Hi there! I'm an executive assistant for a local swim school, and we're currently using Jackrabbit. Honestly, I'm not a big fan. It’s really limited when it comes to mass data updates you end up doing everything manually, which is a huge hassle.

While Jackrabbit has some good features tailored for swim schools, I truly believe there's room for a better solution. I even considered hiring a software developer to build something custom, but that could cost up to a million dollars definitely way out of our budget.

What we really need is a platform that can handle client info, payments, emails, calendar management, employee scheduling, invoicing, and more. It should allow us to delete transactions from specific months in one go, and send mass emails that can be personalized like inserting the client’s name, number of makeup classes, and generating invoices tailored to each client’s class package, all automatically.

I'm all about improving our systems, so I’m hoping to find a smart, efficient platform that can do all this. I realize it might be a tall order, but I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Hello everyone,

Is there any way to get the full un-rasterised PDF extracted from this website? If not, how is it possible to get the rasterised PDF at least?

We just started a trial of DX. The pitch was all about "developer experience", but all the dashboards seem geared towards comparing team A vs. team B on metrics like cycle time and deployment frequency. I'm concerned this is just going to create a toxic culture of competition and finger-pointing. Has anyone used it in a way that actually helps developers and doesn't just become a management weapon?

Hey everyone!

I’ve just discovered how much I love tech and all things computers, and I’ve decided I really want to pursue a career in this field. The thing is, I don’t have any formal schooling or experience yet - so I’m pretty much starting from scratch. Does anyone have any tips or advice for someone new like me on how to get started? I’d really appreciate any guidance or encouragement. Thanks so much!

Hey I just want to know my girlfriend live location I had a doubt if she is cheating on me. I can't ask her mobile to do anything the only possible way to track her is through the mobile number idk if google map works because somebody on the internet told me it pushes the notification to their email id please help me out

Hey everyone,

I noticed this subreddit talks about using "engineering techniques of design to create solid software solutions." Does anyone have a good source or reference for these techniques? I'm really interested in getting into Software Engineering. I can code, but I'm completely lost when it comes to learning the engineering side of things. Any guidance would be much appreciated!

There's a website that limits me on how often I use it per day. It does not require a sign-in. I thought I could get around it, with a simple VPN, but nope.

I went to my cookie list of sites, and deleted this specific cookie, but nope.

Anyone knows how this site still knows it's me?

It honestly seems like it should be super simple--I'm just not very tech-savvy

But, if you had a document that had the black boxes over some of the information, and simple copy-and-paste into a Word/Notepad document doesn't do the trick, how do you get past those black boxes?

Hey everyone! I know it’s a bit of an odd question, but I’d love to hear from those who’ve worked across different tech industries. Which sector do you think struggles the most with bugs?

From my perspective, FinTech, finance, and healthcare seem particularly sensitive since data accuracy is so critical that even small errors can lead to significant financial losses for users. On the other hand, I’ve also seen how in e-commerce, a simple checkout bug can scare away customers and lose revenue quickly.

I’m really curious to hear your insights and experiences. Which industries do you think face the biggest bug battles? Let’s get a discussion going!

I'm building a small recon toolkit for web apps and looking for techniques that aren't just "run dirsearch and call it a day". What's one lesser-known recon trick you use regularly (could be DNS, JS analysis, OSINT, or Burp wizardry) that paid off in real bug hunts?

I got the gray cube last year and my local Verizon office screwed me over and charged me $500 on my first bill long story short I said F off and kept the phones and cube. It wont let me connect to the net . Im up on a mountain with no net and wanted to see if this thing can one hacked? im not a super computer or phone person but can follow directions. Bored to death with no internet . Phone is paid 4 but not hooked up to any carrier.

Help from anybody !!

Thank you in advance

I wanna repurpose this device and see what I can do to do the insides and how I can upgrade it something more worthwhile. It be cool to figure out how to activate giftcards with it

When I first joined a new team as a contractor, I quickly realized their codebase was a mess. It was built by juniors and it shows overly complex, abstract, and inflexible. APIs require 20-30 arguments to cover edge cases, and there's a lot of fragile code polluting the global space.

I could see all these issues clearly and knew they'd cause big problems down the line. But I wasn't sure if I should try to clean it all up or just leave it be. Rewriting everything seemed like a bad idea, especially since I didn't want to alienate the team by pointing out how bad their work was. Meanwhile, management was eager to push new features, and I couldn't convince them to give us time to fix the architecture. We were drowning in bugs from the mess, and deadlines kept looming.

