This is very relevant in software these days > Super Narrow Selection Criteria e.g. "We need nodejs, mongo, grpc, golang, etc - decades of experience in software is not what we need. We need exactly those things - and we are going t

I think many successful coders do not code at home. I do, and when I was a younger developer it wasn't a good thing. There needs to be a clean separation between work and home. Now that I am older I am better at keeping a separation b

Does the code work? When it stops working then worry about it. Why are you pulling your hair out over duplicate code. Do you know how much duplicate code there is in the Linux Kernel? Gee man, my nerves a shock!

Why do people support Assange. I mean the guy is clearly and ego-maniac masquerading as a social activist. His conduct in the embassy and toward his host country was abysmal by all accounts. Manning served her time honorably (I would say sh
