It's good. I found it way more readable and engaging than other CS textbooks.

As long as developers are graded on their ability to crank out features most will continue to not care about reliability, alerting, etc., and there will be a need for dev ops/sre/etc.

Right, or a review that includes positive and negative feedback is also more credible.

I'd like to say that I appreciate this comment even though I disagree. It's true that you can be a perfectly good or even above average developer without ever using BFS, and interviewers shouldn't pretend this is not so. It&#

Especially at a new job you don't want to show that you're a team player, willing to fill in where needed, etc.

Are they asking you to work on that project permanently for would it be <6 months. If it's short term I would just agree to work on it while letting your manager/whoever know it's not your preference. That way they know yo

This reminds me about a recent Freakonomics podcast about Trader Joe's. It starts off by asking, what would you think about a grocery store with no name brands, much fewer options, no sales on items, not loyalty program, no automated c

Not trying to start an argument, but I think most people switch majors rather than drop out in this scenario.

> No one wants to do fentanyl I question this. I recently watched Netflix's Dope documentary and they talk about how an increase in overdoses due to a stronger batch (i.e. cut with more fentanyl) leads to higher demand on the street

I still think it's a trap that a lot of smart people fall into. I know a lot of really smart people who try to beat the stock market.

Trying to beat the stock market, when it's incredibly difficult. Even actively managed mutual funds fail to consistently beat the market average.

It makes me smugly satisfied that I never got a certificate in anything and I still have a successful career. You really don't need it. On the other hand I did drop thousands to get a Master's degree in CS while working. To each h

Do you have a problem with political ads on tv? From my perspective we should have campaign finance laws that regulate political ad spending, but there's nothing inherently wrong with showing political ads on tv, facebook, or elsewhere

The r/personalfinance was an amazing resource for me. It basically recommends buying and holding index funds, and provides concrete steps on how to do so. Minuscule fees plus returns tied to the market average which only 2% of financia

I see a lot of news stories and anecdotes about automation via robots. Are there any statistics that describe this trend?

This gave me chills. You have to wonder though, how these nightmarish, big companies continue to achieve success and grow. Maybe software engineering, however shoddy, is just not that hard to make good enough.

Worth it for me. I got a minor in CS, did web development for 3 years, and then enrolled in a CS master's degree for professionals at a prestigious (expensive) university. In school I purposely avoided "software engineering"

All I can say is read the book and decide for yourself. You seem interested in these kind of questions about life and energy in the universe and personally the book blew my mind. Btw, he does talk about suicide terrorists in the book and ho

You're way overstating how often PhD's switch over to industry. You make it sound like it's 100% when it's definitely not. Also, it's perfectly reasonable for a tech company that wants state-of-the-art, cutting-edge

I was expecting reasons why now is a better climate to apply then in previous years. That would be interesting, but instead it's a list of generic reasons to apply for a phd. Yes, I know that phd's can open doors.

If you are good in one mainstream language you will be good in any of them. And by good I mean, can you think about a complex problem and implement an algorithm to solve it. Don't listen to the haters that say Microsoft tech users must
