   That's a good suggestion. It makes clear what the questioner knows and why they asking about an alternative instead of putting the other person on the defensive, trying to guess why the question is being asked.

   "Aggressive and critical" I couldn't find the right words initially but a better word might be accusatory. To me, it sounds like they should have but didn't. A lot of other posters don't get that flavor from it and

   I guess any style could be interpreted many ways. If something was hard to understand, it sounds sincere but if you actually do understand then it could sound condescending. I guess with all this, context matters.

   Yeah I agree that comes across as fake, especially if done constantly. But its still good to recognize your peers effort even if sometimes it results in the wrong outcome.

   I do. Having worked with so many engineers with almost no social skills, I think there's a lot of room for improvement in their communication style. "Why didn't you do it this way?" is aggressive and critical. "have

   I remember the airport down at the marina in San Francisco when was a kid. Now its a big grassy field.

   DRY to me means having a single authoritative source. So for instance, if I need to define a person data structure then I use protobuf. I can add validation rules, and types to it. I can generate bindings for java, go, ruby, etc and they ca

    great, except 99% of the time I want to handle the error by bubbling it up to a top level routine. From my experience, "handling" the error means wrapping it in another error and returning, which is what you get from other languag

    I don't think I wore a seatbelt until my teenage years. We mainly rode in the back of the stationwagon where there was enough room to play games. I also remember riding in truck beds was a normal thing.

    From the Go standard library "func CompareFunc[S1 ~[]E1, S2 ~[]E2, E1, E2 any](s1 S1, s2 S2, cmp func(E1, E2) int) int { " Looks like Scala

    To me, the problem is that Go returns two values which makes it hard to compose functions.

    Seems like all the languages are following in the path of Scala, Go being the big exception.

    Spring DAL is geared towards operational data stores where typically you are not joining four different tables. Its been a while but pretty sure you can just write the native SQL and map the results to a collection, bypassing mapping to obj

    I just meant that its much nicer to read and write (T) -> R vs Function<T,R> Maybe Kotlin lacks implementing interfaces functionally but in practice, I can't remember it being a pain point. Funtional programming in Java to me,

    Java is still pretty ugly when you have to use the functions api https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/function... . I don't know why they can't make it like kotlin and s

    I pay for healthcare and retirement myself. Retirement is great because you can put a lot more in than you can via 401K or IRA. I don't contract anymore because the compensation is worse than it used to be unfortunately. It used to pa

    Theater and politics is the main reason I liked contracting. There's just no bullshit. Do your work and get paid. Feels great.

    Couple of things I've done. One is build refactoring into the estimate for the improvements, especially since if you did take two months to refactor and then added improvements, you might have to refactor yet again. Another thing I do
