I have a superstition that when people in a startup start fabulating about the company jet it's time to jump ship. Based on a sample-of-one experience, but I've happily extrapolated to the population (statistical word meaning). Si

Honestly, your reply doesn't appear to be meant to be constructive. I just have to casually scan major news sites for headlines and what is the first one I find when asking google for two search words (not the first search result but t

First, we are not reading text but code. Second, we code very differently then we used to - several layers of indentation are common now but were not when the limit was seen as reasonable.

You simultaneously complain the advice is generic and claim it's useful. You always bet on both colors in roulette? No, generic advice is not useful. It's... too generic.

As an IT person with only a degree in CS and historically little interest except for IT and maybe some engineering topics the best time I invested in decades was to start - completely by accident - on the medical track. Hundreds of lecture

Why do you say "and yet" - since such generic "advice" is useless so is the conclusion " and yet they get it wrong!" (I told you something useless - why doesn't it help?)

My response was to optforfon's comment... I don't see how your response fits in in that context. optforfon's claim seems to be that Agile fixes the planning problem - which it doesn't, it simply limits planning to that w

When the results look bad it doesn't mean people don't follow common sense. For example, when the project would never get approval and a budget with realism but will get both when risks are left out when asking for money it's

How does that possibly solve the problem being discussed here? Are you the god who can define ALL tasks (in the agile meaning, a sprint consisting of a number of tasks) that a large project consists of up front, all the way to the end of th

I used to be like that, but after a lot of JS programming I ended up with WebStorm and very heavily using JSDoc and Closure compiler syntax inline type-comments - which together with WebStorm give me almost TypeScript-like type checks. Ther

I found another article linked from the one linked here more interesting, but it's not about "FP" but only about Haskell: "Why is Haskell used so little in the industry?" - http://flyingfrogblog.blogspot.

Others may ( will ) see it differently, and obviously it depends on context - different things need different presentations - but I can't stand when people have text slides. You are already talking - seeing exactly what you say or th

Blank sheet syndrome. It simply is several orders of magnitude easier to work on well-known problems than to first find a new problem nobody else has even thought of yet. For the same reason I prefer refactoring ("optimizing") my

Why don't you read other people's replies like that of lazzlazzlazz ? You posted well after he posted his. Then you would not have to ask embarrassingly stupid rhetorical questions.

Sarcasm is a valuable tool in the human communication arsenal. If you want to do without it, be my guest, but don't try to dictate your subjective preferences to others who have what I would claim is a more mature and more healthy atti

Why would I not say that face to face? Do you think any negative reply to anyone is bad? What horrible rose-colored world do you live in? How about you adjust your sensitivity setting? It's on an unhelpfully low level that prevents n

Thank's for your valuable anecdote. We can now safely ignore all the people who did get a disease or toxins doing the same.

Over the decades they learned that fighting wild fires is counter-productive. What's left is fighting only fires that endanger humans and human structures and leave the wild ones alone. It's the product of many decades of experien
