Agile, XP, insert-other-methadology, is a way to potentially take a developer who is a 2 or 3 and get them working like a 5. Problem is it also takes the developers who are 8,9 and 10s and turns them into 5s too. If you have lots of 2s and

This might sound good in theory, but time spent at work not working can be soul destroying.

I know of zero universities that use Scheme or any LISP. Most nowadays that I know of start with Javascript. My old university started with C. It now goes straight to javascript.

I'm a developer. When I work with most stuff that isn't web dev, life is good. I can figure most stuff out painlessly. It's mostly feels like working on a space that has been designed and documented by someone sane. When I&#x

This. I learned programming from doing C, and man am I glad I did. I thinm if my first language had been something like JS it would have been a major impediment.

Yep. I find my big on-ear headphones are a good "I don't want to talk to anyone" indicator :) I basically never leave the house without them. I think if you tried talking to random strangers where I live most people would thi

Stupid question, probably. But I'm not American. Is a "block" just a continuous building with no gaps for a road or pavement? i.e. [#########building##########] [###### building###] [###] Would be 3 blocks? Or is

Exactly, it sounds like this guy sees interviews as a way to feed his ego and make himself feel smarter than the candidate. He would be a massive red flag to me as an indicator I don't want to work there.

The article makes no attempt to answer the question in the thread title. Tldr: woman wears headphones a lot because they have a noisy office, noisy apartment and ear buds help her sleep. Thats it. It's a non article.
