Speaking in general terms here to avoid NAXALT responses but it’s been my experience that the Raku/Perl crowd enjoy being clever for clever’s sake and are more concerned about the language itself than the problems being solved. I can s

Maybe Arthur lived in Springfield, MO and worked at Bass Pro or O'Reilly Auto Corporate offices and lives here. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/8057-W-Farm-Road-100-Will...

Making things better and applying modern techniques don’t map to a feature story. In the environments being discussed you’ll have to wait for a cadre of architects and program managers to convince the C levels to commit to a multi year, mil

If I was made to go into the office each day it would be a hard no for me. But I'm willing to put up with this type of thing when working from home. But I have some caveats with that as well. If I'm made to work on company provide

I use Ting as my mobile provider. They use the T-Mobile network so the coverage is not on par with Verizon but it's good enough. I'm willing to sacrifice the coverage because when communicating with Ting I ALWAYS get a very helpfu

Sprints are stupid. Treat the developers as professionals. Stake holders should be encouraged to request whatever work needs to be done to execute on the business’ needs. They should then work with the engineers to prioritize that work. The

99% of the arguments in this industry are straw men or false equivalencies back by nothing but assertions and gut feel. There is little engineering in the field.

There’s a big difference between a doctor or lawyer and programmers. Doctors and lawyers are licensed professionals who quite often have their own business. Most programmers are employees doing what they’re told by their bosses. A plumber i

Java doesn’t enforce any particular style. I’ve seen extremely procedural code that is full of statics where it’s obvious the authors were attempting to write C in Java. I’ve seen all manner of attempts at OOP where classes were meticulousl

These problems have been “solved” by designing micro services that don’t perform any joins but shift that responsibility to the applications. What was once a single API call for the application, backed by a SQL query joining over tables has

Hmmm, Platform Engineer as you describe it kind of sounds like System Administrator.

The main problem is Google, Amazon et. al. publish how they handled some difficult problem they encountered and then middle management at Foo Inc. decided that’s the way they need to design their 40 user internal orders app.

If you look at something like Spring, IOC isn't the issue but annotations are.

It’s not just startups. I’ve been working in “The Enterprise” for 28 years and with one or two exceptions, my time would have been better spent automating internal processes that were documented than working on the actual product. And by be

Moderation is really not the problem if you just remove comments. I’ve thought for a while that crowd sourced link ranking with a good search mechanism would be more useful than google. For tech related topics I often find HN search to be m

The video on the main page had me until they said their main focus now was on helping the U.S. empire's attempts to subjugate the rest of the world. If small form factors were a focus, how about off grid generators or the like. Leading