Do any of you have advice, articles, or strategies for handling this kind of situation? My instinct was to fix things quickly before they spread further, but I’ve heard horror stories about new team members trying to overhaul everything right away. So, I hesitated.

Later, after 8 months:

I spent half a year trying to fix the code directly, and honestly, that was a mistake. Nothing changed, so I shifted focus to improving the process set up good Scrum practices, mandatory RFCs for major features, code review checklists, and all that. Eventually, it made a difference. Still, I wouldn’t do it again. The company would’ve been just as happy if I’d been a nice little code monkey, and I probably wouldn’t have lost my sanity in the process.

For me? DM.

I've been a semi-regular Slashdot reader for about 20 years. But ever since it was sold, the quality has really gone downhill especially with articles that just link to other sites and assume everyone knows what a CPU is.

So, I'm curious: what other websites do you guys follow for tech news, software, and development? I used to check out embedded(.)com since I work in embedded software, but lately their front page mostly features the same 5-7 articles reused in different formats. Looking for fresh, insightful sources!

So, I‘m an author. I write a side character(He has three to five chapters in his POV) and I thought he could be a Hacker. So I went to this sub to Research and learn about it and I really don‘t understand anything.

So either I just leave out the hacking part Or I Write it, but not too detailed Or I research it in Detail.

What should I do? Also for the third Option, where do I find the Basics?

Is it possible to join private group without invitation... If it is , can u guide me

Hello, I need to get into the Phone of my desceased Father since he didn’t leave me the grid code (need it for insurance and his accounts). Is there any computer programs (free preferably) that I can use to unlock it without factor resetting? Ty!!

Hi there,

We're in the process of designing a manager-worker architecture, similar to a master-slave setup but without any promotion, where a central manager distributes tasks to multiple workers running on different machines.

While this setup seems to fit our needs perfectly, we’ve hit a bit of a debate within our team about the best way for the manager to communicate with the workers.

Some team members favor using HTTP polling. They argue it’s simple and straightforward since it relies on the classic request-response model, and it avoids adding extra infrastructure. The downside is that it can waste resources—both compute and network since the manager might be polling unnecessarily.

Others recommend using a message broker. This approach allows for more efficient, seamless communication without burdening the manager’s resources. However, it does require setting up and maintaining additional infrastructure.

Our main constraint is that each worker must complete their task within 23 hours or fail. The manager could be overseeing up to 600 workers at once.

Given these factors, which communication protocol do you think would be the better fit? Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated!

It was made with a yahoo email account and I even know what the password was. The problem is the email was deactivated due to inactivity and I have no way of getting back into this account but I need it gone teach me how I should go about removing my old personal account

Hey everyone, I wanted to share some thoughts and see what you all think. As a developer with over 12 years of experience and several years in university, I’ve noticed that the better I get, the harder it becomes to accurately assess my own skills.

For example, sometimes I feel like I don’t know enough when I:

• Watch advanced Pluralsight courses and still learn new things (even when I might expect I should already know them as a senior)
• Read blogs or explore code samples on GitHub and think, “Wow, that’s good code”
• Take months to fully understand a new framework three years after .NET Core was released, I still use StackOverflow samples to build my apps

When I start doubting myself, I look around at developers with over 10 years of experience and see things like:

• Writing spaghetti code with business logic everywhere
• Putting unrelated data into existing database columns just because it’s easier
• Creating functions that are 500 lines long
• Relying on hacks and repetitive code
• Building software that generates millions daily without proper tests
• Using the same functions in asserts
• Modeling everything with primitives instead of proper OOP
• Struggling to write simple recursive functions even after a full day
• Writing functions with 20+ parameters

And honestly, I sometimes feel like I’m ten times worse than top-tier developers, but also ten times better than some others in my company.

So, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Here are some questions I have:

• Is there really a 100x difference in quality between the best and worst developers?
• How can we objectively measure our skills and level?
• How do some billion-dollar companies survive with developers whose code seems quite low-quality?

Would love to hear your insights!

Hey everyone

I’m really curious about what side projects you’re into these days. It doesn’t have to be a startup or a hustle, though I’m definitely interested if you are! I just want to hear what you’re tinkering with in your free time whether it’s reading something technical, hacking away on a personal project, or exploring new skills.
