You can write poor code in any language. Language itself has very little other meaning than how well it does it's job in the given context. PHP is great for fast development, has a lot of developers available, and comes with great tool

I don't see a causation here, those things aren't specific to tech, and are in fact fairly common in other areas of work as well.

They'd not be a 10x engineer then. The whole "x"ness is an oversimplification, which is the point of the article

I think it's a perfectly valid analogy; A runner is doing everything you'd be doing running, but more, and can achieve far greater speeds that you ever can.

It's a matter of speech, not a concrete measurement. I'd liken the speed to a "compiled" version of the problem in your mind; if you've done it before, it's easier to apply it now, rather than to start from the

You can absolutely beat people in greenfield projects with experience; choosing and designing business data structures optimally so that not a lot has to be refactored. I don't really buy into the idea of attributing "x speed&quot

Which you'd not be if you were just starting out. The cost also won't come down 90% no matter who you are. Big streaming networks often have to build their own to compete.

Burning anything can be "actively" toxic and cancerous. You can argue about the process of anything, but that shifts the conversation away from the energy source. Wood doesen't have to be burned in X place, and it _could_ be

I wouldn't shift the burden of the entire chain to wood alone. The tools are not wood-exclusive, and should be considered on their own.

The wood has absorbed the equal amount of carbon from the air, which has reverted the previous burning. As long as we won't take down all the trees, it shouldn't be accounted as net negative.

I believe every effort should be done to further the transition and make it less cumbersome in the future. Just the mental effect of "we're already partially using it" is invaluable

This also means that banning separate IP's is now infeasible. Not that it's the right way to go about things anyway, but a ton of sites rely on it

I'd argue that no matter how "good" you are, you are capped at what tools you're using. Consider using a hammer against a pneumatic tool. A newbie will hose you with better tools, they're wielding that condensed kno

Funny thing; they hide the article after loading with javascript, so disabling it will allow you to read it normally.

Well that isn't a surprise, because the only difference in meaning is the way the software is delivered.

In fact, in some northern countries like Finland, all education is completely free, and the government pays you allowance so you can focus on studies. The only requirement is to pass the entry exams, which anyone can take

Robotics could be much more efficient, require less maintenance and cause less havoc when malfunctioning. That alone reduces the amount of jobs required by a fair bit
