Ah - I think I see what you're saying. At the same time, I don't think I agree with your premise. The numbers in front of us seem to indicate it's not just slightly different, it's dramatically more likely to end up in t

I think what the parent comment is suggesting is pregnancy (and sodomy) overwhelmingly impact the people directly involved with it. It's extremely unlikely (though still possible, technically) that one person sodomizing another will tr

To preface this, I am not bought in on the way the mandates have been done. I think there's huge room for improvement, and it feels a bit ham-fisted rather than well thought through. That said... > In Ontario, today, the majority of

It looks like the old man was stopped for honking. Not sure on the timing of everything, there was an injunction granted against honking downtown Ottawa. He appears to have been arrested for refusing to identify himself when stopped (it loo

What percentage of developers in Canada do you believe are making >= 150$/hour? People generally aren't that forthcoming with salaries but I'm not sure if I know anyone making >= 200k/year CAD. Am I in a bubble and

I completely agree. I have worked at a company that had exactly this trajectory. It's also not just the number of employees, but also the age of the code and the number of micro-pivots that nobody bothered actually refactoring through

I've heard it referred to as "trunk-based development". I think it's not so much subpar as contextual. If there's a team of 2 developers pushing as hard as possible to get something out, I completely agree with OP t

I think there's a lot of grey area for what "style" is, but e.g. formatting and what not is pretty easy and not-contentious in my experience. Most people want consistency more than they want their way. How I did it as part of

Even worse than that - you have to go into the "danger zone" on GitHub, and then there's a big banner that says "Warning: Potentially destructive operation" and also the gates you mentioned. They bypassed numerous s

First of all, neat concept. Small point, on desktop I have a horizontal scroll bar for what appears to be intended as a full width site, which is always a bit of a pet peeve. I understand it's a technology demonstration, I'm strug

Acknowledging my bias towards correctness first (or a harness for explicitly experimenting), I think your step 3 ("3. Fix and iterate it") is rarely ever done and that absence puts people off. In the corporate environments I work

This is definitely a weird thread in that regard. Maybe people aren't appreciating how many people will do all sorts of things for money? The more outrageous requirements require a more trusting relationship between employer and employ

I'm guessing OP was referring to serverless vs on-prem? I don't think public cloud is significantly different than serverless in terms of CAPEX vs OPEX, whereas private cloud is big CAPEX.

I think what the parent comment is saying (that I agree with) is that it's easy to over-estimate the cost and under-estimate the value. You don't _have_ to do anything with types, but it's another tool to use where it makes s
