"their bureaucrats" - I don't remember a single election in CA/Bay Area where the GoP was in danger of winning in 10+ years. So the majority has been clearly happy with the state of affairs for a long time. They just dec

I'd wait until we see how the updated standard library looks like. In Java they had to invent Streams. Scala/Kotlin didn't repeat that mistake and so their collection APIs are more natural to work with. Historically golang ha

The most talented developers I have seen were highly-introverted intense guys. You know the type, it's like most of us only on steroids. They could probably be great architects but that role doesn't seem to exist anymore and would

"Bad leetcode, great and relevant experience" - that's me after 20 years in the industry and at least 30% of that time working on very non-trivial systems. I usually don't do actual leetcode actually, I review algo books

I joined the industry only 20 years ago so missed the heyday of waterfall. I did witness the rise of the RUP though. And I must say that to jr developer me it was very educational despite its rather intimidating volume. There's one ang

It's terrifying how many things I used to be told in my youth about the "free world" have turned out to be blatant lies in the last few years. It's one thing to be forced by ruthless government but ordinary people demand

In Java there's another popular alternative to ORM/Hibernate, JOOQ ( https://www.jooq.org/ ). Which is basically type-safe SQL. The idea is to * start from an existing relational schema * run a CLI tool to generate

I cannot emphasize it enough - CA is a special place designed for rich people. You don't come here to settle down, you come here to strike gold or die trying. The outdoors is fabulous too though you'll probably change your mind on

In typical SFBA companies I meet mostly token Americans. So there's a huge foreign workforce with many years of local experience, a non-trivial proportion with already with citizenship. With the current trends in American politics I&#x

The last book on the JVM itself (e.g. stack-based byte code, class file format) I saw was from nearly 20 years ago. I cannot think about anything more modern. It's a niche which used to be popular in FinTech circles mostly. As such val

This forum is full of [potential] immigrants so a little warning for all of you laughing at American men. It can happen to you even if you got married abroad and so on completely different terms. In CA she can take not just half of your mon

Databricks used to be an Apache Spark as a service company. And Spark is a predominantly Scala code base. PySpark is just a Python binding for the real engine popular in ML circles. In the last couple of years the Databricks platform migrat

I know two DB bibles which explain how a DB engine actually works. It's much more interesting reading than another SQL manual. But it's not awfully practical if you have no particular interest in DB technology. And both are pretty

After 15 years of Java and 4 years of Scala I have had a chance to use Kotlin recently. I was pleasantly surprised. (+) * Kotlin is basically a poor man's Scala. So you get most of the syntactic sugar with no need to study much. * Seam
