I don’t know how it relates to construction but if you were describing a software development studio I would say it sounds like your father in law hired too many junior and/or incompetent and/or unmotivated employees and then micr

That doesn’t contradict anything I wrote - it means they overlapped for 6 years but the Democratic Party was not a segregationist party between 1972 and 1978 despite the existence of a few rare remnants at the end of their career.

Your quote doesn’t necessarily mean the Democratic Party was segregationist when Biden started his career, only that he had some overlap with at least one segregationist - Eastland may have been the rare exception to the rule by the end of

I think there’s also wildly overestimating the value of elite schools for undergrad - in undergrad you’re so far from the “state of the art” that you’d probably get about the same level of education at those schools than you would at any go

I don't regret my path at all! I learned a lot at these early jobs, and honestly at 18 I wouldn't have gotten anything better (and for good reason). I started uni at 19 (math & computer science at a local state university, I d

I think at the beginning of my career (I'm 40 and got my first job as a dev at 18) I really was, I just wanted to program and didn't really care what. That led me to enterprise dev as that was the most available work. After a whil

To be undiplomatic, most jobs suck - most work for devs is “enterprise” or web development, usually for companies that are either not tech companies or that the tech is not that interesting. Even in the prestige companies like Amazon or Mic

If you agree to add a few months of development time and reduce future velocity to make sure these limits are enforced, sure. Usually adding storage costs about as much as 1 developer’s salary cost for what, an hour? A day?

You mean less than that? But more importantly, after that peak comes a long and steady decline (as far as we can tell).

I would start being less diplomatic once I get the hunch polite phrasing isn’t getting through - “this code is badly structured, brittle and will make debugging harder”. As programmers being tactless is expected so might as well use it to y

I’m sure you can find a lot of edge cases and work around but at some point you get to “we don’t need passwords because someone can crack them anyway”. The fact is that there’s nothing potentially dangerous about minor watching porn where t

I'm ok with people choosing not having children & it's good that there's a choice. I'm just pointing out (from personal experience, an experience someone who doesn't have kids doesn't have) that it's n

International travel and fine dining is absolutely not comparable to having kids in terms of the returns you get on these activities. I don't mean quantitatively, but qualitatively - you don't get the same kind of satisfaction fro

Communal childcare in kibbutzim is not related to economic success - I know people who grew up like that, they gave up on it because the results for the kids were seen as negative. Even in rich kibbutzim with plenty of resources they'v

IIRC they were also available as “non-standard” feature in compilers at the time before being added to c99 (e.g. I’m pretty sure gcc in the late 90s supported all of these if you didn’t force c89 compatibility).

This sounds like it can work great at HP or IBM, but how do you translate this to a single-digit startup (both size of staff & amount of years in existence)? Or do you just not hire juniors in a startup?

I've added screen time restrictions to the ipad my kids use (5 and 7, but mostly the 7 year old - the younger one seems to not care much for TV of his own volition). I set it to 10 minutes per day per year of age (so 1h10m per day, as
