You’re write. I’m a tech lead in an ‘enterprise’ team, and the fight against spaghetti is so real. I feel a lot of enterprise devs are older, and more set in their ways. It’a not just teaching them new technology any more - I have to fundam

It’s also worth noting that projects are rarely contained within the bounds of a programming language. If you’re building a web app, what’re language you use will still come down to HTML/css. You’ll also probably be using SQL, which is

I get this in principal, but when I go to GitHub without being logged in it just feels... well, like Microsoft.

The problem sets in CS50, at least the first half, are great and I would highly recommend. I ditched it when it moved to python and web, the problems were interesting but there was an added level of boredom in the 'now make it a websit

Friend of mine is a senior exec for the Fujitsu Europe. I met him doing the Haute Route, a two-week ski tour in the Alps. He says the amount of persuading he had to do to the global execs that being off-grid for two weeks might have it&#x27

Yep, that's a way away from ideal. You're unlucky, there are a lot of software teams out there where the developers are pretty much autonomous. That's not to say they do absolutely whatever they want, but micromanagement is u

I understand that there are virtually no tests that _actually_ need a TI calculator. They're mad useful for learning - you can explore maths very effectively, but there's a learning curve to it. I started using GraphNCalc83 on my

My laptop runs two SSD’s: 256GB with Manjaro Linux, and 512GB with Windows. My profession dictates I use .Net and SQL Server, so I anticipated using the windows drive most. I ran i3 on the Linux side, and used it mainly for hackier projects
