This simple concept pretty much bridges all design philosophies in practice. You have MVC and OOP, you have functional services, and you are free to create the appropriate amount of layers you need. To address another comment, MVC does not

Thank you for taking a look! You know, we hadn't considered making prints but I've always wanted to merchandise. The goal was to make an academic resource and to collect and preserve the images in large resolutions.

When anyone says they want to learn to code(tm), I tell them to do that book, front to back, then build a twitter clone with what they've learned. I expect you'd be job ready after doing that. It's how I did it. Nobody has ta

It is to reduce labor cost and ultimately increase the bottom line. Many people will leave because they don't "fit." Many people will be attracted and take a lower salary than they deserve in exchange for "culture."

So many people think there is a way to beat the market but no one outside of a handful have over the course of their life. I just sat in a stand-up listening to my peers talking about making $20 or $60 on an Apple or Nvidia trade they made,

Why the hell is email so hard for people? You just answer an email or ignore + archive it when it comes in, it takes 15-20 minutes a day. Everything is searchable from there in a simple search bar. I have been in management so don't us

Almost all orgs will allow you to set your calendar to private, showing only "busy" or something similar. Just do this and make the fake meetings yourself.

What you're describing sounds to me like poor departmental relationships and the typical challenges of lots of people with lots of goals working together. I sure hope all of y'all's companies are 'business purpose focuse

Lots of people are talking about reading, but I think ear training, particularly interval identification, is the fundamental skill to understanding music theory. You ultimately want to map combinations of frequencies to emotions, and that c

Then you do the layering when you need to. One of my biggest gripes about many engineers is their desire to fix technical debt for no business purpose. In your example, the team tasked with retrofitting would have introduced the layers when

I have managed delivery teams and this all fits my experience. One sex can have 100% best intentions but can nonetheless dominate. My best performing, and funnest, teams have been nearly equally split.

Hard work, intentionality, and most importantly luck. There are many famous game devs including Shigeru Miyamoto, Todd Howard (I'm not sure if you were joking in your first comment because he definitely used to have a cult following),

Over and over I got excited that I was going to meet a person who ostensibly had a lot in common with me, and it just never was the case. I also continually got the same search results all year.

What I'm saying is a might as well have dated random people for a year, it would have been the same result. The dating sites sell you on 'matching.' Oh, and if you think you're using it for free, think again. They are co

Survivorship Bias: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivorship_bias I met my wife online after a year of fruitless first dates. Maybe I'm just unappealing or something but it was truly a miserable part of my life.

I'm blown away. So the glasses are always present when the bass/808s are hitting, so is there something that maps the sound to the images? What is it about the algorithms that make the images 'dance' so quickly between t

Philosophically I am with you. Though, I do think SO rewards its users in a tangential way. "Karma" is something you can advertise to prospective employers. Not just the score, but you can give examples of how you answer questions

It is 100% a-ok that you don't want to do such a large project. It would also be a-ok if you wanted to. I've observed that for some people, obsessing over a software project is as natural as breathing. Not me though, I have comple
