I think comments like this trigger cognitive dissonance.

The timing is suspect given the profile of the disease has diminished and continues to fade. I wouldn't be surprised if a gruntled woke faction inside Spotify is trying to get out of the Rogan contract and that's what this is all

I am only upset at Han scoundrels in China right now, deal with it. The world is broken, we are in triage mode, and your accusations of hypocrisy have no sting. Bravo Intel for opposing slavery. You are doing more right than wrong these d

Ugh, I can't believe I made that mistake. Yes, just the V8 engine is included.

I am in the same boat as you, Java longtimer-to-NodeJS/Typescript transplant. My take after two years of production development with NodeJS is that the core libraries and runtime is fine, but NPM is a hot mess. The vanity projects and

Wow, you have an interesting skillset to pull that off. Would be a nice little business if you could publish a domain or subsite blacklist that I could subscribe to and somehow plug into my kids' and my browsers to add at least a littl

Unserious and lazy thinking devs give off the impression that we are unprofessional. No institutional barriers into the trade reinforce that. If we didn't have such a demand for workers, maybe those barriers could be erected.

Are they intelligent and conscientious? Look for DevOps engineering jobs. Great, low risk way to gradually become tech savvy that can lead to more technical, higher paying gigs over time. Fake it till you make it, just like any other car

I imagine constrained supply chain and shipping is part of it too.

Definitely. Most of our developers do do that. We typically only run a subset corresponding to just the service containing the feature we're focused on. On our larger services, unit tests take 20-30 seconds to run (WAY too slow) and

I don't have easy REPL opportunities for speeding up my cycles in the language/environment I have to work with. :/ Martin Fowler discussed it recently, note the section that discusses about sociable vs solitary tests: https

Integration tests, for my team at least, really are the workhorses for determining if we have shipping software or have more work to do. So much of our deployed code relies on configuration and packaging to function properly that units jus

I think so too. Unfortunately, integration tests are too slow, so the practice doesn't scale if one is trying to TDD. Insinuating integration testing into every user story will lead to friction. Test run times will balloon, cycle time

It makes me happy to see folks not dogpiling on you. I'll try to be similarly gentle. It seems to me maybe you've got the hero mentality. That sacrifice == hours spent grinding == commitment to the job. "Effort" to yo

I never bothered to understand what "perpetual fallback" actually meant until you explained it here. It seems like a fair arrangement except that some releases of IntelliJ have a notable quality dip while new features stabilize -

Surely I find that power is the one thing that leftist ideologies covet. Don't like someone's politics, or are they too effective at counter-narrative? Cancel them. Destroy. That's the message. Maybe you are not such a wr

Oh, it fits simply: * greed: there's buckets of money to be made during election season selling voter info and ads to campaigns * hubris: they never thought she'd lose, she was a terrible candidate (just like Biden this time!)

I don't think you need to ask around or play dumb. Just read what gets boosted in feeds. https://thehill.com/policy/technology/402495-twitter-ceo-jac... @jack says one thing in interviews but does another.

There is only one substantive reason I am aware of: power. Suppression of speech, especially political speech, is a raw power play by the suppressors. That's a losing game though. I agree with GP, only dumb (aka honest) conduits last.

That blame seems misplaced given the end state. When the folks making crazy promises are dead and/or gone by the time their promises are broken when the funds come up short, the workers who took the good deal are left holding the bag.
