Even then, this is stuff that the IDE simply generates for you. Why would I memorize the signature of a method I will probably never use?

It's an average. Sometimes you insert at 0, sometimes at 1, sometimes at 2, ... sometimes at n. On average it's O(n).

Being born and working in a country with a strong social system, this is just another positive for my current lifestyle: Just earning enough to sustain myself and paying only minimal taxes so as not to waste anything on benefits I will neve

Well, considering Alphabet is one of the must successful companies on the planet now I understand that, Larry Page. Don't be too hard on yourself though :)

Oh, thanks for clearing that up, I kind of misread the parent comment then :) I'll leave my answer anyway for the sake of argument.

I think your point hinges on what you define as 'work' then. Because I so often hear the phrase 'if you do something you love you wont't have to work a day in your life' yet in real life people seem to respect the &

For me it isn't either and I'm certainly not advocating for "hacking" features together. The obvious bugs I mentioned were not design bugs, but simple slips that creep in when you've already worked for a few hours a

>If the bugs are obvious why do you need extreme programming to find them Because sometimes you've already worked for a few hours and end up wasting time with stuff, which could have been spotted easily by help of a fellow developer

I know and I normally don't do this, so please forgive my rather emotional response. But this obituary made me kind of angry. To comment on your original point: I really think there's nothing fishy about it. He probably really wan

Can't speak for the OP, but what I did is I found me a job where I only work part-time. At the moment I'm working 30 hours / week, although I had it at 26 / week last year and found this to be optimal to be honest. I sti

Have you read the text at all? Sorry to be that guy, but clearly 'big Al' was the office loner (not to say loser) who nobody can really hold anything against but at the same time everybody's happy when you don't have to

I find your last paragraph very interesting. May I ask, did you make that move yourself and, if so, where to? In my daily work I often refactor an old, organically grown, codebase and that's exactly what I do: I try to think of what th

Thanks for the input. In my place of work, where I mainly use C#/.NET, we are in the process of planning to implement a new frontend for one of our services. I was totally looking forward to using this to get some experience with TypeS

While I totally agree with you on the 'it's not engineering in the engineering kind of sense'-part, there's another interesting point a friend once brought up in conversation: At least where I'm from, telling people

You're right it does come down to culture and mind share. That's why the author already admits this would be a long process. But I think he's right and to truly call what we're doing software _engineering_ there needs to

I feel like the problems you describe here (constantly changing requirements, minimal time for development, "hacking" code together) have less to do with agile methods and more with people-stuff. I think agile methods can help a g

Haha, you just summed up perfectly what I was trying to describe with my child-comment to another poster on here!

I never got the excitement that some of my college classmates had for JavaScript because they didn't have to 'deal with types'. I always much preferred a compiler telling me that this won't work instead of having to find

I don't get the number of people here commenting 'this isn't theft' and they're just exploiting legal loopholes. Yes, you may be able to justify this legally, but it is a morally highly questionable behaviour noneth

That's an interesting view into the inner workings of my favourite music player. However, as a lot of people also comment on the article: The main problem with Spotify shuffle is that it plays the same songs over and over while others

No, he isn't. He said the advertisers should decide what they spend money on, so Google doesn't have to care about what other people might consider offensive (i.e. 'flipping the bird to censorship')

If it was just the message, maybe you could argue that he overreacted. But it isn't just the message, he can also no longer use his profile. And why is that? Probably because some algorithm thought his profile impersonates someone else
