This has got to be fake right? Economic disparity, environmental uncertainty, political nonsense. Either the people surveyed are completely tuned out and just glad to be able to watch Netflix all day or mass-shootings are a new way of expre

I think it's common courtesy to offer some feedback in exchange for the amount of time that these interviews often take. It's the consolation prize that helps you have a better chance of winning the real prize next time. I've

Haha. Love it! The satire; not the fact that it's largely in alignment with my experience in enterprise...

As with anything "agile", it pays to stop and take stock of how your processes actually address the 4 key agile principals: - Individuals and interactions over processes and tools - Working software over comprehensive documentatio

Thanks for the feedback! I agree wholeheartedly with the suggestion. I'll be sure to implement that.

I've felt the same many times in my career. I used to think that I should "stick it out" and things would get better. They don't. You should start interviewing, accept an offer, and put in your two weeks notice. Try not

I'm not convinced that we've done much at all to educate society about the technology that permeates our 2020 existence. The elementary, middle, high school offerings for computer science / engineering related classes are dis

Glad I didn't buy into the Sonos ecosystem a few years back when I was looking for multi-room audio solutions. I've found that it's much more fun and rewarding building systems for each room than rolling out the same generic

PHP is so polarizing... so much so, that it's enough for me to pass entirely. Even if the language has improved I think the culture is still broken.

I've worked at places in the past that forced pairing. One monitor and two keyboards style. It was painful; impossible to get into flow state. All of your mental maps need to be communicated repeatedly to the other person - and it&#x27

Sadly, I feel much the same; but I think the population is too sedated and/or divided to fight in the near-term.

Yeah, just off the top of my head; I think there may be some more compelling reasons: inheriting a planet primed for environmental disaster, technology addiction and constant inundation of information which frustrates the addict, knowledge

Not surprising, but the more interesting question is: What can be done to prevent new companies from reaching the final, greedy and uncaring, corporate form that we all loath? This is not an isolated Google issue. It's systemic in comp

What I don't understand is why people would need to pay more (and that always seems to be the crux of why we can / can't do something). It's about allocation of existing funds to me. We spend more on our military than mo

Just gotta rethink the architecture so that it scales: this sounds like at least 3 separate APIs w/ at least 3 separate DBs should be stood up. This is of course because if the post-title service goes down then the customers can still

Yeah... I dunno what this article is trying to teach me from a database interactions perspective. It's unclear whether the JavaScript is executing client side or server side. The final code block seems like a really inefficient impleme

Thanks for taking the time to write that. It's clearly stated and helped me recognize some more of the nuance of our current situation. While I haven't thought it through entirely, nor am I qualified to assert that I can; I wonder

I tend to agree with you, but I don't have the data to back it up. Do you have any success stories to share of modern products that operate at scale on simple, dedicated hardware configurations? It seems to me, like most things in soft

How do you feel about individuals that have money, but arguably lack talent themselves. That is, people who have acquired resources through inheritance / luck, then grown them through investment strategy executed by those with talent a

Is it the patterns themselves or how, what the patterns represent, are put to use that should be illegal? I'd always argue the latter; as I can kill someone with a rock, but making rocks illegal seems unreasonable. contents of his har

Mostly just convention, but it's also a more flexible pattern. A public instance variable cannot have public reads, but private writes for instance. There is also the case of derived properties. e.g. LocalDateTime ranAt LocalDateTime f

That's like, your opinion, man. Maybe stop being a jerk and try and see things from my perspective... I think a jerk is just someone who evades / sabotages communication efforts around the analysis of a given action. Or someone wh

This ask presupposes a huge amount of trust which simply isn't justified considering the history of governments. I prefer my trust to be guaranteed; with like, y'know, cryptography.

Seems like there are still a lot of cigar-related apps in their app store. What say you, Apple? I really can't stand all the double standards, hypocrisy, and ignorance around vaping.

I think all of your points are valid, but I'm not convinced that there is only one best solution worth pursuing. For instance, reframing the issue as a problem with the distribution of resources makes sense, but I wonder to what extent

True for now... and when the global south further industrializes, modernizes? I don't think that the argument is flawed, but population is not an indicator of blame; it's a constraint on solutions.
