that the OP was talking about, but sitting on a large wallet - full of cash, receipts or just junk - is VERY bad for your back. And most people don't even realise the damage it's causing. Also, it's insidious in the way that a wallet starts out thin and flat, then slowly gathers remnants of daily life. Getting larger and bulkier by the day.

I'm being totally serious here. If you carry a wallet around in the back pocket of your trousers/pants/jeans whatever, and it's full of junk - even if it's not - and you have chronic back pain, stop doing that! Put it in your front pocket or jacket. Anywhere. I assure you, it's very likely to be causing problems for your lower back.

As a test, just switch the wallet to the other side and sit down. It will either feel great or hurt immediately.

How do you define physical health?
In a sense, nobody is really healthy. We're all afflicted with a long-term progressive wasting disease that has 100% mortality (so far).

You can say 'healthy' is just a good-enough arbitrary cut-off. For mental health, no glaring neuroses, you usually feel good or neutral about yourself, no suicidal ideation, basically just if none of the markers people've said are unhealthy show up.
Sounds like I was unclear.

VC-funded is a structurally and historically bad path to sustainability.

Picking an unsustainable path is OK! People can now have a high salary while working at a risky business operations venture! It's easier to hire better people! I do deep tech, and VC-funded is almost necessary there. VC requires the product to not be good, but so crazy good that you can raise $3M -> $10M -> $20M over 4-5yrs... or close shop. Which is OK!

My caution is for founders to setup up employees & users with misleading expectations as you're getting out the gate: Messaging sustainability when you just lit a timebomb. This particular topic can lead to all sorts of heartache for your team & users as reality hits, and sets up a bad cultural precedent for future ones.

In general shortages are less common than cheapskates. Helium is strange though. It is generally produced as a byproduct of natural gas. This means that its availability is largely driven by an unrelated market that is much larger and more lucrative. There is a big discontinuity in the price of helium as a byproduct and the price of helium as a primary good. Thus the supply of helium is relatively inelastic. Doubling the price does almost nothing to change the quantity supplied.
I personally recall a period around 2013 when suppliers simply did not have helium to sell.
I used spacemacs for a while, but once you use several layers it becomes so slow that it makes VSCode feel snappy.

I also find that because it has such a customized way of doing things it often becomes quite difficult to make your own customizations, especially if you try to follow guides written for pure emacs.

I've just started using doom emacs, another "distribution" around evil-mode. So far I really like it, it is much snappier than spacemacs and the layering and customization system is much closer to traditional emacs.

The meteoritic origin of Tutankhamun's iron dagger blade (2016)
Sorry if I wasn't clear enough, I'll try to be better in the future. I wanted to point out how "scientific research proves people are good after all" type headlines and the foundational problems of psychology as a discipline (including the replication crisis, the shobby practices and huge leaps of conclusion) and the societal need for a calming authority interact.

50 years ago it was all about seeing how we all carry evil within and need to overcome it (Zimbardo, Milgram), today we want to hear "we are fundamentally good". Of course this research is about one specific thing but people don't read it for that reason, just like people don't read many special niche articles usually. This is about us and we seek it out and nod along to these pop sci articles just like people nodded along to a beautiful preach ("of how true were the words of the Father Smith this Sunday"). And I'm not saying science is just another religion, obviously not. But we as a society want it to take on that role.

The issue is best analyzed from the side of why there is so much demand. The question of how the researchers conducted the study is secondary. It's way beyond pedantism on the methodology or trying to say people are bad.

I guess if the above sounds really foreign to you it may take some amount of reading to get a grip on these ideas, which won't fit in this comment. I'm not saying I'm definitely right, but it's at least useful to look at it from this angle.

If it's the same query, it would be the same 100 random rows, wouldn't it? Then repeated queries wouldn't leak.
They probably won't all have the exact same bits affected by radiation, and they vote on the results. The architecture gives you fault tolerance and low likelihood of failure. A rad hardened processor will make the likelihood better, but it's not worth it if it's already good enough.
The only thing getting RCS any real traction is Google seems to be pushing it in their SMS application, and is now running an RCS server for everyone (or something).

Which basically means, instead of having a federated mess as designed to replace the federated mess of SMS and MMS, we'll get a Google mess, maybe. But if Google was any good at making messenger apps, maybe enough people would use one of them that it wouldn't be killed.
Just wanted to say a huge thanks to everyone for sharing their thoughts and stories here. Definitely a lot of food-for-thought in regards to how one can find a better balance in regards to their technology usage.

If I were to summarise, I'd say that the overarching theme (and there may be some selection bias here) is that while it is impossible to disconnect
completely and indefinitely, there is clear value is doing it from time-to-time in order to step back and recontextualize one's relationship
with technology - whether that is through travel, religious practice, external circumstances or a purposeful choice to limit tech usage.

Will definitely be trying a few of the suggested strategies in the short-term to cut back on distractions, but I'm keen to see if I can "engineer" a more long-term break from my phone and computer in the near future.

Thanks for the discussion HN!
I wish it was different, but it isn't. Mtproto v2 seems OK, but it is not default, so hardly used. Server side encryption protects against very little.

I like Telegram, but not for security. Nobody should.
The last time I've done this for an extended period of time was '99, but at that point, I would go stay by a lake in a trailer for the summers (about 3 months). No phone, no tv, no internet, not a single luxury (and I was an internet junkie back then too). Both being away from technology for a few months, as well as being in nature was a great combo.

For a for days, it feels like my mind was emptying out - thinking of songs that were stuck in my head, working out problems that were in the back of my head, etc. Then suddenly my mind kind of quieted down and I was able to really relax in a fundamentally different way.

Coming back, it felt like life had the volume turned down. Commercials seemed even more ridiculous, obnoxious, and loud. Going back to the interrupt driven life was a bit hard, but more because it seemed so silly how stressed out everyone else is.

I felt it was really positive! Moderation might be fine, but I think the important thing for me was being unreachable, and having other people know I was unreachable. Sometimes I'll still do this for a week or two for vacation which is great, going to a national park and doing some hiking, paired with a long road trip.

To be fair, there is good economics out there - not as solid as the sciences of course, because the subject matter is more complex, but it does exist.

The main problem with the role of economics in society is that economics, and often pseudo-economics, are used to influence politics in a biased way.

Economists need to start strict self-policing and disavowing all the dishonest actors in political think tanks. It's difficult to do in practice because some of the dishonest actors get a lot of funding from political interests, but if economists want their discipline to earn respect as a science, they do need to clean up their act in this regard.
Amazing idea.

It just seems like if you rally under the flag of justice, meaning to improve the condition of the world, you also attract people who are interested in retribution and punishment (another element of justice).

Lots of middle-class activists for justice, for example, don't actually seem like most of the poor very much (understandable: the poor are a basket of useful idiot deplorables). They're more motivated by their hatred for the rich, and punishing someone is still justice, even if that won't actually improve the material conditions of the poor (which isn't that big a problem, because some of them are trump voters and we still have to punish them).
I wish this would happen more often, indeed.
these are my favorite features, in no particular order.

* Tons of quality extensions, incredibly easy to install and manage

* Good color schemes

* ssh extension - remote vscode with all your plugins, themes, etc. with basically zero setup

* integrated terminal

I have no doubt that you can get a better vim setup, but getting vim fine-tuned takes a while for me and figuring out what I like. VSCode is convenient and easy, and works on everything, no suprises. Don't have to worry about fonts, terminal colors, config files, etc. I do think the vim plugin for VSCode is garbage compared with the terminal.
