There are advantages to going to college over a boot camp or self learning. In fact, CS and SE degrees are ones that pay for themselves. If you're not willing to put in the work, that tells me you won't last long at Google.

> It's not perfect. But it makes me wonder why the CS and SE accreditations seem to have so little weight in this industry. That's easy, you can thank people like ESR and the hacker mentality and meritocracy myths for this. I a

Is there any other field where the interview has become a field unto itself? A field where a person can walk in with over a decade of experience and then not get past the first interview because he doesn't know topics he hasn't u

Maybe we should have listened to the people who are Zen Buddhists about how reaching satori is incredibly difficult?

I'd say Fowler has more credibility because his books are a bit more technical than Martin's. His book on refactoring is evidence he's worked with a lot of code.

I never understand why Martin gets the kind of attention he does. As far as I can tell, the only significant achievement he's done for the technical community is the Agile manifesto. Outside of that, he's a typical consultant in

Amazingly enough, this is exactly how I feel. There's no chance for raises, although the company have a lot of opportunities to make more money, but I can't deal with the commute and office politics ever again.

Automation never results in more leisure. It results in more specialized work and increased workloads. The sentiment expressed in the first line is why I intend to stay working remotely for as long as possible. I hated the fact I saw a d

How naive are you? I would say that an ideology that advocates for racial or ethnic cleansing should not be shared. I would say that sexually explicit images of children who are emotionally traumatized should not be shared. As someone me

Even with a slippery slope, you can install fences to prevent people from falling down. Every society needs to have standards it adheres to, and you can't accept every idea, or as happened in America, the bad ones get louder, because

They have nothing to atone for, and they don't owe you anything. Either you appreciate the steps they're taking, or you keep on living in the past.

I agree. There's a wonderful statement that says that even if you don't take an interest in politics, politics will take an interest in you. It definitely is the responsibility of every citizen in a democratic nation to stay inf

Most of those companies use AngularJS for that specific reason. It's stable, well tested and documents, and it works.

If I remember correctly, Oracle has a licensing scheme if you want to build and release your own JVM. Java SE always has significant more usage in production thanks to Android, Kotlin, Clojure, and Scala. While Java EE does get used a lot

I'll have to disagree with your assessment. The reason we have freedom of speech in the United States is to prevent the government from silencing critics. The Founder's most definitely did not have the Nazi. Much of your argume

K, fine, we'll play the whataboutism game. Chomsky is not a communist, he's more a socialist, and he has, in fact, spoken out against the Soviet Union and Soviet communism. Since he's not advocating for racial and ethnic cl

That's whataboutism at play.

That's victim blaming. His claims that he supports diversity are nothing more than false virtue-signaling. I have yet to find a person who would say there are no biological gender differences. The problem is assuming those differenc

For this conversation? A woman. He should have given that document to a female friend, told her it would probably offend her, and ask for her advice on how to improve it. He should have been there and watched her reaction as she read it.

No, not really. For this specific example, Damore knew the issue is a divisive one. If he didn't, then he does need to have some basic sensitivity training. From what I remember reading, he did acknowledge the issue was contentious.

Yes, there's no way to say either of those statements to a member of a given group and not offend that person.
