I will tell you when I can get back in. I quit my job in January before the economy crashed. Took a month sabbatical which is looking like it will an indefinite sabbatical. 9 years professional experience, four year Computer Science degree,

I totally feel the "I hate that my only talent is computer programming." I am in the exact same boat. I really don't even like the career anymore, other than the money, which I would trade in a heart-beat for a stable job tha

Good god, the scroll hijacking on that site is dreadful. Makes it impossible to scroll comfortably on mobile. That being said I’ve always admired the Remarkable tablets.

Not going to happen. The military industrial complex has a stranglehold on our country. There is nobody with enough power to challenge them. We tried to elect an anti-war candidate, but he was ignored and relentlessly attacked by mainstream

Agreed. I've been saying for years that if you go with Docker-Compose, or Amazon ECS, or something lower level, you are just going to end up rebuilding a shittier version of Kubernetes. I think the real alternative is Heroku or running

This is all covered in the book I recommended! :) For the button: I would say abstracting it out into a function or using dependency injection, and having a centralized switch statement is the way to go. I don't see why you would need

I have had the same thought. It is laborious to use and people struggle with it. 99% of the behavior it implements people do not use. Git is not the correct level of abstraction.

In my opinion the problem with GitFlow and a lot of other git workflows is you end up holding a bunch of state inside of your git branches which is hard to decipher, complicated to manage, creates work for people ( with merge conflicts, and

I feel that Penny Arcade nailed it when they described the game as: "Using clumsy tools for days and days to make a worse version of something that already exists inside of someone else's product"

You can't. But people like to pretend we are all just taking a piss with our text-based languages and full-time jobs.

Businesses have this weird desire to make money. Stupid I know.

My family owned and ran a number of funeral homes for ALMOST 100 years. We sold JUST BEFORE the 100 year mark. We are glad we got out when we did, which was 10 years too late in my opinion. The bottom dropped out of the industry, people don

I was in the shower this morning thinking about how I would solve this, and something like this is exactly what I would have done. Use simple, familiar, battle tested technology to do the heavy lifting.

"The leadership team is clearly professional and tech-savvy.." And yet they failed miserably. I'm so sick of this attitude. Leadership never takes the fall, it is always the underlings who get the blame. Their important high

I saw the same thing and I had the same thought: Wow that is low. My suspicion: The company is all designers and product managers, and they shipped it overseas to the lowest bidder. That is unconfirmed, though.

Oh believe me, I have plenty of venom for the DNC. As far as I am concerned they stole the nomination. The DNC was biased against Bernie Sanders and they ratf *ed him every chance they had. Bernie had staff at most of the caucus locations

I am a big Bernie Sanders supporter and am always eager to put on my tinfoil hat. But I have to agree with you. The owner of Shadow's parent company has close ties to the Hillary campaign, a lot of the Shadow employees worked for the O

I can't speak for this site, but for the internet overall: There will always be teenagers and trolls. Teenagers will always find it amusing to say naughty things and being transgressive. Trolls never bother finding something more inter

I'm willing to bet these people were following automated directions. My family and I were once driving from Chicago to my home town 6 hours to the southwest. A blizzard kicked up, and we were driving according to Google directions. It

I did the exact same thing. I was so pissed off about having to see ads on a website I was paying for. They do the same thing to the US: They force you to call them. I tried to cancel my credit card to get rid of the charge: soon after, the

I love Neil Gaiman's "Entitlement Issues". To sum it up: "George R.R. Martin is not your bitch." I would carry this even further: "Open source maintainers are not your bitch." I see a lot of whining and en

My mother had a saying: Choose your battles. I feel like the value of calling things "not my problem" in software is undervalued. You cannot fix every problem, you cannot train every engineer, and you cannot control everything. Le

My team at work is extremely guilty of this, and half the time they aren't even correct. I have coined the term "voodoo optimization" in response to a point Martin Fowler made in his book "Refactoring 2nd Edition":
