Cascii and Why Developers Should Use ASCII Diagrams

“Is that something devs do regularly, ASCII diagrams?” This post is an answer to this editorial challenge. It started after hearing about the Cascii app and reflecting on the fact that the development community still doesn’t have a very efficient way of making and sharing simple diagrams. Cascii itself is a very neat American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) editor or, as the project describes itself, “a web-based ASCII and Unicode diagram builder written in vanilla JavaScript.” It has no dependencies, packing, or libraries. You can just go to the hosted app, or run your own local version by downloading

So what the fuck do i do now?

This has been asked thousands of times already, but what do I do? I tried landing a job, when I came to the interviews, I was blazing through them. All HR's said they liked me, the project managers gave me the same response, and the tech interviews were good, too. But every fucking time the company just closed the vacancy for the job and I was left with: "I am very sorry to tell you that the company closed the job position and we can't proceed with you". Like, bro, when will I start working then? It's been 3 years

How to deal with a poor qualified team member

So as part of my role in the startup company currently it’s just two of us working on the Dev operations team . It mainly building out pipelines and my team member came in over from a coding background with less experience. We get assigned a task every sprint, my team member finishes his task, puts it into code review but often times its very bad code and he just rushes things, feels like it’s from ChatGPT. There’s no testing. He kind of does things his own way. For the last print, under the pretense of integration, I’ve been kind

I made my first app!! And #1 post on r/indiehackers!!

Hey guys, so I’ve spent 6 months coding up an app that I’ve been sitting on for ages. It’s basically Dropbox but for content, a place to keep all your bookmarks related and together. Whether that’s an Instagram post, a website, a YouTube video or a pdf. I posted a video of the app on r/indiehackers this week and got some absolutely great feedback and support, and then it somehow managed to be the most upvoted post of all time on there!!! Absolutely crazy and I’ve had a ball sharing it with them over there, and just generally with everyone

U.S. seized $8.2 million in crypto linked to ‘Romance Baiting’ scams

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has seized over $8.2 million worth of USDT (Tether) cryptocurrency that was stolen via ‘romance baiting’ scams. Previously referred to as ‘pig butchering,’ in this type of financial fraud victims are manipulated into making investments on fraudulent websites/apps that showcase massive returns. Convinced they’re making a profit, the victims invest increasing amounts, but when they attempt to make any significant withdrawals, they hit various problems that prevent them from completing the action. Ultimately, they realize they invested in a fake platform and all their money went straight into the threat actors’ pockets. Blockchain intelligence platform

Nvidia RTX 5090 with missing ROP intentionally sold as “B-Stock” at German retailer

Cutting corners: Supplies of Nvidia’s RTX 50 series graphics cards are so limited that at least one retailer is selling units marked as slightly defective – potentially still selling out at inflated prices. Although Nvidia claims that only a tiny number of desktop GPUs – and no laptop models – suffer from missing ROPs, users should carefully read each product page’s fine print and use diagnostic software to confirm that nothing is amiss. VideoCardz recently spotted German retailer Alternate selling an RTX 5090 graphics card while openly acknowledging that it was missing ROP units, which can degrade gaming performance by

What to Know About a Recession, Home Prices and Mortgage Rates

The economy’s been all over the place lately. Inflation might be coming down, but rising tariffs, stock market dips and global uncertainty are keeping everyone on edge. With mortgage rates bouncing around, homebuyers are asking me, Will housing become more affordable in a recession? After more than 20 years in real estate, I’ve seen my share of ups and downs, from boom times to full-blown crashes, like 2008. The truth? There’s always opportunity, even in a downturn. The market doesn’t stop during a recession. It just shifts. And if you’re ready, that shift can actually work in your favor. TAX
