Look worse than who? A random no name person on the internet? Cry me a river. Just so you know I manage 6 people right now and we are doing quite well. The sort of yours would not be welcome for sure. People who cannot think out of the box

Well I can't even imagine a more arrogant thing than criticizing someone's work without the right to do so. Just because people have a keyboard it doesn't mean that they have all the fundamental skills and experience to give

I completely agree. Many times when someone asks me to change something without pointing to a previously agreed-on coding standard that all team members approved before, I just call it bullshit and let the PR sit there indefinitely while I

The can wasn't full luckily. It might have been 150 ml or so. It mostly flowed under the keys from the grill right under the screen next to the hinge on the right side. Of course the machine shut off immediately and first I thought I b

I have a Macbook Air (2017 version) which I spilled a can of beer into. I thought it was dead but after leaving it to rest for a few days it resurrected from the dead and it works ever since like nothing happened. I love that machine. Indes

It's hard to take this blog post seriously when there is not one but THREE open Github issues which poses a serious question about the credibility of this whole pagespeed circus. It's just fundamentally wrong to claim that pagesp

True. But some people will do everything (including ruining team morale) to play with their new shiny toy and it's usually easier to ruin that than taking steps for prevention. But you are generally right.

The problem is that those people who chose shiny new technology only see the benefit, while all the others in the company will rot in hell because of the stupid choice of a junior engineer (who jumped ships 3 times meanwhile). I don't

So the author basically proposes everyone to go behind others' back to stick it to each other and promotes to rat on each other. And he even feels good about it. Wow.

The thing is that most people don't understand that the code needs to be tested anyway. If you don't test it, you are just an idiot who has no proof that the code does what it claims to do. Now because you have to test it anyway,

Something that I can't seem to find highlighted ever in any discussion about communication tools (but I acknowledge it was kind of hinted at by the federated nature of email in this post) is that by using email you have ultimate and co

I never understood people who get annoyed by @here. If you are somewhere where you don't want to be, and people send a message to you that you don't care about, you shouldn't be there in the first place. We have many channels

But then what's the point of using Slack? Your scenario describes you could just use email without downsides.

Right? It's the same age old question as "Whose code is the worst?" Not surprisingly it's always someone else's code.

I agree with you, and I was coming here to find similar thinking folks in the comment section and the most worrying thing is that I haven't found any except you. Most people seem to take it as a normal thing that software simply ruins

I don't really see how the service mesh solves eventual consistency. You might call a service which handles all the tasks asynchronously similarly to a message in a message broker system. Service discovery is also inherent in the routi

While I agree that it would be great to have such service it's just technically impossible. Google is very cautious to protect their service from automated requests (on behalf of humans or in batch or in any other form), and you will n

Why would it be anti Google? I guess you didn't read any of the blog entries about arduino, gimp or animations.

Let me tell one thing: I absolutely hate sloppy engineering. And by sloppy I also mean rushing. There is a class of engineers and engineering managers who think that they are rockstars because they can churn out code quickly. I am absolutel
