Jaxn, just curious what books would you recommend to read to get into accounting? Because of hacknews i've been introduced into double entry book keeping using ledger (that I found really really useful). Kind of want to expand on the k

I'm on the fence about Object Thinking. Most of OOP books I've read are very anecdotal without any empirical evidence to back up their claims. I've read a couple of research papers that used used (empirical evidence) to see i

Profit is derived from subtracting expenses from your revenue. Wage for businesses is a expense, and so is accusation cost of assets. I would assume Net Profit is taking into account all liabilities/assets/expenses/revenue fo

ammmm, if your friendship requires constant hand holding then I would say it would better to lose them faster (early on) because they're not going to be around when you hit the hard times. My definition of a friend is someone you can r

Just for clarification. I'm not dishing OOP per say. My main concern is OOP emphasis (Java) is everything needs to be a class. There are times when there isn't a need for a noun for a bunch of functions that operate over a colle

Questions like “Which paradigm is better for modeling the real world” are virtually meaningless. The choice depends upon how the world is conceptualized, and what additional properties are expected of the model.

To do OOP good requires a lot of forward thinking and careful planning. Though most of the two are lacking supply when you're dealing with large teams of programmers and you end up with some IFactoryAbstractInterfaceInvoker eg... the k

Tend not to write unit tests as most evidence show they have little or no impact ( http://neverworkintheory.org/2016/10/05/test-driven-developm... )

Give it time. You can get a lot done with node, graphql and plain SQL. Although when you're working on a project with 50+ developers that is where the Spring JPA, Spring Boost, Tomcat, Maven come in their own managing less skilled deve

Why not Java? I tend to find that anything larger than parsing and data collection Python/Nodejs becomes a bit of a maintainable mess for me. Java/C# are boring, but once that little script grows into a massive beast you will be

Defense Contracts (back then). Ironically the Employer at the time didn't really pay that well and I moved over to doing web-dev work that was resulted in my wages doubling over night.

I have to agree I've had exactly the same situation. Wish I could say otherwise. The only thing today that directed me to specific products and services are sites like hackernews, youtube channels like Eli the Computer Guy, and Louis R

I have nothing wrong with ads, though my viewpoint of ads is they need to target `me` instead of `them`. Eg... 6700K Is now for sale for $200AUD or 1080p is for sale for bargain prices! Though most of the ad's I see have a handsome mar

Shitty minimum wage job gives you a incentive to improve yourself so you don't have a shitty minimum wage job. Economical disadvantage area gives you a reason to leave said economical disadvantage area.

I don't know how they could be `forcing` people to do it. Last time I checked you have your own agency and can decide to stay or leave on moral grounds. I would imagine that interviewee's will be acceptance of your role change if
