TDD is fine when you have a specification to work to. A lot of software development in the real world is quite "experimental". Requirements are poor so devs need to provide what is essentially a prototype and receive feedback unti

We have a PhD computer scientist working as as software engineer. Reinvents the wheel constantly. Over engineers everything. Clever algorithms but poor abstractions. Needs to have the "best" (from a CS perspective) solution to eve

What happened with rent control in Berlin? Rent control sounds like a good idea in theory but in practice it seems the opposite, creating two tiers of renters.

How volatile is the housing market in Germany? And there are solutions to the other problems - getting the house properly surveyed before buying, insurance for fires.

This is terrifying. You aren't actually killing your political opponents but just cutting them off from being able to do anything in the modern world.

> especially those of whom who hate and distrust "big tech" Does anyone actually trust big tech at this stage? I thought it was just a case of how much you distrust them.

I have been here for a few years, there are definitely some areas of groupthink. HN knows it's tech, but it's politics aren't generally as well thought through.

Agree. I used to respect and defend the scientific establishment. In the days of Covid it seems more of an appeal to authority on what some scientist says rather than actual science. And there are plenty of other experts who are ignored for

A quick search on twitter shows that not to be true.

We have a rather good state run healthcare system where I am and we also had the first two problems you describe. - You can't get free tests easily. - almost overwhelmed hospitals - pretty much at their limit. We have pretty much the s

Out of interest what do you actually expect him to have done regarding covid? He wanted to ban flights from CHina but that was shouted down as being racist. We have had all sorts of nonsense restrictions here in Europe, masks have been mand

>Twitter started by fact checking him back in November. "This claim is disputed", yet the Flat Earth Societies page remained unchallenged. It's clearly political bias more than a search for the truth.

You know what a good manager looks like after they leave. It's like being a newsreader, you don't notice a good one but a bad one is very obvious.

The tech lead at my place has just burned himself out and quit after making a load of poor decisions. He reinvents the wheel over and over again rather than use some prebuilt solution. I am going to have to maintain his undocumented, untest

To play devils advocate. Perl 6 is an example of where not shipping was a major contributor to the decline of the language. Shame, as it looks interesting.

Exactly, especially when vitamin D (the one your body generates from sunlight) appears to be a factor in severity of infections. So much of the response doesn't make sense. Lockdown because China did it. Then keep on locking down despi
