This makes me think of required summer reading in lower and middle school. I hated it so much. We’d have to read something like 5-10 books over the three month break. It was totally counter productive. The point was to get us to read a lot,

Are mom and pop stores included in the data? What about law firms, doctors offices, mutual funds? I don’t think we’d consider those new businesses to be start ups.

I work for a company with a Java backend and no one has ever accused us of being fast. Worse is that development on the backend is so slow that small, competing startup have been able to build out 5x more features (and more useful features

Reflection is the main thing. Think about the topic at a later date, try to dig deeper, compare and contrast it against similar concepts, apply it to different scenarios, summarize it in your own words and write that down, teach it to anoth

I'm certainly a big fan of solar power, but rooftop solar is a little silly. Rooftop solar would make sense if we had some shortage of land and couldn't just fill up empty fields with panels, but that's not the case. It'

Agreed. If life as an engineer in LA sucks, and you have nothing left in LA, then move on to greener pastures. It won’t be easy, but it sounds like you need a change.

At question is whether the benefits of static typing outweigh their costs. From my experience (purely anecdotal) static typing provides a false sense of security that encourages bad practices, thus turning the benefits of types into costs t
