We all have those tasks in our applications that are not common enough to warrant a project (and another deploy) to make an admin panel, but also are painful to do, because they are tricky or time-consuming. So I'm working on an internal tools building platform to quickly wrangle some admin interface do automate them.
This is currently just a prototype I'm developing, but I'm honestly eager to receive some feedback, as I'm not completely sure about the direction.
I'm building a internal tools engine partially inspired by Interval (RIP).
It will be completely open source from the start and support many languages other than JS.
It is in the very early stage of development, but it would be nice to know if anyone other than me is interested, and if you have any tips on what bothered you in other similar tools or things you would want on it.
This. I used to be very skeptical of anything Blue Origin. But after the CEO change they appear to have changed their attitude for the better.
They are not on SpaceX level, but they are growing recently and I think this test, even with the many problems or things I didn't like (SpaceX spoiled us), it was positive.
You must hear this a lot, but.. do you have any tips on how to break into the field?
Currently I'm a backend engineer, but my initial interest to dive into development was operating systems and networking.
I recently have been improving my knowledge doing some systems related projects and trying to contribute a bit to open source, but getting a role working with that still seems so unreachable not having any formal experience...
Security consultancy companies need to always point out something that needs to be changed, even though it is not really important to show themselves as useful.
And executives don't have enough tech knowledge to discern between security measures that are actually effective or not, so to avoid risks they just make their tech teams implement it because the consultancy said it should be done
Had a similar situation in my current job, and unfortunately it is not something worth picking a fight with senior leadership for.
Ironically most of these companies allow access from Web Browsers (which are completely controlled by the client).
The person is indeed influenced by their environment, but the "adverse experiences" should factor in just that, environmental influences, not actions from the individuals.
I think environment influences can increase the likelihood of those adverse experiences, contact with violent behavior for instance can make a person more likely to be suspended, but a person may have been brought up in a normal family and still be violent and be suspended (i got to know such cases, and they're more common than you imagine), and even a person that had contact with this kind of situation may think that they do not want that for their life and use this as a motivator (also have seen such cases).
But the adverse experiences should focus not on the results, but the causes. What factors are we able to quantify that made this student be held back (uninterested parents? a personality disorder? ...) and how big is the influence of each of them in a person's destiny. Only looking at them we will be able to really learn something meaningful from what happened.
The presentation argues that the adverse experiences cited are outside the individual's control, some of them are and they can have negative effects, i agree, like gun violence or uninterested parents, but others are questionable, like suspensions or being held back in school, which is (in most part) derived directly from the individual's actions.
Since the margins in some of the statistics are so small i wonder how would they look with the adverse experiences ignoring this 2 points.
For me it is obvious that a person who was held back in school and received suspensions will be less likely to be well off when they are older.
This is currently just a prototype I'm developing, but I'm honestly eager to receive some feedback, as I'm not completely sure about the direction.
