I have a hypothesis about how most people seemingly did their greatest work when they were young: most of the very famous people we know of on average is several generations before - when you think of theoretical physicists you think of Ein

Last time org syntax was changed that affected me, it did not do automatic conversion (it was just last release, actually). In that case, however there was a code snippet to repair them. You have to know and read the changelogs for them tho

Working 100 hours week mean that he's earning at the same rate of someone working 40 hours/week for 100k. Realistically unless the job is dangerous (which it could very well be, I don't know), I think it works out to be a goo

There are several hidden assumption I made to get to the conclusion. But now that I'm thinking about it, this is interesting because while we establish (loosely speaking) how union shouldn't be, we didn't say specifically h

Union for factory workers can barely resemblance anything that would work for programmers (for example, I highly doubt there is a notion of a 10x assembly line workers). But regardless of whether a 10x programmer is a myth or not, the fact

You are just a few twists and turns before arriving at the land of cryptocurrencies. All the usual issues with "hard to execute" and other unintended side effects apply.

There are roughly 50% male in the world. It's a diversity project. I'm not making a judgement, but it does feel a slight sense of irony seeing the listing on that page.

Please don't read into this post and the questions any more deeply than the surface, I do not have any intended judgement nor intend to imply anything. I'm trying to understand your post: I got your situation, but I'm missing

Everyone makes trade offs in their lives, ie. everyone is shitty at some (most?) things. If you have never had to make trade offs in your life, you either have zero self-awareness, so must have lived a very special life in one way or anothe

If the type system is not expressive enough and you have to get around it? The claim that "dynamically type language" allows code to more closely follows the business logic has merits. And you could follow from that to claim that

I was curious so I went to check for historical Nobel prizes. Wikipedia helpfully has the list of all laureates by country along with their birth origin (0). 98 out of 362 American Nobel laureates are born outside of the US (Bengt R. Holmst

Just to confirm, you meant just register -> store to database + forgot password and validation right? (Greater than 8 hour time commitment do sound about right, but I'm just curious to make sure I read it correctly).

I was thinking along that line too. In traditional more "human" field, a good lawyer/ doctor can just do that much, regardless of how good you would be. It would be interesting to compare revenue or profit per employee for te

I will just assert that at Googe scale (some 20000-30000 engineers from a quick search), "good fit" isn't really a thing. Now, it doesn't mean they might not be hiring a certain mono-culture type of programmers, but that

From personal experience, you probably want Babel anyway even with TS to deal with some weird edge cases. I think this has been fixed now. But a couple of weeks ago, I had a case where TS compiler output has to be ES6 (since the code base w

Actually I do, I left the US just a couple of months ago after living there for 6 years. And my advice is the same: know your odds, play your lottery, but don't bet/delay your life on that.
