labarilemon Ask HN: Using Personal GitHub for Work?

Why do you prefer using your personal GitHub account for work?

labarilemon Ask HN: Anyone moved to/currently in the Canary Islands?

Got it.

Where do you usually work there? (e.g. co-working spaces, cafes)

labarilemon Ask HN: Anyone moved to/currently in the Canary Islands?

- Why isn't Santa Cruz prepared for digital nomads?

- How's the beach in Las Palmas?

labarilemon Ask HN: Anyone moved to/currently in the Canary Islands?

Lots of info here. Thanks a lot!

labarilemon Ask HN: Anyone moved to/currently in the Canary Islands?

Thanks for the tip! I'm looking for the best weather since that's one of the main reasons I'm having a look at the Canary Islands.

Are there any cafes/co-working spaces to work in?

labarilemon Ask HN: Anyone moved to/currently in the Canary Islands?

From what I understand, Gran Canaria is more chill than Tenerife (so cost of life might be a bit lower?). Is that right?

Do you know any companies there with distributed teams?

labarilemon Ask HN: What’s your current hot take in software engineering?

Some backend frameworks (of various languages) have way too much abstraction and configuration. This usually means coding a small non-standard feature takes lots of time. But coding only standard (e.g. CRUD) features is fairly quick if you don't have a big framework too.

Also, lots of developers never know what happens below that stuff. Don't get me started on how many people I've seen despairing over "configuration debugging".

Some really big projects can be exceptions to this line of thought. But most teams don't work on those really big projects.

labarilemon Ask HN: What’s your current hot take in software engineering?

Sometimes even single host + docker-compose solves the problem.

labarilemon Ask HN: What’s your current hot take in software engineering?

Sometimes I've had the impression that new FE frameworks (or libraries) arise to solve the complexity problem to then become a big complexity problem themselves.

labarilemon Ask HN: How do I know if im a slow developer?

So this theory could make sense. Some practical advice: don't take it too hard on yourself. If someone says you're slow without backing this claim with data and/or comparisons, you're slow compared to what? Taking into account the startup context, I'd be hardly surprised if they were just trying to make you overwork.

labarilemon Ask HN: How do I know if im a slow developer?

Maybe you're not slow compared to other developers. Maybe they were expecting you to work lots of extra hours?

labarilemon Ask HN: What are the best resources to get started with product management?

Looks like the page only lists tools. I'm actually looking for learning resources like books, courses, blogs etc.

labarilemon Ask HN: Care to share your personal site?

https://marcolabarile.me

Even though there is mostly old content.

labarilemon Ask HN: Are there any communities for solution architects?

I actually mean solution architect in the sense of technical architect (e.g. cloud architect).

labarilemon Show HN: Help Me Decide Please

I was thinking about making something like this, but I never actually started to seriously evaluate the idea. I guess it would be cool to collaborate with other people on this project though.

labarilemon Ask HN: What is your blog and why should I read it?

https://marcolabarile.me (blog)

https://marcolabarile.me/notes (technical notes)

I blog about my experiences in tech and life. Also, I have publicly available technical notes for some of the topics I learned about.

labarilemon Italy is extending its coronavirus quarantine measures to the entire country

Official GitHub repository for COVID-19 data in Italy: https://github.com/pcm-dpc/COVID-19

labarilemon Ask HN: Which are the best resources to learn software architecture?

Still, it may prove useful to know the design patterns terminology. In my experience, it helps when discussing with other software engineers and sometimes interviewers ask you question about those patterns.

labarilemon Ask HN: Which are the best resources to learn software architecture?

Sounds like a good idea. Which functional language(s) would you personally recommend for this use case?

labarilemon Ask HN: What stack is your personal blog built on?

My blog: https://marcolabarile.me/

I'm using GitHub Pages, so Jekyll is the static site generator. As Jekyll theme, I've picked minimal-mistakes: https://github.com/mmistakes/minimal-mistakes

Then I've customized templates to meet my needs. It was quite easy, considering I've never wrote a line of Ruby.
