The EU will go after this next. Technically it is a deceptive thing to do.

Nope, it's an indication.

Even though it's only user facing you have to remember it's facing Japanese users. They are an extremely fussy demographic to deal with. I worked on enterprise billing systems in Japan before. I can imagine how not fun it is to be

Venezuela does not function as a democracy. It hasn't for a while now.

If you like that video Why Nations Fail is basically 100x deeper explanation through examples of the last 12,000 years of history.

Well... people are stupid. Rather we are overly simplistic creatures that are set up to fail. My observations are: A) nobody is able to discern whether or not something is true without an astronomical amount of effort and resources therefor

poor in the sense they don't work well for Venezuelans. They work well for Maduro. Sure, that's a fairly lopsided system, but that's what he has built. A country where he is the king and they are his subjects.

It's not ineptness. It never was, never is and never has been. It's deliberate. This is a textbook example of how power has been weilded throughout history. Your angry because you assume the goal should be to make everyones lives

If you're spending 100% of your time building you're doing it wrong anyway. I feel like this is just missing so much conte xt. If you are working full time and can hack in your after hours to learn a new tech stack first and then

The intention at the outset. There's a low chance of success whether you are trying to make money or not. If you make money accidentally in a new tech stack... who cares because you can afford to support it. Also build using what you k

currently using bullettrain.co fairly happily. It's geared towards B2B SaaS.

I suspect thats actually possible if you use Turbolinks and made an app using their Android and iOS wrappers.

Please don't try to sell the world on working this way. It's just terrible and lazy. You can learn enough git to use it productively in 5 commands. It's not even difficult.

I think job postings hide those requirements by not advertising them on purpose. They just kind of spring them on you in the first day and if you don't know it you will pick it up. Which is mildly ironic because they advertise all the

Just Read Why Nations Fail. This is part the course for almost all of history.

I remember thinking this until McDonald's turned me down for a job. True story.

You nailed it. It stops being 'wanting to' and starts being 'having to' and that is a subtle inflection point in an engineers life.

I think if you're a profitable company some percentage of engineering effort should be carved out for continuous refactoring. I'm sure there is a good balance in there somewhere.

Trying to bootstrap my own startup and doing all the engineering on my own money my engineering philosophy has changed dramatically. Where I used to be guy A, I'm now very much guy B.

I'm switching to Rails after doing years of Spring Boot apps. The bloat of Java is 3x to 5x.

Nevermind the additional complexity of integrating with payment gateways and handling complex authorization requirements and team invitations etc. Even a 'simple' web app is a convoluted mess of shit if you are to run a real world
