Rust avoids a lot of the C++ pitfalls out of the gate with a split core vs std library set. Panic handling and message formatting are something that however is a known drawback in debug builds. In release builds this gets optimized away in

I feel like half of what's here points to using rust or a rust like language as a good thing. Even I suppose C++ if you can use the pointer types to help yourself.

I've heard of several automotive related companies cutting salaries by 10% to 20%. These are highly paid engineers, managers, and such.

If you really need their walled garden services perhaps. Personally I feel like AWS has forever poisoned the well for me on those but I get the appeal.

Childcare costs could be somewhat indirectly related to grandparents having to retire later or not at all.

The US more or less hates kids and parents. You want more kids? Our society needs to reduce health care and childcare costs while socially making the "village" more of a socially accepted setup. I have 3 generations in my house wi

If you use rhel the guarantees are also very strong though it requires some extra steps to package and distribute your own software. Ubuntu on the other hand I've found breaks stuff often enough to be a nuisance.

Emacs is awesome. The default setup is near useless. Elisp is really not exciting.

So this is why everyone in the valley needs mega pay checks. Likely Made in PRC made casters, $700 USD + shipping and tax. If there were ever a sign that Apple is charging too much for their products (as if the signs weren't already th

If your asking the former vp from Intel that transferred to moovit I think he'd disagree strongly, your right. I'm sure he got nothing from the deal.

What a terrible purchase. Moovit is worth exactly $0.

Go has no expressiveness to it. You end up either with a large pile of copy pasted code, code generators, or massively error prone runtime introspection. Go blows up the entire idea of Don't Repeat Yourself. The language actively encou

Liking Go has nothing to do with being a quality software engineer. Go itself is probably the least software engineering friendly language out there. The goal of a computer language is to express your thoughts and instructions into somethin

If they are really letting go of their hard found engineering talent its a serious signal that they don't believe this to be a short term issue. Assuming the highly paid engineers around the bay took a good deal of effort, and signific

Snap is honestly driving me away from Ubuntu. Managed systems are less manageable with snap involved.

This is very much the contract to hire route. I honestly think this is a mostly sane route, but it does leave the person to be hired in perhaps an awkward position. I have a family now, working nights and weekends is almost impossible.

I felt the same way after writing a large (100kloc) project in Go, this is back when go was 1.0 or so as well. It started off well enough, but eventually started to fail in helping me create the software I needed to make.

Syntax is fine, to me the weak typing gets old. Yes there's tooling to help annotate and check usage of annotated types but it's not nearly as good as Rust in typing help to make correct programs.
