Minimal amount of code change required to fix the problem is generally a good sign. A simple fix is always better than a convoluted one. A fix that deletes code instead of adding more sounds fantastic. If the fix contains the tests that rep

I went to the twitter account then find the blog and checked over the blog post titles. I still don't have a clue about what snail text is. What indeed.

Brainfuck is better than any other programming language. It has only 8 different commands to use ( instead of the much more verbose GO programming language ) and those commands are simple, one character long terms. From now on every code wi

It's better to associate classes with encapsulation. I generally don't do inheritance apart from a few weird cases because composition over inheritance works way better.

Think about it the other way. The optimal, very best way for any living organism to live the most healthy and longest life possible is to only sleep and never wake up. That is the ideal state for your body and mind. I recognize the need to

I agree and these are definetly just guides not hard rules to follow. What I'm really against is using a short name which don't convey any meaning. For example 'getRtw' - which is a great shorthand for something we may n

Yeah I misunderstood it. I never wrote a single inline assembly code in C in my life so that probably flew over my head but I hope my general message is clear: don't use less letter than whats needed to be understandable and descriptiv

I found the CleanCode book suggestions good enough for naming conventions: Variable name length should be proportional to its scope. Only used in the next three lines? "i" is good enough. Is it a public field? Then its name should

On Facebook a single moderately offensive post can lead to burning bridges and angry wives. Social attacks can destroy a person life as much as a bank theft can.

Pricy high grade smartphones are consumer grade stuff not something you "need". You can absolutely vote with your wallet. Maybe if you develop for it but then again why did you choose Apple's platform?

Strong type reveals and documents intent. Your code is not written for the compiler, it is written for other people to read and understand(even if that other person is future you).

There is a sci-fi book about scanning a human brain/conciusness to computer and testing wether it recognizes that the computer gets turned off between the tests. Hint; it doesn't as it does not change state. Based on this experime

The world of certificates is not as black or white as the post suggests. I have a few useless certificates too but if I will ever interview a person with a Java8 OCA exam I will not bother him/her with java tests thats for sure.

Not every company feels a blind person is good culture fit, legal or illegal it may be. Not like you can hide in an interview either... My blind programmer friend works at Morgan Stanley, EU.

My problem was with the books is the lack of depths of characters as the story moves forward - at the end they become mere tools to tell the impossible future. But there are astoundig amounts of fascinating ideas and theories in the books i

I sympathize with your problems, I also had to juggle multiple versions for a period of time on multiple projects. Docker thankfully eliminated that and even without it the most you have to do now days is to point "$JAVA_HOME" to
