After reading “On intelligence” and being disappointed by people eagerly associating ML with AI, I think this guy and his team may be onto something. It may not be much, but I welcome any attempt/perspective that is different from the

Yes. The concepts are applicable basically everywhere. For example: do you know how systemd restarts your service if it crashes? How about how k8s behaves when your health probes fail? It’s everywhere. Build it to crash fast if it has a p

Yes and no. When it comes to Google I have a choice. When it comes to credit I do not.

Not a big Google fan (actually actively minimizing Google products use) but I do not agree with you. Having your SSN/all details about your credit history exposed is way way worse than having your google account compromised. People

a senior developer, by definition, will hit the ground running with mostly anything you use. that's the senior part in senior developer. also if you believe that people need years of use to be good in any language/tools/fra

being replaceable is a noble goal. the problem is that maybe some people don't want to be replaceable and maybe they want/seek to gain some kind of job security through the tooling they use, their idiosyncratic processes or just t

I'm sorry but that argument does not hold much water. Any developer with [maybe] the exception of people fresh out of school can and should be able to learn new things. Fast. On-the-job. If you really believe that you're going t

Yes. Because mainstream is what you should select for when choosing your tools. On a more serious note: I’m very wary of people that have discovered the one true language, framework, etc. That’s how you end up with 100 lines of go instead a

You would probably be wrong. I had a 5S before and got the SE. Really like the form factor and to me this is peak Iphone. Everything after this is a downhill ride for me.

You know, when I first saw (many years ago) an animation of DNA replication my first though was: hey, this looks like code. Imagine my suprise seeing this Dawkins fellow comparing DNA to code in the beggining of the “The Blind Watchmaker”

That’s the classic recipe for a “best seller”. A lot of hype and polish but of little substance.

I had a different experience. There is a lot of speculation in the book and normally I would not mind it that much, but again you have to practice what you preach (which the author does not). Again, it’s an okay book. I wouldn’t say the bes

Sapiens is an okay book, but it’s all over the place. On one hand it kinda says that in many regards we have hypothesis at best (ie we don’t know) to follow it with [sometimes] wild theories. There is no way you can cover as much ground a

IMHO I don’t see Disney pulling this off. It’s more likely they’ll go the HBO way where after multiple failures to spin their service they will end up selling their content as an add-on subscription.

As always, the truth is somewhere in the middle. There are certain stages in the lifetime of a project where TDD can work execptionally well, but it is by no means a panacea. Things can and will sometimes emerge organically, but most of the

+1 for SpaceChem being stupid-hard. In spite of that I thoroughly enjoyed it.
