I’m curious as to which government you think isn’t going to use surveillance tools on you, even if they aren’t exactly legal. I mean, after Echelon we still had the tinfoil disbelief to fall back on, but in a post-Snowden world it’s hard to

Isn’t Turkey the main provider or drones to Ukraine? One thing is building drones, another is building ones that actually work in real world warfare. America obviously has the ability to make children afraid of blue skies, and have had so f

The point I was trying to make was that C# has nothing but bad libraries in it's ecosystem. I've worked with quite a lot of languages and I've never experienced anything like it. Well, obviously Node has an "interesting&

I've seen this response before, but why on earth would we be using C# if not for its included batteries? I can't imagine a world where we would have chosen C# to write an API unless there were some specific benefits, and while I m

It’s because C# is only really nice on the surface. As soon as you actually do something with it that takes it beyond its cozy CRUD, it becomes such a nuisance to work with. We have an ODATA client that we build our selves to use in our Rea

If I look at the job market in my area it’s dominated by Java. There are a lot of .Net jobs as well but they are typically at companies you really don’t want to work for, so it’s basically so much easier for you to find a nice job if you’re

I actually sort of agree that linear code is more readable, but that’s not what makes good code practices alone. So while good linear code is more readable, at least in my opinion, it’s also a lot less maintainable and testable. I have a fe

I think you should frame your questions a little less loaded in the future, but I do think you're also making a good point. Ethical sponsorship management isn't easy, and certainly not a set of trade skills I would expect to find

My MacBook Pro 2015 still trundles along just fine, and while that isn’t exactly 10 years it’s getting there. I did replace it with an M1 air for my personal use but my wife is still quite happy with it. The only thing that has needed repla

Then I guess we agree! My mantra is to just never click on any links. Even when I know they aren’t phishing I don’t click on them. Of course that’s probably easier for a programmer than most other employees. I’m notoriously hard to reach un

I'm still not sure why Facebook doesn't have the "show all comments in chronological order" option as the default for comments on things. Recently there was the worldcup in Blood Bowl, and it was such a nightmare to foll

I’ve done 6 different versions of “security training” as well as “GDPR training” over the past few years. I think they are mostly tools to drain company money and wasting time. About the only thing I remember from any of it is when I got so

I’m not GP but I would personally love for the smart watch to replace the smartphone so that I don’t have to carry one around. I know that’s sort of possible in some places, but it isn’t where I live as many of the Apps necessary to interac

We have some laws that enforce that at least part of a rental complex is meant to be for the general public, but you can legally set the rent higher than the welfare payment people receive when they are out of jobs. The laws are from the 70

I wonder how the American student debt explains how the same thing is happening to housing in Denmark. Now, I’m not arguing against the article, having high student debt is certainly going to impact your ability to own a home, but it’s cert

I think you may be misunderstanding what GP means. It's about spending a day working on issues. You're either doing it before you launch your iteration, or you're doing it after. GP thinks it's better to spend the time b

Java isn’t really something we want to work with. So I guess that’s the quick answer. There is nothing wrong with Java, I think projects like quarkus is pretty cool and the JVM is a battle tested machine. Our issue is more process related.

It’s mainly for data transformation and transport. Solar inverters don’t deliver data in the same formats, there are no protocols and apparently most engineers in the solar panel business still think FTP (not SFTP) is fine but some will del

I guess it depends on what you like. I’m fortunate in the way that I like doing most programming. I love building things, even if they aren’t exciting or if they are using “un-cool” technologies. Heck, I even enjoy maintenance work as long

I’m not sure exactly what the PMs role would be in regards to software quality, but from the sounds of it, the engineering team was poorly lead or had unhealthy practices (which likely means it was poorly lead). Which isn’t too uncommon in

I’m curious about what is stopping you. I know I’m very privileged to be in a position where there is a lot of doors open, but at least in my part of the world, this seems to be pretty much the common thing for programmers. I personally thi

I think it’s mainly because of the myriad of rules and laws surrounding budgeting. Like, we’re using BC365 right, but we’re also paying a 3rd party consultant to build some custom APIs into BC365 for us because the laws needed to “manage” D

The systems aren’t build to handle the real world. The issue isn’t really technical though, at least not in my opinion. We manage a lot of companies in a lot of different countries and the best fit for us was Microsoft’s BC365, which is fra

Unless you’re ridiculously well paid I think you’re considerably underestimating what many independent contractors end up earning. I can only speak about my anecdotal network but everyone that I know who went the independent contractor road
