I think it would be more accurate to say "as most of the people who wish they met this skill set". I don't know anyone who approaching meeting those requirements who thinks anything better than "meh, they made a couple

Amazon is infamous for being a terrible place to work that drives people away in a few years (notice how everyone works there for 2-4 years?). Saying "this is no worse than amazon" is about as damning as you can get.

I have literally never seen a single "competent software developer" who understands indexing or query optimization at all . All I see is spray and pray style indexing (create indexes semi-randomly until things seem fast enough).

Our notions of "extremely likely" differ then. I have never had syslogd crash. If you have, you should be switching to a different syslogd.

That quote is entirely inapplicable though. It is in fact much easier to fix the simple, do one thing and do it well unix style applications. They are not hard to get at or repair. This is one area where I think the linux philosophy winn

>If the pipe consumer (i.e. your syslog server) stalls, then it will be much worse than writing to a local file, as it could cause a denial of service. But how likely is that to happen in any circumstance that doesn't also bring dow

I would say they are wrong too. But the PA ad is almost certainly looking for exactly that level of skill, while using words that sound like they are looking for someone who actually knows what they are doing. So when the guy writes a res

Differing expectations doesn't mean one set of expectations is wrong. If someone claims they can do database administration, and then I ask them a basic question like what indexes would you need to create for an example query, and the

Yes. And of the small number of people who believe they can do that, 99% of them can not.

Yes, it is. I do not understand this mentality where people go "I know nothing about X, therefore I will assume everything people say about X is wrong, and pose an alternate hypothesis that contradicts existing evidence, and it is up

That has nothing to do with the subject though. Being shy and being an introvert are not the same thing. I am not shy, I am not "the quiet guy". I am an introvert. There is nothing to fix or improve.

How does something this bad end up the top comment? Three out of four links you provided are completely irrelevant. It is not missing pipes. Pipes are a simple composition operator. Haskell already has that, no need to make a special ve

I do have all my different applications go through a suitable layer to access the data. That layer is called postgresql. It stores all the data, and all the rules about what constitutes valid data. This way, there is never any chance of

You can "actually" all you want, but it doesn't change reality. The vast majority of people are neither feminists nor MRAs. Even if the absurdity of you trying to equate two different positions were overlooked, the total of

That is an awful lot of fallacious reasoning packed into one sentence. What evidence do you have that this guideline is arbitrary? It will need to be pretty compelling evidence given the overwhelming evidence showing higher click through r

That is primarily a git thing. And the reason is that your main assertion was not true for the primary developer of git. "The project is what we are interested in: the Python or C++ or LaTeX or whatever" was not the case for Lin

You have a very fundamental misunderstanding that is making you create a distinction that doesn't actually exist. There is no "non-blocking use case". The use case is web development. You absolutely do not need to use even

Repeating the same thing is not productive. Nobody cares about personal taste or what you do or do not prefer. That has nothing to do with the topic.

>'s' has no meaning by itself That is exactly the point. It is just a string. That is the entire context of the variable, there is no more insight to be gained. The more generic a function is, the more generic the argument i

That's fine. But the point is that it isn't naming things as tersely as possible, it is naming things based on the value the name provides. There is no name you can give to "s" to make it more meaningful or useful. Th

I wish I lived in your world. Where I am, 90%+ of web developers believe there are two options for making web sites: "LAMP" and .net/sql server. I am constantly dealing with web developers who genuinely don't even know
