I agree. Here is a similar post from another amazing developer. https://www.mikeperham.com/2016/02/09/kill-your-dependencies...

The best product manager arguments are around value. The majority of the time nobody can justify the value of implementing their ideas, economic or otherwise.

I find these types of ideas to be more of a coping mechanism than any sort of deep insight on the human condition. Once everything is stripped away and you are spending your days making artisanal gooseberry preserves you may find that life

It is odd. The product of a mind which clearly thinks very highly of itself.

It has to be much higher than that. Look at the reddit op. I assume this person is nearly an adult and their writing is very broken and meandering. Sure you could argue “it’s just a reddit post”, but I find how people write informally is ge

Agree. I am ready for a Ruby renaissance that is not so heavily focused on rails. I have built quite a few standalone utilities in ruby over the years and it’s a joy compared many other languages and ecosystems.

I don’t know, unless the keyboard was truly awful I probably wouldn’t complain and just get to work on the task at hand. Then again, I started typing when I was a small child, used what was available, and at the time there wasn’t the level

I do not understand the hobby around mech keyboards at all. It reminds me a lot of other activities/sports where the gear becomes more of a focus than the activity itself. Reminds me of photography or paintball. Dudes will have thousan

I absolutely do not share my true feelings about fatherhood. They would not be viewed kindly or understood by most. Also, how I feel about things does not matter, at all. My obligation is the same regardless of how I feel. So I do my best t

I was asked to code a sudoku solver from scratch during an hour long tech screen. I got maybe 60% there. A few days later they called me up and said they liked my work but wanted someone faster. At the time I was bummed, but a decade later

If Apple ever gets continuous bp or glucose monitoring I will probably start to wear one.

Reads like it was majorly inspired by Liz Wiseman’s “Multipliers”. It’s a pretty tedious read (to me) but goes into a lot of detail on these leadership traits and dwells quite a bit on the “diminishing” aspects of them.

People that think the government is correct here need to watch the video of a Subaru Forster casually summiting a huge sand dune while many “proper off road vehicles” fail to do so.

This is a tour de force on the type of curiosity it takes to be really successful with computers.

I think this is going to be a huge boon for dell. We had so many older computers that got completely hosed. Lots of Latitude 5400s died completely. All will need replacements.

I had the same experience. Somebody in our company inherited a Ruby script and was trying to modify it and was stuck. They came to me exasperated. The error message was something really trivial like addition is not defined for some object t

How could you rank them for review priority? Use a combination of repo popularity multiplied by amount of significant differences? Where significant differences are determined by excluding non-code files?

Consider a person that never brushed their teeth, flossed, or used mouth wash for an entire year. On the night before their dentist appointment they finally decided it would be good to brush and floss. How would you describe that? Would it

They agreed, but we have a similar viewpoint on the overall technical excellence of the org, so that part is unsurprising. I am definitely biased, but whether I am blinded to real innovation or progress is something I think about all the ti

There is a similar parallel in the corporate world. Being involved with tech and software has never had less to do with actually being good at those things. I just remarked to my director the other day that the only innovation we have had i

Very cool. Wonder how much time this adds to a test suite as you incorporate it more. Might need to have some different test targets to keep things fast.

I have interviewed dozens of people for fairly specialized roles and the number of people with an impressive looking resume that end up being pretenders is probably greater than 90%. I would much rather interview and hire someone that anoth
