I see a lot of discussion on Rust vs $LANG, but nobody seems to be discussing what I think is the meat of this announcement: 1. Fewer tradeoffs for third-party dependencies Most JavaScript/npm packages have to balance a lo

I think the point GP is making is that this categorization is counterproductive to solving the underlying issues, regardless of what consensus is reached on the taxonomy of our place in the wider ecosystem. To make an analogy: It's a l

Fair points, and thanks for the references--I'd rather know about bias than not.

I usually ask this question multiple ways with different wording as I go through an interview panel. They're generally along the lines of: 1. What does your roadmap look like? Do you have a roadmap? 2. How reliable is the team about hi

That is one of many ways to address these issues. The underlying problem that needs to be resolved is that the average security posture of most companies is bad and we (US citizens and anyone else vested in the economic well being of the US

Depends a lot on the companies and positions you’re interviewing for. I work in technical security these days and did very little in the way of actual code quizzes compared to when I was a straight up software engineer. I think it also help

I agree that these are all good things, but they cover the what and not the why. I find design documents useful to cover the why--something that results in a long comment in my experience is usually indicative of some non-trivial design d

I absolutely agree, which is my primary concern with enforcing vaccination uptake. I have trouble picturing a world where we can have those rights remain strong while also forcing folks to be vaccinated.

You raise an excellent point. When you sign up for the US military you give up a lot of your rights. This is definitely bad from a perspective of individual rights, though I can see arguments for a draft being a matter of addressing an exis

I’m all for getting everyone vaccinated as well, but I’d be really concerned about the precedent this sets. The reasons governments are reluctant to do this is they it sets a precedent for them to dictate what a person can do with their bod

From what I've dealt with so far, two things complicate this process: 1. Hiring any employees in addition to yourself. 2. Incorporating in a state different than the one you operate in. Things are much simpler if you don't do ei
