Are they doing it for free though? To me it seem like they may be building for the future of learning, and getting paid at least something (certificates) to do it. I work as an external examiner for CS students in Denmark, and I’ve seen not

I think you formulate it nicely. Sometimes the things it made sense to share stop making sense. Something that means rework, sometimes you end up with a parent method which is overridden in every child, possibly because each override was sp

I was struck by the lack of inheritance in go, that to me is brilliant. I’ve worked with C# for a decade, and I’ve yet to see a use of inheritance that wouldn’t have been easier to maintain in the long run without using inheritance. We’ve l

There are leaks from Russia though, like when their entire Olympic athlete program was outed in the doping scandal, or when they hacked the Ukrainian power grid, or the troll factories. The leaks just never make it to wiki leaks.

I think we all got caught up in wiki leaks and the seemingly good fight for truth, but to me, their truth looks biased. I mean, you have to wonder why wiki leaks helped Trump win the election and then pretty much stopped their American leak

I don’t think it has anything to do with intelligence, I think it has to do with experience. Documentation can take some getting used to, and like I said, sometimes it really sucks, but I’ve found it to be worthwhile. I mean technically you

I don’t think stackoverflow is a problem at all, I think it’s much better to have people ask stupid questions than to call them stupid. That being said, I do think people owe it to themselves to read the documentation first. I’m extremely r

Most of Western Europe does. With most of our production having moved to other countries, we rely on our ability to produce and own intellectual property. Without strong copyrights we would have nothing to trade.

I don’t understand that though. I agree that C# certainly could be clearer on the intended purpose of project separation, maybe it could even be stricter, but the default way to build projects in C# is with a high amount of isolation. You c

I think splitting into projects with their own separate dependencies is/was actually one of the few advantages to C#, because it lets you replace an entire project and it’s dependencies seamlessly. This has been extremely handy for us

We take it fairly serious in the public sector in Denmark. We’re doing our own POCs and we’re inviting partners to build things with us. It’s very much a hit’n’miss field. It works with recognition. It helps us sort through millions of page

We do a lot of digitisation in the public sector of Denmark, in fact we’re world leaders in it along side Estonia. Being an old social democracy we tend to build solutions to be inclusive. This means you can opt out of a range of our digiti

Except the law includes exceptions and much less rigorous rules for startups and small-medium companies. It’s directly targeting YouTube, Facebook and the like, in an attempt to make them pay authors and creators. Unless you’re against copy

Big companies simply shouldn’t use Google services until they resolve these issues with their awful support. I know this is about Apps and you can’t really avoid google if you make apps, but the story is the same throughout their services.

I know this is an extremely unpopular opinion, but I’m actually fine with more equality in copyright legislation. These “disastrous” copyright laws already apply to you and me, and if you think they don’t, then just try hosting a top 1 musi

Really? That’s how I feel about SPA frameworks and robotic process automation. It decreases efficiency, introduces technical depth and we’re solely doing them because everyone else is. Next up is AI/ML.

The really hilarious part about this one is that it’s from 2016, and the author seem to have since switched from Clojure to Kotlin. I think it’s still interesting to read about people switching. I mean, I’ll never understand why people pref

Maybe, I’m not personally opinionated in either direction. We use more and more JS and Python in our shop, and we have had no issues with dynamic types. On the other hand, that’s very likely because every one of us had been doing either JAV

The most important aspect of development in most companies is the developer him/herself. It’s typically also the most expensive resource tied to development. At least if you look at it from a management perspective. This means that it’

I’ve done some proof of concepts with IoT in the Danish public sector, and to do it, we’ve had to build our own wireless internet because the current ISP controlled one is just terrible, and it’s mobile/wireless version is frankly too

Oh I agree with that completely, but it’s very easy for developers to get away with shitty practices in a lot of shops.

If you develop, not if you maintain. This is a major reason we stay away from JS frameworks after burning the hands on implementing an AngularJS that was obsolete a year later. That and a few page reloads never killed anyone.

It’s fine from a development perspective where the job is to make something work. It’s horrifying from an operations perspective where the job is to make sure everything works. Developers can afford to ignore looking into dependencies, oper

That was kind of my point about partners. We’re the partner, we pay for every line of code. It’s OSS, but no one is contributing to it for free because it’s also pretty boring stuff like handling a employee/manager vacation acceptance

You can take CS50 and following or the MIT MOOCs on edx.org and learn more about CS in a few weeks than I did during my entire freshman year of the university of Aalborg. Sure it’s introductory, but so was my freshman year. I don’t really a

I think you can make money on Open Source, but I think you need partners to do so. I work for a Danish municipality that is a member of a municipality driven open source community called OS2. We’re around 60 members, and we’ve recently won

We don’t need a massive operations setup when a single IIS instance can handle every citizen logging into X and not flinch. Yet more and more people are building a setup mirroring big players like Netflix. My point was that it might be a wa

I work in the public sector, our most expensive resource is the people who work for us. If you have 8 people spending two years building a toolchain, that means your tool chain cost 65712 hours to setup. In order to be worthwhile, it needs

I think we teach developers wrong. I recently attended a devops workshop for one of our government agencies, to share knowledge like we do in the public sector, and their setup was quite impressive. At least it was, until it turned out that
