Author seems to have a zero-sum world view, and think that everything that goes up must come down. I personally don't believe in either. Tech workers will continue to be in increasingly high demand, and automation, AI and "no-code

By all means share ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ To be clear, I'm not saying taking notes etc is never beneficial - I do it all the time, mostly for stuff that I need rarely enough to not remember by heart but often enough to justify making a note so

Very refreshing to see content like this. Personally I'm VERY sick of the whole productivity hustle and the people who spout it. They prey on insecurities, make you feel like unless you're employing some kind of productivity syste

As a professional dev who has made a career out of working in oop languages and codebases, I agree, and it took me far too long to realize that when it comes to oop, the emperor has no clothes. To this day, oop advocates can't even agr

To me, it seems like the comic is saying, rather than using a switch in your environment as a crutch for happiness, find happiness in your routine. Having a routine that makes you happy is important and not bad advice! But sometimes, at lea

Disagree. I grew up in Scandinavia but have since lived many different places all over the world and for me it remains enjoyable to move someplace new, get to know it and the culture over a few years, and if I stagnate or get bored, switch

I wish there were more articles like this. So much content online on programming languages go trough the basics of the language itself, with very "forced" code examples to showcase some feature of the language, and while they&#x27

I'm not saying it wasn't a complicated situation. But that's not how this is depicted or thought of in Sweden. In Sweden's blinkered, self glorifying version, Sweden really were neutral (in the intuitive, common sense un

Oh man, the Swedes stubbornly taking pride in being "neutral" really grinds my gears first of all, given how much Sweden helped the nazis, including literally transporting nazi troops to invade neighboring countries, and providing

For sure, it's great that people like Josh Bloch, Brian Goetz (and many others) have been very aware of and trying to address all the problems and endorse (and enforce) solutions to them (for decades at this point) but as much as I hat

Agreed! I lost patience with the backwards Java community long ago, there's no arguing with them, they refuse to even consider trying anything other than what they're used to, so what's the point. Better to move on and leave

A good first framework to wane off Spring is DropWizard. But there are countless others and they all do more or less the same thing, except much better, and with far less complexity, than Spring.

I have also been in multiple organizations where Spring was used, including "modern" Spring Boot and greenfield projects, and people who knew every nook and cranny of Spring. I don't agree with any of the things you bring up.

I'm in an enterprise and have successfully lobbied people to use anything other than Spring. Such organizations and teams while rare do exist so don't give up hope! (or just move to a more progressive org)

This is great. Java BADLY needs to shed weight and verbosity and in general just catch up with the times. Having used not only traditional Java and Spring (including "modern" Spring boot) but also alternatives, like eg DropWizard,

This is why most mainstream languages are increasingly coming around to the benefits of FP. I would love to use Haskell at work but Kotlin + Arrow gets 90% of the way there while staying familiar and easier to learn.

Of course you can't stop at simply getting rid of cars and calling it a day, there's countless other things that would have to come with that. Obvious ones include improving public and active transport, but really, fundamental tra

I actually agree with this. Tokyo isn't like Amsterdam, where there is an explicit goal to reduce reliance on cars. Instead, the relative lack of cars is kind of an accident resulting from other policies and ideas. I'll take it ov

In the case of Stockholm, public transport is better than places like LA and Brisbane Australia (which isn't saying much), but hilariously bad compared to Tokyo and London. So it's somewhere in between. livability without a car li

Git is complex, which is fine. People take that to mean they need to learn and teach git in intricate detail, and use it in ways that are needlessly complex, which is dumb.

I honestly don't understand how "cities" like Adelaide, Auckland and Wellington keep making these lists of "most liveable cities". Their low populations mean they just don't have much of the things that make ci
