I'm saying: It's the goal of some engineers to write clean code for the benefit of the business. It's the goal of some engineers to slap together something new and shiny, present it to management and get it approved for the b

It's a long game for the business. It can be a long or short game for the programmer.

I've always found it hilarious that what we see today from the Agile industry can in no way have come from such vague statements. 99% of Agile is shit people who weren't part of the original group made up so they could sell and th

Yup. I've come to realize a few key things: 1) Humans have an extremely limited capacity to determine what's true. 2) Our modus operandi is not to determine what is true but with which side are we politically affiliated 3) The tr

And Americas full of drug addicts, school shootings and cops killing black teenagers. And that's despite all those Christians, their morals and their prayers. And as it turns out women and black people were distinctly lower class than

Mildly hilarious how Japan is a ridiculously safe place crime-wise and has pretty high moral standards and is pretty much entirely atheist. They visit temples because they visit temples and it's just expected that that's what you

Sadly I think we hit peak getting along about 2 years back. As in the microcosm, so in the macrocosm. If you think about even the difficulty of maintaining stable relationships with the handful of people you know it's actually really d

Hmm I disagree with your conclusions. What you seem to be describing is geopolitics. Honestly, not much has ever really changed. I mean if I were to give a metaphor for how I see geopolitics has changed in the last 150 years I would say: Im

So you have to be an honest fake reviewer. The irony.

So if you want free stuff just leave bad reviews. The world is so broken. My sister's used to do the same thing to the Coca Cola company when we were young. They would call the hotline and complain they had some come that tasted like d

Are you being serious? I almost agree with your sentiment however the prerequisite is that the group size is around 20 people. Earth has grown beyond where that is feasible and TCP/IP ain't gonna change shit. If you think about ev

It's just following the laws of Resume Driven Development. 1) If it's not on your resume it needs to be. 2) If it's already on everyone's resume you must seek alternatives 3) Resumes are never finished, only abandoned I&

Best comment ever. Especially as I'm sitting here learning ASP.NET Core Identity on Pluralsight for hours and thinking about all the "identity architecture coordination meetings" I'm anticipating having on this next proj

Which leads to Resume Driven Development driving choices rather than logical debates where merits and trade-offs are considered.

You have a problem. You decide to use regular expressions to solve it. Now you have two problems. You have a problem. You decide to use microservices to solve it. Now you have ten problems.

I remember my first job was working on a massive enterprise system in a complex business domain on a codebase that had survived multiple iterations over the last 30 years. It took a full 9 months before I finally thought 'I can do this

What led you to this conclusion? I've come to the same one. I think it explains a great deal of what we see. Even in the hiring process and such. It's actually very primitive at its core. Who's part of who's tribe and wh

For me it's about creating a personal connection and telling a good story. I dunno I just have a belief in my ability to do that from past experience. This is new territory for me though, so we'll see. I'm not in the US on, s

I'm pretty much coming to the end of mine now. Except I feel burnt out from the sabbatical whereas I generally always felt pretty good at work. I read a shit tonne this last 8 months and have noticed a big upgrade in my worldview. I sh
