Idk, have you seen the interfaces with default implementations in latest C#? Also duck typing? Both are mistakes IMO. First missteps I feel like I've seen C# make.

Web dev is a fairly broad term. If you only know Angular/CSS/Typescript, you're kinda out of luck unless you start brushing up on your Node chops. If you're writing web APIs, it's a much smaller jump. Embedded syste

This is such a click bait headline I don't even want to comment. Web Development is boring if you think it's boring. A lot of people don't. If you do think it's boring, there are a lot of industries that need programmers

Ask your favorite personal digital assistant to set a reminder and then swap it out using all the time you save not lugging bottled water home from the store.

It's not the logic that's the problem as much as the fact that the systems are meant to work with clean data, and the fact that data could not just be missing, but straight up incorrect was never considered as a valid possibility.

I agree, but practically a lot of bad software practices happen when middle management don't fully communicate the tradeoffs that are made when designing and building software. I find it hard to believe that this was a problem that no

This is super interesting stuff, simply because of the thought process. Every once and a while you run into those tech problems that really push your limits and it's cool to see how they worked through it.

It's not the heat, it's the increased use. when you're hardwired, you get enough power that your phone just bypasses the battery. If you use a charging mat, you still 'run' from battery. This means increased cycles

I think the point OP is making is that there is plenty of bad software out there that (as a result of a combination of incompetence, scope creep, bad decisions, and short timelines) just isn't resilient, testable, and single use anymor

The Trinity study said a conservative number was 4%. Since then a lot of people said "Well, I don't want a conservative number, I want a number that has no chance of failure", so went to 3.5% or 3%. Practically I don't t

I think the counterpoint to this would be Google Search. The core product is incredibly simple from a frontend perspective, but the backend is world-class engineering. I think making information usable is hard. This means that the burden of

This is so true it hurts. It honestly sounds like a pretty great idea, so I can see why product would be behind it. "We won't have a login experience like other providers, it would be a total $BRAND_EXPERIENCE_HERE" Then you

The problem with #2 is that if a company spends $30k of time and effort to get an employee trained up, the poaching company can offer a raise of 10k and still be in the black 3 years later. If the original company decided to match that offe

I agree and am against non competes, but feel weird about how that would be replaced. Obvious thought is to put a monitary value of the training and let that value "vest" over a year or two, so if the employee leaves early they ha

I don't think it's down to bad luck, but it's the fact that there is an undeniable correlation between being a good dev at a startup and that startup succeeding. It's obviously not the strongest correlation, but it'

I feel like this is the reason stuff doesn't get shipped. If you couldn't release v.01 without adding in a robust analytics suite, nothing would ever get released. Nothing wrong with releasing a .01v and not putting priority on an

This whole thing is just a large amount of click bait. Ok, 1 in 4 adults check the phone less than a minute after waking up. 1 in 4 adults probably use the bathroom within 5 minutes of checking their phone! This is just to offend those who

As someone who has never smoked, but juuls occasionally, I would like to see some studies on the health effects on nicotine alone. Much of the anti smoking literature focuses on the health effects of inhaling burning plant matter along with

I agree with you, but as a note, you'll cough just as hard if you hit a 0mg nicotine vape for the first time. It's not the nicotine that makes you cough.

Of course "don't by the avacado toast or lattes" doesn't help save you money when you aren't buying that stuff in the first place. Complaining that advice on Google that applies to the 15%-85% bracket doesn't a

Well, I feel like the environment of the job coupled with the developer causes over-engineering, rather than true technical concerns. I'm fairly young for my new role and architecting (from the ground up) some fairly big systems. I&#x2

I agree, I'm of the opinion "hangouts" isn't dead. I don't see them removing a chat option from gmail. So far, they've pretty much kept the consumer and enterprise gmail experience the same. I feel like Google

I think one big difference would be taxes. A per diem over expenses would be considered compensation, and would involve both income and payroll taxes. Otherwise, I'd work for free, have the company give me a per diem of X a day and jus

If I'm working on a project I don't have external motivation for, like a personal project, etc. I'll make sure I stop working only when I reach parts that are fun or at least clear. Next time I sit down, I want to either look

But that's the thing, by definition, you can't always move up, and in a lot of cases, it's harmful trying to move up when you're really not ready to spend the effort it takes to give there. It's statistically unlike

I disagree. I think it would be interesting to do that same article, but replace the MIT tuition with that of a decent in state school, and replace the housing prices with those of a medium/large midwest city like Omaha, Cleveland, or
