But what if you have a life. And dependents. And bills to pay. As much as I would like to agree with you, people have different value systems. And money talks. So quitting isn't always an option, even though it is the most ethical. Can

Unfortunate given that my advice is sort of based on Java... When I was learning Scala, I was intimidated by a lot of the syntactic sugar that it had. It's a calming effect to realize that all of that desugars into very simple, regular

Exploring: Is it possible to have a 10x /team/ rather than a 10x individual?

I'm going to disagree here, based on personal experience. I've not met a single individual whose contributions were so amazing to make up for their toxic personality. Most all of the toxic people I've worked with have had poo

To further emphasize your point, there are skill lines. Someone could be smart at X but stupid at Y. So unless you're trying to hire someone that's A-level at everything...

I agree with you. But devil's advocate... The pool of ideal start-up candidates is finite. What if you don't have the budget to execute on a team of A hires? Something must be fungible. Either you don't actualize your dream a

The real shame here is that `samlambert`'s user name isn't `SLAMbert`.

> simple indicators of future success just might not exist No one wants to admit this. We want to have control of the future! And prediction is one way to do that. I once read in an agile book somewhere that certain factors don't ne

I'm upset this wasn't called Joe Camel. And marketed towards children.

You're conflating age with level of experience.

What a douchey boss.

But isn't that like saying a healthy person can run 10x faster than someone with a limp? For context, my background has been predominantly in a dynamic language, but now I've drank all the typed kool-aid, so I'm sold, as it s

I think the logic is that this particular chassis is constant, and we are to assume that battery technology will only get better. So while the laptop may be underpowered/under ratio _today_, it won't be in its next incarnation, i.

I'm not down with your link between music and computer languages. Music is performative while what makes success with computer languages is the ability to juggle abstractions at different levels of zoom. I don't see an overlap the

Hard to take them seriously when they insist that their main application icon is "beautiful" as well. Beauty aside, having an open office alternative is always welcome.

I've interviewed people who didn't know their way around a loop. I would love to exist in a world where everyone could fizz buzz flawlessly.

Some interviewees talk up a big game. And some interviewers are too forgiving. "He fudged blah, but he probably meant factory pattern. Hired!" Fizz buzz you can't skate around. Either you know how to implement something, or y

Given no other information, I'm also in the "disagree with your unique opinion" camp. What are the use cases that you would need an ordered dictionary?

There's something so endearing about the pixelation. Reminds me of Sierra games!

You are comparing two different types of numbers. What was originally compared was different sized integral types. What you are comparing is two numeric types that have a large semantic gulf (fractions vs integers). So your point is disinge

Why even allow similar sounding words? Lamp and lamps? I thought the whole point was to avoid ambiguity. I wonder where there corpus of words comes from..?

Your experience with Scala sounds unusual. What is an example of something you wanted it to do, but could not easily?

I think the slides could use some dressing up. What's the Perl scene like in the UK? As a former Perl professional, I'm continually not impressed by the caliber of some of my colleagues. I've actually left for greener pasture
