Does this mean you would pay a premium and possibly promote a software developer that doesn't contribute to the product by writing code, but remembers people's birthdays and plans team lunches?

While there are certainly many ways to build complex software, I haven't found composing a complex system from many simple and independent parts limiting.

This is a fantastic point. Less representation on a national level perhaps, but maybe the federal government will have to become much smaller in the future. I personally don't think that's a bad thing.

Here's a link to an article by the Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2017/aug/08/why-are... . It was published in 2017. The third paragraph points out that 20% of Google engineers ar

One thing I've found very interesting is that even though the majority of software developers in an enterprise or organization are male, with the ratio being as high as 80/20, the ratio of male to female managers directly managing

Even if you do have a "fast" track and a "slow" track, the only ways I can think of to get travelers on either of these paths to the same place at the same time is to either slow down those on the "fast" track,

I've never experienced or witnessed a scenario in which trying to support varying levels of experience didn't result in lowering of standards. People with the right interest and capabilities will strive to clear the bar and will n

How does this level the playing field? Why would this not reduce the overall rate of learning for everyone to suit the needs of the slowest students?

Allow me to answer this question for you: As a Black man in tech (my skin crawls every time I have to make this clear i n these types of discussions because I absolutely DESPISE identity politics) I would answer the same. There, you have an

I do not consider the claim in the grandparent comment ridiculous, but I would consider your claim ridiculous. As a sibling comment pointed out, Gab does NOT embrace bigots and extremists, it simply does not remove legally allowed content.

I don't see what was "flamewar style" about the grandparent post. Are you referring to the mention of "Vegans"? I took that to mean Vegans as in citizens of Las Vegas. People say Angelenos to refer to inhabitants of

One of the biggest reasons Section 230 is being threatened by Republicans in the senate is because they believe Facebook has a bias against conservative content and viewpoints on their platform. If it's up to Facebook to moderate conte

"and yet there are still X and Y chromosomes" Why did you feel the need to remind this member of Hackernews guidelines here? What about the grandparent comment did you construe as flamebait? *edited to make it clear which commen

Saying "It's ok to be white" is considered hate speech by many. Saying "It's ok to be black" is a statement of empowerment.

How old are you? I'm curious because I thought along those lines when I was a younger man. You are right that we have almost no control over our immediate emotional reactions to something we have just observed. You do control your trai

Why do you keep drawing comparisons to social media platforms? Someone that acts as a patron to a specific content creator on Patreon doesn't have to know anything about any other creators using the platform to generate income. As the

Have you given any thought to how wide the gap between "smart" work and "dumb" work should be? Who should decide such a thing? If someone spent their youth doing drugs and having children out of wedlock do they really de

I've found that professionally it can be a mixed bag as well. I'm in pretty good shape physically and I take care to wear clothes that fit me well, even going so far as to have my shirts and blazers altered. I've found that d

A great deal of my thinking is done using an internal monologue. I have no problems with my hearing or speech, so that internal monologue happens to take the form of spoken language. While I don't think formal spoken language is necess

I'd like to see more organizations adapt this way of thinking in terms of the way they build software. Turns out business functionality is a great way to define boundaries for a service in a micro-service architecture. There's rea

I'm of the opinion that companies should rewrite as much of their codebase as often as possible. Given the difficulty of trying to understand code written by someone else, why shouldn't production code be considered immutable?

Haha! Love it! This is precisely how enterprise software is developed and if you look at the way our industry has trained its managers, I can't think of any reason why the people that make decisions about these things can be convinced

Quite a few companies are doing exactly what you describe to fill dev positions. The real cost comes when the systems designed and built by those junior devs are so brittle it becomes very time consuming and expensive to add new features. M

This is the second time in this discussion that you've referred to Black Lives Matter as an organization that kills or has directed the killing of law enforcement officers. Can you present documented proof?

Why do people continue to associate Micah Xavier Johnson with Black Lives Matter? He himself stated he was not affiliated with any movements or groups. Why? Well... I know why, but can someone please point me to any documented proof that Mi

I thought solutions like Cloud Foundry and adhering to the "Twleve-Factor App" methodology help eliminate the risk of vendor lock-in.
