I don't think it's about quality or productivity, I think it's about predictability. Most teams have an estimation process where features are sized so that they can arrive at a product plan. Most teams also don't have a

And there's always more wide-eyed youngsters that want to make games. That's why individual game developers have very little leverage to push back. If they want to end this sort of treatment, they should form a union. That's

Yes I was affected, just less than others. I still had to think about the issue whenever I changed hands or adjusted my grip. Having to keep something front-of-mind is being affected because it's consuming part of your focus.

If you're considering Java, you might consider a Java-derivative like Kotlin. It's similar enough to Java that it's suitable for basically any task where Java will work. The IDE support is great and the learning curve for any

First, Rust is a far superior language to JavaScript, so even if it were a 1-for-1 swap, we'd still be coming out ahead. But you've forgotten a huge example of a language that fits into your "narrow profile." Swift is al

The quibble could also be with the "low-fat" portion of the advice. Grouping all fats into a single category is about as useful as grouping fruits and vegetables together. There's nuance to which fats to eat, but they're

Because a lot of us really hate JavaScript. I see JavaScript as being somewhat like racism. It used to be really bad and it's gotten a little better. And those who are happy with the status quo (JS devs) keep saying stuff along the lin

They also know how much credit has been extended to you. Credit card companies and mortgage lenders know your income when making a decision to lend. You can probably work backwards from that info to salary within a +/- 20%.
