Not doing TDD isn't not testing. TDD is writing failing tests first and then writing the code to make the tests green (red, green, refactor).

Your wage on the labor market is not your value as a human. Maybe it's time you leave your nice part of America and live among people who won't make you feel like you're part of a rat race but value you for who you are.

I understand that. My point is that Universities have a brand for taking top tier raw undergrad students and moulding them into elite graduates who lead the world. In reality, many of those top tier students would succeed no matter what (ra

lol, why would they do that? Then they will be found out since the differentiator between the top pool of 'good enough' undergraduate programs is merely being able to play king maker to students who were going to go far in life an

Sure, some publications might like that. And some publications still treat data as a plural of datum rather than a mass noun like water. But I don't think I know a native speaker who would look at "naive" and feel the way the

It is acceptable to write English without diacritics. "Naive" is accepted.

adtech is a big area. It's not clear who you're talking about. People who sell ads? People who buy ads? People who make the networks? AIUI, web sites that host ads probably want the ads to be shown so they can get their money. And

Just don't go public and people can't take over the company as easily. They would have to go to each investor and buy them out.

In a SaaS world the value stream is broken up and delivered as appropriate. What does it mean for a project to be late if there is a value stream constantly being delivered? Onboarding is a real thing but Brook's calculations are absur

Brook's law is also outdated. It's mostly only relevant for when you deliver your software with a forklift. Even Steve McConnell of Code Complete and Rapid Development has argued against it: https://stevemcconnell.com&

>Haskell (leading FP language) Scala is the leading FP language (thanks to Spark, Kafka, Akka, and other massive projects). And TIOBE puts Scheme and Lisp ahead of Haskell. And Emacs Lisp probably has more installs than GHC.

I don't understand your argument. Do you think people who follow unethical behaviour are quickly fired? That is not usually the case if the unethical behaviour was profitable. Do you think that the legal system is quick to move so peop

This is not realistic. Any H1NB visa holder who doesn't do what they are told will be fired and must move their family back to their country of origin. SWE would need to first unionize to protect workers from being fired/deported
