I liked how he wove it together (or attempted to). Agreed that he made points which appeared to stop you and think up the story to draw a parallel but I believe there is a cyclical nature to this. I like seeing the story behind great rivalr

The video should definitely be watched. A little more revealing about the playfulness this team is addressing the issue, although still filling it in with their strong opinions and data. The article came across heavy handed which (I feel) d

Yeah, I dropped paypal a while back after Adobe made charges to my account which I had cancelled. Paypal makes it very easy for subscription services to keep sneaking those charges in. Closing my Paypal made it very easy to stop that nonsen

This person clearly never worked in a remote or distributed team. Different modes of communication for different purposes. Now if you're using Microsoft teams or Jabber just stop. That's cruel and unusual punishment

Had a knee jerk response to this around SOLID really advocating for simplicity in a somewhat rigorous definition. Completely agree with your statements, a good set of guidelines. A challenge we face is that there will always be those who ei

I agree that having a disciplined focus on learning as an exercise...there is more work on your part as a reader. I think the point from the article is that we have richer ways to convey information. I feel like that is fair. I mean we type

Your point of breaking things as early in the process really is the winner. Catching things early and often. Tooling that shifts things further left in the pipeline is my go-to default.

Wow, so well written. I really enjoyed that!

I think you are making the mistake that enterprises who employ thousands of developers are looking for quality over butts in seats.

This is the nail on the head. Until we can show that there is something more effective (and possibly transparent) I fear we are doomed to continue repeating this cycle.

Although I agree that HR is totally jacked and merely reading the yearly buzzwords to detect for "good candidates"... I couldn't get beyond this sounding like: Old Guy Yells at Cloud https://i.kym-cdn.com/ent

Not meant to be an attack and possibly I am missing something but if I paid to take a course at a university and the person teaching it was only ever a step ahead of me at any time... I'd have never taken the course. This style of teac

We are dealing with the path of least resistance and the natural flow of entropy. It seems naive to believe these institutions are not businesses at the end of the day. To change people wanting a degree for degrees sake due to the instituti

Every time I read something about Bitcoin dying I cringe. It's another article written for the attention seeking readership. Bitcoin (and many blockchain based coins) spiked astronomically. They all came back down as well but still un

I think this is a drastically more appropriate response from a leader in a community. Survival of the fittest sure, but when the requirements to change are hard because of high technical accomplishment and a high standard vs grossly complex

Hah! I love that this is a thing. In software development I think I could watch speedruns of folks building a login service/page or any component really.

Compare that to ten years into what banking was. The spreadsheets, math tables, the manual toil...you aren't looking at it realistically. Things don't just pop into existence perfectly but iterate into a local and idealistically g

I think this and the chain that follows is the conversation to be had. It can be done but there is a meeting in the middle from many sides. I believe it centers around the simple laws of thermodynamics, the path of least resistance will be

Is it a problem though. The risks of not using your own cold storage is real. The ability to store your own is outlined by numerous tutorials, explanations. Nobody is crying for those who sent money to the nigerian prince, I don't thin

So glad to see this comment as I felt exactly the same way. I would look forward to reading articles from any point of discussion however strongly people felt and he seems like he would make for a great debate but at the end it was....&quot

Sounds like UX failure. A large part of design is incorporating obvious workflows from non-obvious systems. User testing, iterative development, some type of strong feedback loop are all tools we leverage to combat this outcome. I understan

This article feels like an opinion piece. I say feels like because there were a few studies referenced light heartedly which had me hoping we'd see more. If this article could gain that higher source of truth I'd argue it's a

Oh just how fantastic! Such great detail, I felt like a fly on the wall. Thank you for this.

Gonna say I expect to see the dot files and don't really care. I think to be upset over that is just looking for a fight. It works across all of my OS's, I know its config specific to the app, and if I want to jump in and get some

I don't think it's uncommon for people to learn from the top down and after some time and a bit if passion find themselves digging into the roots of it. It came across as a tad condescending although I can easily believe it wasn&#

This is awesome. Straight-forward mechanics, engaging, and it could really just end there. I hope to inspire in my own kids something you have shared with your little brother. A true gift! Thank you for sharing.

You appear to take an extreme stance. Try a different argument: If your parents knew there was a high probability that their child would inherit genes making CF an aspect of their lives, would they try to change that even at potential risk.
