Depends who you work with. Saying that when I consider co-workers my friends then such events don't feel like "work" events.

I think corona hysteria may have overshadowed Brexits effects on the British economy.

My place is implementing stuff in React, not for any reason, just because. I have suggesting that server side rendering might make things simpler, but it just assumed that we need React in this day an age.

Wondering if databases are worth learning? SQL is still one of the most in demand tech skills and has been for decades (for good reason in my opinion).

I think once you have been working in tech for a decade or so, you start to see the fashion show for what it is. Constant churn for the sake of it. Sure some stuff is genuinely useful, but the majority of it gets forgotten about pretty quic

As a backend dev I have spent a fair bit of time in the last few years fixing shitty outdated frontend stuff. Angular 1, Dojo at present. It would have been so much easier and more maintainable if these apps had been done with server side r

My guess is that > 90% of people using Kubernetes will never need to scale elastically. My company uses it, cost a ton of developer time. It gives us high availability which is nice, but we have no need for the scaling in the foreseeable

The thing is a LAMP stack would serve most businesses needs fine and would take a fraction of the effort to implement. Server side rendering and a bit of jQuery. Actually matching technology to requirements is going to make me unemployable

What exactly is the "car accident" argument and why is it wrong? All I see in that section is putting the death toll in proportion to other causes of death that we pretty much ignore, which seems entirely reasonable.

> They are benefiting enormously from the free labour of moderators A lot of people leave Reddit because of the heavy handed moderation and groupthink.

Is Reddit even generating a profit? 6 billion means approximately 1 dollar from every person on the planet. I struggle to see how Reddit is able to provide that much value.

I would disagree on some of those. The quality of discussion is higher provided you don't mind the lack of humour. And the diversity of thoughts and opinions isn't that high because of the strict moderation. If you want true diver

My virtualenv for work comes in at 847Mb (actually a lot more than I expected). I have a 2Tb disk attached to my machine. For all intents and purposes, we do have unlimited disk space.

It's easier just to find a better place to discuss your thoughts. Many subreddits especially anything politically related are echo chambers.

I have seen plenty of predictions from the 80s or 90s that didn't come true. So it would seem that there are multiple models. How do I find out what ones have been correct in their long term predictions?

This. The covid predictions have been utterly wrong so far based on Imperial College's models. Can I trust climate change models more and why should I?

The OP made an unsubstantiated claim with no evidence, why can't I call that out? There are plenty of things you could catch from playing in dirt that could lead to long term health problems.
