When looking at #dependencies for a #software project, I usually start at the code repository. That's always been the entrypoint I gravitate towards, but unfortunately results in the following workflow quite often:
1. Navigate to repo.
2. Read README.
3. Navigate to docs link.
4. Find that the first page of the docs is the exact same README I just read, including a self-referential link to the docs that I'm already on.
5. Find the actual unique starting point in the docs.

I don't think I'd go as far as to say that people should stop making their README the default front page of their docs. Maybe the majority of people are navigating directly to the docs from a search result, making the presence of the README legitimately helpful.

But for me, going to the repo first helps me to ensure that I'm in the right place, and not e.g. browsing the docs of some fork. With that in mind, Maybe project maintainers could link from their repo to a specific starting point in their docs, rather than the docs site in general?

#Introduction posts seem to play a big part in the culture here so, while I tend to post infrequently, I'll jump in:

My interests revolve around tech, mainly #infosec and #SoftwareDev, but given that I spend workdays in front of a computer, I like to keep that balanced with non-tech stuff in my spare time: #cycling, #gardening, hanging out with my #dog and such.

Time for a #jobSearch post!

I'm looking for a #typeScript / #python / #RustLang 100% #remote #softwareDev position, both contract and permanent, GMT+2 timezone.

I previously worked as a Senior / Lead / Principal #fullStack developer with #cyberSecurity , #softwareArchitecture and #devOps experience.

I specialize in #react , #nodejs , #django , #fastAPI , #pandas , #postgresql , #docker , #kubernetes , #AWS and #digitalOcean .

I recently had my 1 year anniversary on dice.camp, so it’s a good time to update my #introduction! I’m mostly on here to talk #TTRPG, and my interest is in the #NSR, with some #RuneQuest (#Glorantha, mostly), #Pathfinder2e, #PBTA, and other #indieTTRPG occasionally. I’m also working on my own sandbox #fantasy TTRPG, #TheYearsOfAdventure, as one half of Archstone Press.

I’m a #SoftwareDev by day, I live in #Boston, and I’m also interested in #urbanism, leftist politics, #climbing, and #skiing

I am seeking some extra software development work to supplement my income.

I am a software engineer and architect with 25 years of experience in multiple programming languages, though lately I mostly focus on #dotnet, #csharp, and #python.  I have worked in many industries, including healthcare, legal, and finance.

My specialty is in large refactoring projects with the goal of cleaning up and optimizing old, stale, or simply poorly-designed code.  I also have experience designing and implementing applications from the ground up.

I am able to take on either an advisory or a hands-on role, depending on your needs.

Nights and weekends only, though I can make accommodations for certain planning meetings, etc, as long as they don't conflict with my day job.

If you think you might need some help, let's talk!

#introduction

I'm a #softwaredev focusing on #javascript & #typescript specifically #deno. Right now, I'm working on a blog called Craig's Deno Diary. I also contribute to a few Deno projects and am taking a break from working in the corporate world.

I have over 20 years of experience in web development, first using Java and recently JavaScript/TypeScript. Before that I was a #journalist for 10 years.

I live in #Maine USA & try to enjoy the beautiful environment here as often as possible.

Time for an #introduction:

I am an #edinburgh-based #SoftwareDev. Apart from these, expect me to talk about
#cycling
#ActiveTravel
#boardgames
while totally underusing hashtags.

I mainly toot in English and German.
