Is that so new? We used to complain when someone blindly copied and pasted from stack overflow. Before that, from experts-exchange. Coding is still a skill acquisition that takes years. We need to stamp out the behavior of not understanding

The same advantages of java in a lisp-like shell. NuBank, OneStudyTeam, CircleCI, and Guaranteed Rate are some of the larger companies I know about personally that have significant investments in Clojure.

I do think it'd be amazing to see a "decathlon-like" competition where runners were measured in the 100, 1500, and 10k cross country, though. Figuring out how to even it out would be a chore, though.

Then you've won the lottery, for now. Congratulations! It will be more difficult for you to find your next job because your position slowly morphs around you rather than what the industry is looking for. You should have a much higher e

I too had roommates coming up. People today have roommates coming up. That doesn't change the fact that even with roommates, the burden is disproportionately higher than it was for the last generation, particularly with housing. Median

So, there's a few things here: First, part of the benefit of peer review is that two people have seen the code and have familiarity. Even if it's rubber stamping, if someone has actually looked at it, LGTM might be enough. Second,

I did it three times, in 2007, 2010, and 2012. Each of these were 8-10 months. The key is that you can't spend your time on the couch. You need to have a story. Live in a foreign country. Write a book, even if it doesn't get publi

I'm pretty sure we could skip some of the worst ones, such as the interrelations of type coercion and equality. Variable hoisting isn't as big a deal with let, but we could remove that entirely. We could align null and undefined.

The aiming problem is solved within 1-2 times of using it. You get used to where to put your butt, even if you can't move the nozzle. Aerosolizing isn't a big deal because your butt is on the seat. It's nothing like the flush
