Unlike the other code-slinging gods who walk amongst us in this thread, I prefer coding challenges because I'm pretty mid-level and average and I do actually need a job. And I hate whiteboarding. No one should do whiteboarding for code

Apple's iPhone also brought new UI/UX ideas and people that grow up with these phones/desktops now and judge everything by that standard vs. what was considered "working" way back when. Android and Microsoft helped

The only reason the supply chain is at risk is because we dispose of a lot of electronics simply because there's a new version. When the product lifecycle changes from 1 year to 10+ years, you'll find that people will just keep th

I don't understand the prototyping angle. Can't you just do something on your local machine? There's stuff like dotnet new for .NET where I can just run that and have a skeleton project for a backend and I can start writing c

It'll move away from the IQ 'brand' and move to job performance or some other easier-to-measure metric. I'm actually okay with this, I'd much rather they be honest that a particular enhancement is only good for part

If you know SQL and know the ORM, you can just do the complicated things in SQL. If you know a problem is going to be complicated, you know to use SQL. If you don't know if a problem is going to be complicated, you can default to SQL a

I think cryptocurrency takes the cake vs. any sane/non-bug thing that frameworks are probably doing. Maybe some AI workloads are in the ballpark?

We would need a similar-in-principle industry for engineers if they are legally and professionally responsible for code. It would likely be smaller and cheaper since most of us are not responsible for lives though. You definitely wouldn&#x2

You can train them enough to not be helpless without a lawyer. Doctors don't need one for every medical decision they make. You do need larger support systems to make this work though and that doesn't get built overnight. It certa
