I should have asked and now do, how the code quality is (in their opinion) and if I can take a look at a representative sample or samples. This is probably the most important. Also, if they practice TDD so I can avoid the job.

Some of the things this article assumes are negative are simply not.

No, I'm building legal software, not practicing civil disobedience. What others do with it shouldn't affect my freedom or life negatively. But it will.

AWS documentation is by far the worst I've ever seen. For all their services. It's unsearchable (through Google or otherwise), most of it no longer pertains and has been superseded but they won't tell you. It's split u

I agree. Civil disobedience is the only solution to such anti-intellectual crusades of greed. The only problem is that people that work on such tools will be persecuted (and prosecuted) even if those tools are completely legal (see the pira

I wouldn't say that's implied. That's why it's so difficult. EDIT: In fact, I'd say the opposite is implied.

Text are asynchronous by nature. Expecting an immediate response is selfish. You expect the other person to carry their phone, check their phone constantly, and drop everything to respond to your (usually dumb) message? Maybe that works wit

How the fuck is this not illegal? Oh wait, it is and someone should prosecute CNET. They're gaining elevated access to your computer without your permission. For once, can't the CFAA be used for good?

Anyone else find it ironic that access to the law is so difficult yet every adult citizen is expected to know every single law that applies at any time in any location in the US and all possible interpretations, case law history, precedents

The US government can backdoor all the products they want. The only thing they will achieve is to destroy the tech sector in the US. That's no big deal right? Who cares if no one outside the US trusts US companies because all their sof

I blame Apple. Their failure to bring a proper package manager to OS X is the reason this type of software exists and needs to be added ad hoc in each application, often insecurely. Hell, even Windows has a package manager now. It's ju

So to summarize, to get rid of an extra 10 (or even 100) megs in Ruby (or 0 megs in some other languages) of memory usage (and disk usage don't forget!) spend weeks rewriting, testing, and integrating your own code instead of using alr

"You spend a few weeks sending lines of text to each other, and you eventually arrange to meet" A bit off topic, but is this common place? You spend a few weeks ? Why not just meet in person and not waste everyone's time?

Aren't racist, sexist, and xenophobic enough? Because I'm sure I can think of plenty more adjectives that I can apply objectively. I disagree with the article that 'fascist' is one of the worst things to be in today&#x27

They'll charge you $100k if you have it. See the exit tax which for certain people will dwarf the $2k fine (because that's the only thing it is): https://www.irs.gov/Individuals/International-Taxpayers/Ex

It's terrible but thinking Amazon is a haven from censorship is wrong. They can and will close your account for any reason or no reason at all. If they didn't agree with this idea, they'd kill the book, guaranteed.

Maybe, but the increased development costs are incredibly high as soon as you move from a monolith, so much so that the deployment costs, no matter how large, will be dwarfed. For example, in my current setup, having a "mini" serv

Any microservices discussion that does not take into account both infrastructure complexity and team size is incomplete. For small teams and small/not complex infrastructures, it's always a bad idea. The premium that is paid for s

They could just put a cap on the number of H-1B workers that can go to any one particular company. Say 1k. You can hire whomever you want right now, but after your 1k, you get no more. It'd force companies to prioritize the most import
