> Clean code, design patterns etc are just good engineering practices... Not perfectionism .... This is what I don’t like about software engineering. The dogmatism. The absolutism. The more I work in the field, the less I talk about “cle

I’ve worked for companies whose processes resemble what you described. It wasn’t bad at all. Things were delayed, sure, but it wasn’t a big deal (I never worked extra hours). I actually enjoyed it because it was pure joy to implement featur

I have used git extensively in the terminal. But nowadays I see myself more and more relying on GUIs like the ones integrated in Intellij IDE, Source Tree, etc. Another example could be qemu and the GUIs that we have nowadays. One final exa

One thing I don’t understand. The article claims that we need to pay rent to big corps like AWS, which is true only if you’re offering something on the internet (e.g., you have a saas). As a consumer I don’t pay to AWS, I only pay to my isp

I find this cool, but as a software engineer I rarely get the chance to run any of the commands mentioned in the article. The reason: our systems run in containers that are stripped down versions of some Linux, and I don’t have shell access

The more experience I accumulate, the more I rely on GUIs. Explanation: when I was younger I used exclusively the CLI and underestimated GUIs. Now I tend to appreciate GUIs and use them more.

Isn’t that the same case for Robert Martin? I’m not going to be the one defending Uncle Bob, but most of the people out there giving advice about “clean code/architecture” come from the consulting world without any work that can be an

Work dignifies man/Work is a precious thing. Or something like that. I do think that working on your own thing (like a company you start or a project you created) is a precious thing. Working for others is not; it’s a simple exchange o

I think it won’t be a great thing anymore. More like commodity. Is anyone impressed by the difference between the lates iPhone and a model that is 5 years old? Not really, sure these phones get better and better but not to the point of surp

In my experience these kind of companies attract either juniors or people who cannot afford to work for a 100% remote company (because they cannot pass the interview). It’s like the Nigerian prince scam: the emails are written badly on purp

Nice! I think this is a step in the right direction of the future of IDEs. So tired of switching between dozens of tabs which are either sorted by name (fixed and useless) or usage (chaotic) in common IDEs like Intellij and VSCode.

If you want to do great things, do them outside of work. Side projects, open source, etc. Keep your job to pay the bills, maximise salary and minimize working hours.

Also, the job market in EU is healthier I believe. I also picked up a new job this year. Having less than 5 years definitely makes it very hard. Between 5 and 10, is not impossible, but hard. 10+ is good.

I don’t know man. This idea of certain cultures being so distant that they cannot be integrated with others sounds a bit alien to me. If anything, we (all the different cultures in this planet) are the result of a vast amount of mixing over

Why did the US drop 2 nuclear bombs on Japan? Why the US is keeping Israel as their toy? Why the US entered the Vietnam war (hint: no, not to avoid the spread of communism). US is the bad boy of this planet, just because they can.

They read our emails, track our presence in the web, know what we buy online and even listen our conversations so that they can sell us stuff we don’t need. That bothers me more than what this fake company did. And by “they” I mean big corp

It depends. Of course we don’t see the whole picture because it’s just an example by OP, but I also find weird that the de facto solution to abstract classes is: interfaces. Sometimes, duplication is better than interfaces.
