   I like your approach and in general I do the same. But some interrupters just never learn. So in some cases when the interrupter keeps interrupting I simply ask him/her: "Can I finish my sentence?" In this case whatever the i

   I don't really understand your comment. Shows your ignorance to be honest: have you ever heard of active records? Or optimistic locking? Because these are VERY tangible software constructs and Martin Fowler for example wrote a whole bo

   Yes. I would have to take an online course on my expense and/or read some books outside of office hours until I can use the language. Until that time I would have to work on something else which doesn't cost money for the company

   Thanks for the info. Interesting. But I assume this (i.e. the plan) is something that the employee can choose not to sign if it was not in the original contract and the law doesn't require him to do so. At least I wouldn't sign an

   I don't know what is a performance plan. Can you elaborate? I have never worked in a company where there was such a plan. Is this public to employees or you just simply whip everyone until they work themselves to death without telling

   Where did you work if I may ask? In the companies where I worked there was never such a thing. I worked in 2 companies in Hungary, 2 companies in Germany, 3 companies in Japan and one in the US. It was always basically assumed that you will

   I am confused. Why do you think software engineers stop working as much as MBAs when they land a job? That's when they have to start studying even more beside working. 54 sounds about average for an engineer anyway. In Germany for exam

   There is something I cannot understand and this has already become a cliche: > Technology industry is an extremely fast-moving one. Many technologies used today didn't even exist/were popular a decade ago; in 2009, mobile app d

    I didn't want to call it bullshit but you are not the first who wants to walk me down the bullshit lane. Here is the thing: this discussion is not about scores or about candidate performance. It's about the question whether the sa

    That's an interesting theory. But this problem is actually not confined to the industry, it impacts academia too. Even just as a purely theoretical statistical problem since there is enough data and easy access to that data we should a

    Yes, and I am saying that we can't prove it works. So we cannot know that it works.

    Because if you can't prove it works, you cannot know it works. You can only assume then.

    I guess the reason is that if it would work we would already know about it and there would be a bullet-proof way to prove it

    And I was not even the one who said that it's distorted in the first place. It was the parent comment. Shall I explain that also to you?

    So there is a illegible distorted text which seeks attention to occupy your view and you don't know what I am talking about? Have you heard of navigation? Also the definition of distorted: "giving a misleading or false account or

    If you have to spend a minute or more to read something which might or might not be useful, that's an annoyance, I would even say disturbance. Takes precious time to find the right information in a place where minutes or even seconds m

    I agree. This is a terrible font face. I see the artistic value of it, but using it as any kind of guidance is a failure. Especially in stations like Shimokitazawa where the platforms are extremely narrow in some cases. This would just be a

    Yes. The standard is so high that they can't even find words for it. So they just call it simply shitty.

    Pragmatism based on shittyism? Or how shall we imagine this? Is there a motto for this? "We excel in shitty code or something?"

    That's right! Vespa looks cool. I really appreciate that they even implemented a use case as a proof of concept.

    So tell us, how is a shitty solution better than a well designed testable solution? Literally every book on project management is about the development cost vs maintenance cost and how the latter beats the former. But yeah, keep dreaming.

    I don't exactly understand what you are saying but the report you linked shows that the non-reusable plastic bags reach the same negative impact on climate change 150 times faster than reusable cotton bags. How is that good? When you t

    I agree. Not to mention that functional programming has been around for decades. The reason why it's not popular is simple: because most people hate it and it's even more complex than OOP. One doesn't need to look for conspir

    If it's an introduction to software engineering then I think leaving out software craftsmanship or functional programming, etc is not necessarily a sin. And git (the cli not the versioning approach per se) never made sense to begin wit

    Well you got it right. I was surrounded by control freaks. Today I am the happiest man on earth because I don't have to put up with the idiocy of code reviews anymore.
