Off topic but the language here ... What is it about it that makes it plastic? For example it employs the phrases "that said" and "not least" which are generic, throw aways. New projects are a kind of success itself so w

Oh c'mon ... Roomba is a PCA with a motor and basic sensors and what not. See comments above: nobody thinks Roomba confers distinction on the hardware or software side. So now what? We're gonna skip 10 magnitudes of 10 from simple

Consider a team of 8 who suck at estimation. Three questions: 1) is anybody aware the team sucks? 2) if yes are people open about it? If no, why not? 3) now what?

There's a lot to like in what you write. Back to the book I referenced above ... disagreeing here has several facets. First you have to be aware you can disagree. You have to be aware you have choice and use it. Disagreement is not a f

One of the big points in the book: at many human organizations trust/openness is the last thing resolved. And most people think openness is scary because it means being yelled at or leaving oneself open to be screwed somehow. There can

The issue often is that management will not crush programmers if wrong. Managers aren't stupid. This isn't a competence issue primarily. This is a trust and openness issue mainly. So the estimates were wrong? What do people believ

Sorry, buy have to disagree. Management broadly (program or business managers and related workers) are not always wrong or wrong to ask. Nor is it waste to try. It's exactly this kind of fixed belief which drives behavior that ultimate

The American system is or aims for equality of opportunity. Europe manages for equality of outcomes. These are vastly different. To make UBI work in the US is a much bigger uphill battle as a result. Now, it can be rightly argued that these

Software dev 20+ years: management is right to ask for estimates. It's ok for engineers to write a throwaway design paper to "get into" the problem before turning to jira epics and stories. It's also right for engineers

There's a lot to like in this article. I like how the author tries to remove manipulative motions (correspondingly paranoia) from the context in hopes people can see truer. Nontheless (I am 25+ years in software dev), - some 20pct of p

Gate keeping is a thing ... And I smell bad odors here and there from the bsd folks, but on the whole ... It's true: nobody is gonna trade across for equals on grep, ls, whatever. If rust wants to be some OS dev language it's goin

A ton of comments here talk about arrays and basic preconditions. See frama-c.com. even in c++ where encapsulation helps class/function contracts and unit testing is a must

I agree which brought me into looking at Zig. A future version of C might disallow macros, preprocessor, disallow circular libraries, include a module system, but allow importing legacy libs like Zig. Also something like llvm so we can auto

Trump referred herein as a bullshit artist is certainly a problem in his own. However, the OP is right arguing he's but a convenient and simple example of the subtler, slower moving problems. Of the three Federal branches, Congress con

Now, here's a great read. Loved it. I've used tla+ ... I'll give alloy a try too. I'm interested in anything else along these lines.

Yes you should. I learned development on my own and, yes, I landed lots of jobs. However there are barriers: - without a cs degree several avenues of kernel development - ditto distributed systems - anything with a strong quantitative basis

Some of the comments here are too wrong in the other direction. I'll come back to that. What I would have liked to see from the begining was something like: If you must log then pipe the output into <????> which will store your l

Off topic to OPs paper however consider the case of volt-db an all in memory SQL db with replication. In the sales'y' write speed was written down to less locks, latches, disk I/O. But somewhere else I read that a big culprit
