   Could be. But any particular interest is def not true (windows programming), so more like some niche interest. But this is the definition of niche interest, isnt it.

   I think a few hundred programmers in the 90s is underestimating the numbers by a factor of at least 1000 and (probably much much) more. Of course such numbers are difficult to estimate, but here some pointers: It was introduced in school i

   Maybe you havent worked for a company which changes your priorities and then doesnt want to pay the performance bonus because the original (written down) goal was not met?

   You can also use goals as a shield. Since the company agreed it is high priority other work should not interfere with it. Of course if you manager thinks otherwise one can mutually change the list (which ppl only will do if the new thing is

   Try for a while the other advises, but also consider switching careers. Companies who pay for security are sometime paranoid and might not like a background like this. What about looking for entry level software development.

    Isnt that the price of an unbranded jeans?

    Where is having somebody repairing your clothing cheap? Mending a pair of jeans here costs almost as much as a new pair.

    I think we shoudnt even call it a vulnerability. They send the 'secret' information in the html file, hoping that the browser does not render it (which it doesnt, so 'viewing source' was the way to see the information).

    Whats the difference between the pro and normal version (apart fr 100$}.

    1$ in component price is like 4$ in device sales price. It needs more to be in the 5 cents range.

    I think what is important is once to have seen couple of times the happy path (successful project) and at least the unhappy path (unsuccessful project) and see how a senior can mitigate the repercussion of the unsuccessful project. Basical

    At some point you get too many parameters, so you pass a struct, which basically means that struct turned into an object. (one interesting difference is that you can pass more than one different struct to that function which is the equivale

    Exactly. So obviously the code base is an asset. If one then want to define technical debt it is more like the difference of the value of the code base compared to the imagined/perceived value of the code base. But this does not help w

    Well, if too many corners are cut, people understand it as well 'for this feature we have to fix the architecture, we have been cutting too many corners, so otherwise the whole thing will crumble' makes it pretty clear. Also it te

    It is not the same. Financial debt has to be on the balance sheet; technical debt is not. My point is the a finance/business guy will think in the totally wrong direction with what you actually mean. Also to whom do you repay technical

    Bigger question:"whom do they owe the debt to?" - "to themselves" - "oh, then just strike it off" of course thats a silly answer: "to the code base" - "who owns the code base" - "the co

    Isnt that called 'business development' at the C-level?

    by andi999 5y ago

    I think the term 'technical debt' is not good. It creates the wrong mindset if you talk to a business person, since they probably get into the mind frame of 'financial debt'. Why not call it 'we have been cutting co

    Powerful good guy can work (see e.g. Singapore); usually the problem is when the powerful good guy retires another powerful guy is the successor, but you dont have any checks and balances to make sure if they are good or not. So after a few

    My experience is it is easier to go with the flow (with kids), so if the 2 year old can only adjust 1 hour of jetlag per day then you start with going to sleep at 4am and work your way down.

    I think stones get an implicit bad rap here, I mean people should listen to them more. In Fukushima there were stones which said:do not build below this level; that was ignored. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news&#x2F
