It's 2022. If people using the internet don't know about "downloading malware can be considered harmful", then something is wrong with these people. I mean, it's like "using a knife can cause harm": that&#

I know many developers (over 35 years old) in Europe doing the same (they earn above the average european salary, so like 140K EUR/year or so): Java, no HN, no Linkedin, no FAANG, no leetcode, no switching jobs every 2 years. They have

What seems arrogant to me is to think that we, as human beings, can know everything given time and space.

by danwee 4y ago
Please, how can any human being be so absolute about anything? Modern humans emerged ~300K years ago (or at least that's what we know so far), so how on earth can we be sure about anything? Our science is nice and all, and can help us

Our human brains cannot grasp the idea of "it simply always existed". Imagine a non-human being (e.g., "god", "beings from another dimension", "beings from an advanced civilization", etc.) telling us

Indeed. We'll never know the beginning of everything; science cannot accomplish that, religion cannot provide satisfactory answers, and philosophy will always leave you half empty half full. That being said, discovering things is fun,

It's quite difficult as a European SW developer living in Europe to work for US companies. It's either one of these options: 1. US company has an office in EU, so you can work as an employee. Chances are the company is not paying

You are right, but in practice that's not what happens. Companies do not rely on open source libraries, the developers working for such companies do. I can give you a realistic example. If you want to use Kafka and Go, your probably on

I know plenty of Go libraries that do feel terse when using them (e.g., the stdlib to begin with). I know plenty of Go libraries that feel overcomplicated (but I think it's not a fault of the Go language, but of the library designers).

Sure, but why not adding the "easy way of doing things" as well in the Go SDK? It certainly would help a lot when writing prototypes and trying things out. Later on, sure you can rely on the most robust approach (which yes, I agre

Wow. That's quite something. I like Go, but more often than not I keep stumbling upong these kind of situations (N LOC to do something in Y, 10xN to do it in Go).

I've seen offers for hybrid approach in Germany, The Netherlands, France,... I don't apply to such offers, but their amount is not negligible.
