Linux, docker, emacs, GCC, golang, PostgreSQL. They are the best in class tools, making me much more productive and interested in software than any paid product ever could. They are free, as in beer.

Not that I even care that much, but that's total crap. Compile-time generics, which is what most people seem to be referring to when they say they want generics in Go, are eminently doable. It would not be hard to implement. Runtime ge

0. It does dynamic linking on most stdlibs (libc, etc) 1. What do you mean self-hosted runtime? Anyways, golang will likely never be a good candidate for kernel development, but in theory you could do it (go supports assembly) 2. Generics w

Sure, why not. The word "leadership" doesn't really mean anything anymore. I have met very few good leaders in my day. It definitely seems like most people leading companies are not any good at it. The best managers I've

The vast majority of mainstream AES implementations don't take advantage of the hardware (yet).

A corollary to all of this is how self inflicted it all is. I left my last job, because I was bored, we were on autopilot as a company, and I had completely mastered our architecture and system. Any assignment I received was trivial to comp

And if it's the company they actually don't know the market any better than you.

The "never give it out" camp always, to me, seems to be making the assumption that salary negotiation is exactly like a game of poker. No one could ever guess what's in your hand and you can't guess what's in theirs

Because choosing Java will almost never be a mistake, even if it isn't the most ideal language. The JVM(s) are fast(ish). So much open source code to grab and get productive on. Almost any developer you hire can be effective with it im

I worked as a programmer, briefly, after college, it sucked, expectations were ridiculous, pay was crap. I would never work as a programmer again. I really enjoy my career as a Software Engineer though. It's been, mostly, fun, and as I

If they run out of cash they will start to devalue their currency, that's the bet.

Seriously, I'm grabbing as much VFINX as I can. It's priced at February 2014 levels right now. That's a silly price for two pretty good years of global economic growth.

I invested a little in Dry Bulk right after the recession. The reason it's out for the count is a lot of players entered the market on expensive debt at the height of the Recession, taking the long bet that shipping would recover, whic

I agree with you, but my quibble with your analogy that there are problem sets that will probably never need a 10x engineer, like disrupting Wordpress. Looking to create a completely packaged toolset, from a custom linux distro, that orches

Get lots of sleep, and exercise regularly. Even if you're in a job you don't like, you'll still feel okay about life (serious depression issues aside). Everything seems 10x worse when you're not sleeping well. How do you

It will limit a lot of initial investing and some unicorns that need money won't get it. But, tech will, otherwise, be unhurt.
