SEEKING WORK - REMOTE, part time US time zone would be ideal as I could work in the evening. Location: Copenhagen, Denmark Willing to relocate: No Technologies: Web, Typescript, Angular, Angular CDK, Scss, Node

I'm software engineer with 10 years of experience, currently working as a frontend architect on a project involving multiple POs, UX team, 3 local feature teams(FE+BE) and few remote teams starting up.

Historically I've done full stack with Node, PHP, .NET, Java(Android) but over last 4 years I've focused exclusively on frontend with Angular. I was key driver for migration from AngularJS to v5. Today we are on v12. I've also landed some fixes to angular itself and 2 small features in Angular CLI (http client context is one of them).

I'm one of the guys who is excellent at problem solving, is more than happy to tackle more difficult technical problems and help others.

Oh my, so much code for document.body.classList.toggle('dark-mode', !!locaStorage.darkMode)

I am glad that Sony Z5 has a camera button, it is much nicer and more natural to use than trying to touch the screen

How about cookie policy popups/notifications/extra-top -bar? It's getting increasingly annoying to browse the Web. Basically you have to close some signup modal, cookie warning, chat head before you can start reading the content only to get another blocking modal right after scrolling - which will 'kindly' ask you to disable ad blocker... It's getting better and better!

For anyone using github and heroku - this may be convenient, but for anyone on bitbucket side - there is built in alternative (even within free tier). I'd say that they are quite late in the game

I also hate when apps are doing this, especially when you can't disable it! I really don't know how doing that benefits the user.

Recently I was bit by Instagram app on ios (reported by the client, I am an android user) - it even breaks their own login flow! E.g. You can't open a link from within their app and login to some 3rd party site via Instagram. It simply times out and doesn't even replace the page - thus hides the actual problem. What is worse, is that typical user would blame site developers for this. In the end I had to refactor the flow to avoid login when user is coming from the app...

If you choose to do this, do it this right!

I've never found it convenient to use. Touchpad with multi-touch (for scrolling) is much better and for any serious work not going to switch from a dedicated mouse (anywhere mx/mx2).I am not sure what people's issues are with such input. Disclaimer: I am software developer

Until performance becomes a critical issue and then you have to deal with increased costs (hardware), caching, complexity... And if you happen to pair service with its own database (trustpilot), aggregating data for statistical reason becomes even more 'fun'.

fdim | 9 years ago | on: My Pixel has a manufacturing defect

I expect manufacturer to take care of the case, custom ones just makes the phone thicker/heavier, but who knows - maybe in the future we will be buying 'case-less/naked' phones and 3rd party cases depending on the protection level needed.

Thinking about, idea doesn't sound too bad.
