So many more failures should be published and documented like this, it's immensely valuable. Thanks to the author for writing this article.

Yeah that's not really up to you, whether or not knights exist. If a government has something called a "knighthood", then they exist, full stop.

by diminoten 7y ago
What do you mean knights don't exist anymore? The UK definitely still has a knighthood...

by diminoten 7y ago
Yeah, because that's what they needed to get a job. You didn't.

Are you working as a software developer at your current job? If not, do you want to work as a software developer? Degrees are for people who can't do what they want to do with their current education/training. If you're not

TSA theatre isn't complete and total nonsense. The illusion of safety has all kinds of secondary benefits, both offensively and defensively.

If you browse Reddit or HN for any nontrivial amount of time you'll hit someone's personal blog/project/app/whatever.

Have you tried writing a web app in Java/Go/Rust vs. Python in the past year?

by diminoten 7y ago
It's admittedly bad, any Python dev who says otherwise isn't being honest. That said, once you get it down, you're not burdened by it much/at all. You can start and begin work on a new project in seconds, which feels im

I use pipenv currently with Docker and have had no issues. That said, all I want is for a unified standard to emerge, this is getting a little ridiculous...

> Governance: the lead of Pipenv was someone with a history of not treating his collaborators well. That gave me some serious concerns about the future of the project, and of my ability to get bugs fixed. Doesn't seem fair. You&#x2

I love when people claim to not care about arguments from authority. "Sorry doc, I don't care about your medical degree or years of experience!" Yes you do.

This. This so fucking hard. The whole point of writing clean code is so I can spin back up on it in 15 minutes instead of the 30 mentioned in the article (or often very much longer). Literally everything I do at my job is in service of

What software engineers need to learn is that their skills aren't magic, and they don't need to be coddled to be entirely productive. So many engineers have learned this, that if you can't, you aren't competitive in the

I have elsewhere. If you want to discuss this further, email me. HN isn't good for any kind of protracted conversation such as what you're trying to have now.

The better you get at writing code, the more the code documents itself, and the less comment writing you will need to do. Think of writing a comment as a failure of your ability to write good code - we all fail from time to time but we asip

Good edge case to consider when designing an auto scaling service, but now that I'm aware of it, I think I'll be able to design around the problem with some combo of the suggested solutions, and still get the autoscaling that I fe

Oh come on, don't get caught up in the word games, it's unproductive. You know the author meant something more specific than "X is broken" because he wrote an entire article explaining what he means when he says "b

Right, but in so doing you're presenting an inconsistent and selectively favorable-for-you viewpoint, which in reality is nothing more than a smokescreen for your greed.

They aren't the global Boeing police, and doing an investigation doesn't mean you're in charge or capable of regulating the entire planet. But you know all this, and are just being a troll, so I'm done.

I'd urge you to think about why JS keeps getting more "complex" (your phrase). There is a reason, but no one can tell it to you; you have to discover it for yourself, or it'll always feel like you're blindly foll

That's just an argument against intellectual property, which I've already said is a non-starter. If you don't believe in intellectual property at all, then of course it's fine to pirate, but if you believe in intellectu

Nope, as the FAA has no jurisdiction over those flights. The FAA isn't the global airline police.

Please don't tell me how to behave going forward, and if this is your way of admitting you did something wrong, you've really got to work on that.

The key word is eventually, which makes what you're saying irrelevant to the conversation we're having here. No one is talking about downloading media outside of copyright and you know that, but insist on derailing the conversatio

You were being uncharitable, why are you surprised it was interpreted that way?

Less featureful, inefficient, unintuitive, difficult to maintain or even build, impenetrable to laypersons, garbage.
