I think it is more to do with the massive rise in code academies and bootcamps over the past decade. There are just a lot of barely skilled people in the industry with minimal passion. Hiring processes haven't caught up yet to filter f

The only people I encounter using ORMs are junior devs or folks who who keep moving project to project before they get a chance to support something in production. The first time you get an issue and go "wtf" at an ORM you switch

The connotations to western audiences carried by Arabic words and imagery in 1965 is vastly different to the connotations conveyed today. It would be incredibly distracting and offputting to modern audiences trying to grasp the core story.

Definitely agree with the first part. The most important thing you interview for is passion and any discussion that lets the candidate show that more is great. Hard disagree on the bit about uncle Bob. Everything he says isn't gold but

Critical take below, but i appreciate the hard work spent in building this and i think its going to help a lot of people. This is productizing a totally broken understanding of code reviews it seems. Anybody can stare at someone else's

Sonar os actually an incredibly powerful tool for dev teams WHEN they know how to use it and configure it according to their agreed upon standards. When it's used thoughtlessly, as it often is, it's terrible.

At the end of the day, the ONLY way to reliably do this is to hook into the databases native journal/log anyway. Postgres gives you better primitives to work with than installing Qlik for example.

You need two types of experience: deep and abstract. You need the deep experience of having worked inside the beaurocracy of a huge effort on some tiny piece of the project. You need the abstract experience of having built a smaller, less c
