Calling Bacon just a mathematician (first sentence of the text) seems quite reductive. Other than that it was an interesting read. I think the Wikipedia page is better - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Bacon

> What’s the job market like? You mean fewer jobs? Based on my anecdotal data it’s not good. And yes - fewer actual jobs. Last year I did some interviewing throughout the year and it seemed things were picking up to before-COVID level. A

I've been based in London since 2018. One thing that I have noticed in the past year (apart from the overall abysmal state of the job market) is that IT salaries have actually went way down. When I moved, I started at a higher salary t

I do most of my back-end development inside WSL (C#/C++, some JS). There's a way to run GUI Linux apps from WSL as well (for example GitKraken which I use on both Windows and from WSL) which is awesome - https://learn.m

I've used a Mac in my previous job and it was OK experience. The M1's hardware is truly great (I bought one for myself as well, since I didn't have a laptop at the time) and I like the portability. There are a lot of smaller

I won't try to predict the future as far as such ML models will take our jobs or not. However, I'd like to point out to most people that working on and studying fundamentals won't be a time wasted. Even if programming disappe

Not to be combative, but I didn't say anything about being smarter or master at web FE and React. My comment was supposed to be seen as more like how @hathawsh read it. It's easy to do work with React if you have a good programmin

This makes for a quite compelling case relating to the Casey Muratori video around clean code that made the tech community rounds recently. The developer of SumatraPDF has rolled his own implementations for a lot of things in order to reduc

I agree with you around VS and I use it all the time. The problem is that Rider for example is the same. I've had the chance to do a project with Rider recently and I have to say performance-wise both VS and Rider are just slow and pro

How about we actually create more performant native tools? I'm sick of the trend where we have this beastly hardware and things are actually getting slower and slower with each generation.

There are good arguments from both sides of the fence in the “generic solution” VS “custom solution” debate. I think the decision should be made on a case by case basis after sufficient analysis has been conducted. For example, I wouldn’t d
