   Maybe my brain is wired differently, but having to tell a new hire "Oh yeah sometimes the build randomly fails and we just press retry until it works" would just feel kinda embarrasing to me.

   I'm pretty sure that wasn't the point - however infrequently it occurs, it violates the principle that only changes introduced since the previous build could have made it fail. In practical terms, this means that you never know wh

   Mmm. I inherited a rather hardcore strain of liking entirely deterministic builds from being a Debian Developer and would never give up the dependability of it now. In fact, the thought of a build process connecting to the internet to downl

    I felt the same way about tech meetups about 18 months ago - myself and my immediate circle of friends just stopped attending them: Watching someone go through the absolute basics of Amazon Web Services or node.js in a real life presentatio

    Hm, didn't nginx do something similarly "ugly" for a while? Like inspecting the (completely making it up here) second character to see if it's 'E'? A quick look now suggests they are using a parser generator no
