The natural segue for this sort of contrarian “I don’t need your patterns” stuff is logically “I don’t need unit tests either”, soooo pretty sure the answer there is “you don’t need tests”

People aren’t inherently bad, but they’re inherently _different_ - and just like any other animal, people tend to react to _difference_ with mistrust. The thing IMO that social media _amplifies_ is your exposure to people/points of vie

You’d think. I’ve seen everything on Linkedin comments and posts, from harassment to openly racist comments. Occam’s Razor explanation here is it’s a smaller problem because it’s _used less_ for general discussion than the other networks

Or maybe a text message is just a much more practical and less disruptive form of communication with, you know, another human being. You're being quite judgemental on other people and ascribing behavior just because they happen to comm

Are there any fundamental differences between unity and godot? React and jQuery are philosophically complete different - are there any salient aspects of godot that makes it better than unity/potentially more popular?

Liquidity question. If you send a crook a bunch of btc, and they eventually use that btc, isn’t it pretty easy to trace the transactions all the way? How do these people get to liquidate or use these ransom payments without leaving a long p

That's basically what the original poster said - "Many Americans view our federal government poorly, on both sides of the aisle". I can imagine Americans of both sides don't see the parties as representing them. This see

I know this is usually how americans explain democrats vs republicans, but is it really how the parties function? As an outsider (not american) looking in, and judging by the policies of the last couple decades, it seems republicans always

Why would you hate someone for sending you some painting materials? This sounds like a fun idea with a low barrier of entry - if you just don't want to do it, you can always... not attend? Just watch?

This is a gem! They did _exactly_ what one should do to build a new business: find market fit _before_ spending a ton of time on an idea, even if you're "passionate" about it. As engineers, it's very easy to get overly a

this is a great idea, and execution is looking good! I'd not call it half baked at all :-)

How do you make people collaborate, in a scenario like that, where each person has 1-2 projects of their own? How do you prevent these projects from becoming “niches”, and expand in complexity to take the entire time of each said developer?

IMO the problem with this approach is it draws a line between “tech debt” and “progress”. So in the end, the team will overcompensate to do less and less “tech debt sprints” or start expanding it into an occasional “tech debt half”, and so

How is that a Ponzi Scheme? Self-promoting and narrative-building to make it sound easy, but if you’re building something that someone will pay you money for, you’re literally just building a business...?

You probably heard of it, but there’s a company called Blinkist that does the book summarization stuff. They seem to be doing well, so definitely there’s something to build there :) Ps.: mnmn (manamaná) - amazing project name!

Reddit is arguably the original “algorithmic feed” - votes + the decaying algorithm make it way more “addictive” than if it was just a chronological series of posts, ordered by number of votes. The popular/news sections of Reddit are a

Isn't that pretty much what all platforms these platforms do these days, with algorithmic feeds? What level of control do you plan to add on top of it? And more importantly - how do you plan to monetize a model that's pretty much

The open office “fad” is pretty much the only office arrangement for more than a decade now, so what you’re saying is this will be the de facto going forward?
