I know I'm setting myself up for being picked up, but... I use an older knife that I've never sharpened outside of "occasionally" running it back and forth against a tough fabric. It cuts literally everything just fine;

Regardless of someone's stand on the topic of remote vs in-office, I find it staggering that _anyone_ could believe that either one of them is the one-true-way. There's downsides to both and either decision is likely to make at le

No? It's not an idiosyncrasy, it's a preference/optimal work environment. And it varies by person. Stop acting like the people that are on the other side of the opinion are being childish/stupid. Nobody said you needed t

You /s, but that's actually a fair point - Some people work better at home, away from the office - Some people work better in the office, with their co-workers around them Those two facts are at direct odds with each other. It&#x2

All the phone jacks in my house come after the kitchen; and there's a short somewhere. So we can only use the kitchen jack unless we figure out where the problem is. And that is, unfortunately, about _this_ much more work than I'm

I've described this before on occasion; I consider there to be a wide variety of tests. - Unit test = my code works - Functional test = my design works - Integration test = my code is using your 3rd party stuff correctly (databases, et

I'll go with a bank account, because that was one of the initial examples for automated testing. I would write integration/system (different, but similar, imo) to test that the black box integrations with the system work as expect

And sometimes you only need screws, instead of nails; or vice versa. But that doesn't invalidate the tool; it just means your use case doesn't need it.
