Writing just tests is not ideal, but writing tests in general can be very challenging and interesting given that you need to understand what the code under test does and figure out (edge)cases to exercise/break it.

I once worked at a company that paid bonuses based on a portion of profits, appropriately named "profit sharing". As long as the company turned a profit in a quarter everyone got extra money. Company financials were shared with ev

Isn't it easy enough to protect small businesses by putting a revenue threshold in these changes? While they are at it, how about also regulating "cash at hand" (like make it such that a corp can't hold more cash than a

One would hope they would provide some kind of "community" version which I believe is pretty much a must these days to gain any traction

justinclift is right. The goal is to try to escape from a circle which is still a circle in 3D space. A 2D being may not be aware of the third dimension and might think it's impossible to escape it. Yet it is possible if they find a wa

What is impossible in 2D (e.g. escaping from inside a circle) is possible and trivial in 3D. Is moving faster than speed of light a limitation that can be overcome in a higher dimension? Does it really require a lot of energy or is that onl

Outrage is helpful only if one is willing and able to do something about the problems, either in one's personal life or globally. If not, it doesn't go beyond being harmful to one's own health.

Relative to other languages, the premise might be correct but learning English was still not easy due to all the irregularities and overloaded words one has to memorize.

Google's zero-click answers are really good, especially if I search for a fact. While it's true that this is possibly killing sites by preventing traffic flow, it's one way to battle content padding for the sake of grabbing t

Unfortunately, for a "light-weight" text editor, VS Code is very power hungry, especially if you have more than a few plugins. Yes IDEA is not much better but you get far more for your watts.

There is a lot of subjectivity to what brains see. I don't blame Amazon for changing the logo if lots of people complained, but I'd be concerned that so many people made that connection.

Haha yes exactly! The issue is that the list of people you have worked with and can trust without some vetting process turns out not to be that long. So after a while, you run out of those people and have to resort to some kind of interview

Well some managers do treat estimates as promises so that's a problem. And they do that because customers want to know when X is going to be done/fixed. And pizza analogy is inappropriate. Software development is nothing like maki

I would be curious to see how far you get with this approach. It's very smart to ask to see some paying customers but that means they already have something developed and you won't be the first engineer joining. Hopefully they wou

For example, you could remove that statement from your site and discuss that during the negotiation. At that time, you don't have to explicitly ask "are you white male?" either. You can do a video meeting and you'll know

I don't know for sure but my guess is that Oracle gets sold to managers in large orgs where such decisions are not necessarily made by engineers.

I still can't believe the latency was a non-issue.. but regardless, it's better for Google to pay developers to try to build something and return (some of) their mountains of cash back to the market than hoard it. Would it be good

It's not bizzaro if you think like where the concept originated. It comes from FAANG size companies that do thousands of interviews and need a "standardized" way to evaluate candidates, compare them to each other. Very simila
