Scala still has a better design at its base, which is missing from Java and I don’t see how Java can retro-fit it into the language, Immutability is a big part of being functional and doing safe multi-threading stuff, java is doing all the

One huge risk is people higher up change more often in startups in my experience, especially early ones, what usually follows is a domino restructuring and basically a different company. This happens a lot when a VC in a big round decides t

I find that flat design was the answer to having too much emphasis (in my opinion) on design and designers being too involved in the process which (again, in my opinion) collided with the engineering work..

> While I agree with you that it is a didactic problem, I also think it is an optimisation heuristic. When working with engineers, it is expected that they know what, for example, git/version control is, hence such jargon will be sp

If you were to postfix any “AI” criticism with “yet”, it would make the point being made more legitimate.. We don’t know what we don’t know..

Sounds like the auto-makers play down on the talent they have and prefer to push the work outside, probably fearing they are not able to execute. This reminds me of being a 3rd party selling service to some company and they constantly ask f

Had very similar experiences at not even a "big company" it's more of a mentality of a "Big Co.". People hired to just not care, sit at meetings to make managers feel important and provide some pseudo progress to hi

There's a place for a discussion about the moral repercussions, I doubt it's a 10 drunk driver vs 1 soccer mom situation ;)

Seeing all the near-misses and life saving interventions on YouTube involving Tesla vehicles, 1 death seems not such a bad result.. The question should be - how many lives were saved by this system vs how many would die if driven "norm

My observation is made from experiences, you are suggesting that if something is good for the market then that's where the market will go.. Unfortunately my experience is that decisions are made by individuals who have their own ORG po

To an extent it's your fault for taking the position and accepting the status-quo, my advise is to get hired where the manager has the same "standards" that you aspire to, if you assume you will be able to "raise the bar

In todays market where developers are commoditized “resources” it’s only logical for the “ninjas” or “superstars” who repeatedly see their role being perceived as “working bees” who don’t want to fall into this management / worker dich

After 20 years in the industry, it seems like success is silent, nobody really appreciates something that works well, by its nature it seems to make the “success” look easy. Root cause of success is not failing for all the possible failures

There's an implicit assumption you are making where your "Return On Investment" measures $$$ and what I believe the article is trying to say is that is exactly the problem and you should be measuring something else

This is a necessary and an important position to fill, as now-days every dev wants to push for Lambda / Kinesis / SQS and other tech architectures that mainly look cool on their CVs and add nothing to the product (except for risks

I’m also from this “micro state” and I find your alluding to racism to be disgusting. But am used to this tactic to brute force your rightwing arguments, so no surprise here

This doesn't make sense to me, people take loans to make more money via starting a business or other ventures, loans cost a lot of money, so just having capital to loan out etc makes you money.. Money creates more money so the more you

I get paid to write TypeScript, it has come a long way to a relatively enjoyable experience compared to how expressive i feel with Scala. Looking forward to giving Scala 3 a spin to learn whats new

We're suffering from this here as well (in Israel), we're already in the 4th consecutive election and it looks like there will be a fifth. Bibi's (and his family) use of social platforms has been in forms of - posts with blat
