   We have dedicated QAs and QEs, but they are not there to write tests. It's possible that's what he's driving at as I think the Joel test saw testers as an integrated part of the software delivery pipeline. Nowadays, in big te

   Exactly this. Being told who the "real" engineers are is simply a good way of parting suckers with their money for "accreditation" or whatever such nonsense.

   Taskmaster is a fantastic program that everyone should watch at some point. The premise, the tasks, the twisted comedy of the hosts. It's perfect.

   I wanted to add something to this from recent personal experience. I've worked with a few engineers recently who were keen - occasionally insistent - on coming up with an O(n log n) solution, or better, at design stages for a specific

   They're using this bad faith / fallacious argument all over the thread, so, at the least, it isn't personal.

   If the intention of the README was to leave us wanting, they succeeded! +1 for some more docs, I'm a sucker for libararies that do-one-thing-well.

    Now, I'm no conspiracy theorist, and of course we don't know anything for certain, but is it even remotely possible that this could be a prototype of the Xbox Series X?

    The fact that you don't often see announcements for big tech head-of-security appointments on the front page of hackernews says a lot about why they hired him.

    I thought they'd already confirmed that x86_64 virtualization won't be possible on Silicon? If so that rules out a significant number of development use cases.

    But this boils down to convenience not prevention. It's so, so easy to get access to a million pieces of media through the accounts your parents or siblings already have. Further those services provide specific family plans to make it

    You may be right, but according to their own code of conduct and actions as stated by Jeremy, all that matters is how the complainant feels in response to the action of the speaker, and they should therefore be immediately and summarily dis

    This is the saddest part of all; not because of the toxic influence of these bad actors, but because it detracts from actual issues of discrimination and misconduct. What does anyone think happens when an organizer breaks the code of cond

    The article is erroneous in many ways as others have described, but the main error I see is that it says 'git clone' is run before the fetch. It should be 'git init'

    I wonder if companies they can start offering Whitman amazing executive packages to _not_ be their CEO. Her track record is attrocious. I say this as someone still reeling from the death of Palm.

    I assume they all immediately handed in their letters of resignation and/or hired the candidate in as a principle engineer. Sarcasm aside, the very fact that they ban questions demonstrates how useless these types of questions really a

    I suppose it wouldn't help much to tell them that, even had they been attending classes in person and gaining the benefits of cohabitation, they would still be getting financially destroyed by a broken system. This is really just shini

    The vast majority of devs I chat to feel the exact opposite. I think the takeaway is that this will vary a lot between companies and teams.

    This is really cool and seems pretty up-to-date ... which leaves me surprised that Obj-C is present but Swift isn't. (Even moreso considering that both Java and Kotlin are present).

    If a stat sounds like it was invented for dramatic effect, then it probably was. This is nearly always something touted as a self virtue, but actually just a ploy to get subordinates to work unreasonable hours. (I'm not saying that the
