Interesting. I haven't seen this in the areas I've lived in. I wonder if it's more of a "big fish" type thing, where people that are the "big fish" in an area tend to tip worse (and expect people to be imp

I would argue it's more likely that most wealthy people that are the type to let you know they're wealthy either didn't tip at all or very little. There's plenty of wealthy people that tip very well, but many of them don

I'm not sure what your point is on this; whether you're saying they make plenty of money, or not enough, or if you're not really speaking to whether it's enough. But speaking directly to the numbers - The smallest monthl

Unit one - returns a useful test for each type of error condition that can occur (N). Test that, for each type of error condition that can occur. One test for each error condition. Unit two - calls unit one - test that, if unit one returns

That seems like a silly opinion to me. I use unit tests to make sure that individual units work like I expect them to. And I use them to test edge cases that can be tested separately from their caller. If I had to test all the use cases for

Just because there are cases where over-validation (email address being the primary example) can be a problem doesn't mean that _no_ type validation is useful. There are many, many places where validation-beyond-primitives is useful, o

The basic idea is that you use tabs to align "blocks" (ie, multiple lines at the same indent level), and then spaces from there to align line "elements") Aligning lines in the same block ____var a; // ind

I've seen many places that were designed "industrial" with various metal parts (conduit, vents, etc) showing; and the people that owned them were very happy with the look. Good code also doesn't need to "look pretty

To be fair, it looks terrible to you (and to me), but there are plenty of people who have no issue with it. Just like there's people who get agida when there's things like toasters that sit out on the kitchen counter, but a lot of

While it's not rocket science, I always find it to be super annoying to do. Getting things smooth/flat when you're done (generally, I think I wind up doing 4-5 layers of mud) takes a fair amount of time. Plus sanding it down

And to be specific, they generally look for _known_ unexpected behavior; in that you need to have a test for it. Though clearly there's still unknowns, like when you're throwing random data at an api to see if you can find bugs. B

Indeed. Tests do not tell you code is correct. They only tell you a list of ways it is not incorrect.

To put it in a less pithy way... bullying is part of life, too. You certainly want to prevent what bullying you can in schools and give your children the tools to cope with it. But being home schooled means you (likely) never deal with it i

It depends entirely where you are. I have fond memories of Math in school; particularly in 6th and 10-12th grades. Teachers were interesting and extremely invested in making sure we enjoyed ourselves and the material. When we were bored, th

As has been shown again and again, what they plan on "now" is irrelevant. What matters is what they (or their successors) can do with it later.

This is what I see as the main point to get out of this. The larger your toolbox, the better you are able to solve problems. Learning new languages adds tools to that toolbox.

Nobody said they're the only way. But they _are_ a very good way, for a variety of reasons (which have already been discussed here).
