Yes, fear is in the mind, but despite the fear, the danger is real. Fear prevents progress but blindness to real danger can cause tragedy. You need to remember that although the HBO series brought nuclear fears to the forefront it is a seri

I don't think the answer is that simple. Would the initial innovation even be worth pursuing if not the existence of patents? Hard to say. At the very lease we do know that in a decade there's no more strangleholds.

I was born and raised in silicon valley. It was pretty bad across the board. Tons of good programmers got killed including ones that were really solid. Mind you the situation is different now so what you say could be right in a certain way.

I think a novel take home test may work. Anybody have horror stories about candidates who did well on a take home but bombed at the job?

Man the guy you responded to is right. I've interviewed and mistakenly hired several types of these people. Here's the thing, you're not too wrong either. I don't doubt that there are tons of great programmers who can&#x

I had a candidate totally fail the algorithm interview. Is a binary tree balanced? I thumbs downed him. I was overruled and he was hired based off of his credentials, resume and what he talked about in the interview with another person who

I don't think engineers have this as a specific trait. Every worker in any occupation has the attitude you describe above. The thing that truly influences "hard to hire" is supply and demand. With the influx of bootcamps Soft

Realistically I would say a lot of engineers are easy to fire. You only need a certain amount of engineers to do maintenance.

Execs are even easier to fire as they are the furthest away from the front lines, but they're the ones doing the firing so too bad for everyone else.

To verify an entire domain you need to test the full domain. I'm not strictly equating inference or verification to science. I am simply equating this: https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Scientific_method Testing and hyp

He conflates science and logic. Science and logic are two very different things. for example, given: f(x) = x*0; verify the hypothesis that: for all n in Real Numbers, f(n) = 0 To verify the above using science you would tak

The tradeoffs you mention are obvious right? I'm just sort of downplaying the huge bragging Scarface was doing when he mentioned he did some cloud formation and "infrastructure as code" because it's really not that impre

Pro tip: this applies to you to buddy, you don't even know my background so you don't even know which field I have a PhD in or how much older I am than you.

It's an insult drenched in the social politics that are an intrinsic part of our corporate politics. Some positions are useless and ultimately require more politics to stay relevant. Architecture is such a position and you seem to be

You don't even know how much experience I have. I'm saying architecture patterns can be learned from Wikipedia not 'everything'. A devops configuration language (outside the domain of architecture) is not included in thi

This book is great, the only thing missing is how to write fully featured type checker. Hard to find a resource on type checking that has the same practical style as this book.

Architecture is way easier than algorithms. I'm actually the opposite. I hate the idea that people are studying intensely for architecture because it just takes reading the wikipedia summary to get the main point. Architects are usuall

Unlikely he actually behaves this way. The internet is partially a platform where people can lay it all out and tell it like it is.

You know there's this trend going on which makes things kind of confusing and that is accusing everything of being fear mongering even when it may not be. Things like Corona virus not being that bad and how surgical masks are useless.

No dude. The solution is not to use the builder pattern period. Just have a function/constructor with 50 parameters. Why? Because the instantiated object requires all 50 parameters to be fully realized. Having to call 50 separate sette
