Your whole argument boils down to "don't write shit software" which yeah, fair, but in the real world, the company that you just joined has shit code that evolved over 10 years and has accumulated all sorts of legacy cruft. T

None of what you wrote is covered under any reasonable definition of "facts". It's literally all just your opinion.

Apart from the fact that not everyone uses Visual Studio, "connected services" appears to be something by which you can connect to existing cloud-based services. How does that solve the problem of a mess of interconnected services

That's a style of discussion that goes nowhere. Either you believe in an argument, then you should be prepared to defend it - or you don't. Saying "I don't actually believe this, but lots of people do, so we should take

Not trite at all. Bad code and bad architectures are a reality. You can fix them in theory, but that takes a lot of time and needs to be done incrementally. In the meantime, you have to live with the problem at hand.

> Most services are written in Go though and are pretty lightweight That's probably the difference. Throw elasticsearch, kafka and a bunch of Java services in and you'll be easily exhausting your RAM (at least at startup).

You can't compare Microsoft to your run-of-the-mill small (or even large) software shop, though. Maybe on HN, most people work on these amazingly designed systems, but in my experience most tech out there is shit and has no proper desi

I'm sure companies with well designed and properly isolated services exist but... in my time spent at several companies, "microservices" invariably degenerate to distributed monoliths.

One time at a corporate retreat, we had to fill out each others' "friend books" (I'm not making this up). One question was about our personal motto. I wrote down "Hell is other people" - I think some people too

Even if it was indeed fully optional and nobody felt the obligation to share even though they didn't want to (which I find hard to believe), you have to consider that you're also imposing on the people who are listening. They didn

This has nothing to do with it. I'm not from the US and I find this deeply unprofessional.

Yeah but you don't form strong social bonds through awkward team exercises. The best team I worked on was super high performing and we did end up sharing personal stuff on our spare time eventually (and some of us are still friends yea

It's funny how people in this thread are arguing that the 10% isn't a big deal when we have TFA describing how they shared personal details about their divorce upon hearing this prompt, and that other people apparently shared even

This is definitely not what anyone would think of when prompted to "be vulnerable".

I agree and this wasn't the only red flag in the post for me. The reverence for a company that does, in the end, "just" process payments or the part about "a billionaire liked my project"... I feel like there's

Because knowing how you derive arithmetic from axioms isn't necessary for mathematical modeling. Mostly only logicians, theoretical computer scientists etc . need to know about PA. Euler and Gauss didn't know about PA (it hadn&#x2

If you use numerical methods routinely, you need to know about error propagation too, otherwise you may get results that are completely wrong. That's theory too, although of a different kind than the typical symbolic calculus.

I'm sorry, but if you don't know how to solve x+1=7, you don't actually understand maths.
