I've been subjected to it a few times, and now if it's part of the hiring process I tell the hiring manager I'm not interested. It's a waste of my time. (Many mates do the same) I've found the questions to be too a

I had a manager offer to put on a work hackathon. It was going to be 24 hours of design and code. I figured it would be fun, even if we were building something for the company, free reign micro project would be cool.. We ended up spendin

Clean code... To this day I cringe when I see methods/functions over 20 lines long.. Or when I see commented code blocks in one function.. Other have mentioned The Mythical Man Month, and I'd say it's a great book. Sadly, mo

I'd argue that you have near 100% control over the work/office culture of your employer. You have 100% control over who you work for, so you can control the office culture you work in. It's a 1 to 1 relationship. If durin

I remember VS 2000.. That was a game changer as an IDE for me. Though yeah borland c++ was great too. Even metroworks for palm. Back when IDE's did their job, out of the box.

I'd add elixir to that list too. For the most part, the language differences are not really capitalised on.

When you're hit by a car, or passed by a bus, you realise quickly that it's your job. Because someone has to do the job, or you die. They should, but OMG cars don't

I've not had an electric bill this year. My panels make way more than I use. I'm cool with them.

You can fire customers.. I've done it a few times.

Totally agree.. As a rails dev I'm asked to dig into ops.. Not once is the JS team asked to build out the rails code, or fix things in it when it glitches. The api business logic falls down, and thats on me. But when ops is glitchy, I

I have to say that as a rails dev I've never found there to be a lack of documentation. Not if there's even a little bit of a PR process in place. Rails in general is a huge proponent of test, then code. The tests are the docum

100% agree.. If the services/jobs are focused, then even massive projects can be held in your head. And these can be built out if they're not there, so they can be the road to recovery

For me that eco system is worth so much. I find the docs in elixir so sparse, and often land on rails docs because google can't find enough to fill a page. - SO is the same, I get rails answers. Active Jobs make background tasks so i

"Clean code" is a top contender.

If they're a public space, then you should have that right. If they're a publisher then yeah agree. I think a case could be made that they have to pick a lane.

I'd say much the same as it is today. If I think how much it's changed in 10 years, it doesn't feel all that different. I'm still writing ruby most days. The focus will switch to even more web based. Likely more secur

But you can do that in text too. I mean if it's wall of text dump, no; but if people keep their chat blocks short, then it's a two way convo. (or more)

by baash05 5y ago
Personally, I like having chat's with my mates, over vids. I can chat with them async too. I don't need to see them to hear their voice in text.

Yeah. And what does "programmer mean". Python, c++, java, css? Am I coding for windows? Then I'd need a windows box. Iphone? -> Mac, .... Also what about preferences. I work on a team with 20 devs.. some of us use Vim t

I think it's all right. You could even accept csv's to do this thing. For the post or update it would be resource/import

I loved the bit about a project being due on Monday, and that means I should work on the weekend. If the project is due on Monday then weeks before it should be ready to go. If it's not done Monday, descope, or push the deadline.

github projects and wiki.

Sure.. but not illegally so. I mean a job advert for a programmer would discriminate against people who couldn't, or don't believe in the practices of the company.

So we're cool with Peer pressure made me do it? I mean that's okay I suppose. But every time I've done something for peer pressure, I've had to pay for it myself. Still the debt was on me. I'd say about half the ki

by baash05 5y ago
But aren't these debts self imposed? I paid mine off in 12 years, and never once worked in the field. My degree has helped me very little in the 20 years since.. But the decision to get incur the debt was mine and mine alone. I can&

Don't forget the real tax cost of setting it up. Millions on millions. On something that might, sort of do something? 20 new hospitals or a covid passport?

So your PCR score indicates you've had the shot and you're immune to the strain you've had. And that means nothing really. You can still catch and transmit other strains. So sure it tells people they won't die of X b
