Rust should make the pool of C++ developers decrease exponentially in the coming decades. There's little reason to code a greenfield project in C++ unless it involves leveraging some niche libraries, and those niche libraries will even

Each of those companies probably has an actual CEO that goes by "VP of operations" or some similar title. And Musk mostly approves some of their decisions and gives his take.

My current contract has a lot of oddly specific noncompete stuff. Fortunately those clauses are mostly non enforceable in my country, unless your former employer still pays you a bunch of money every month. Those clauses are there to please

Most places that employ rockstar frontend guys are like that. Management let them build their design systems and other cool stuff, but most of their backlog consists of new spaghetti on top of old spaghetti plus bug fixes. The cool stuff is

Out of all big tech companies Meta comes across as the biggest tech debt clusterfuck. Their public software is dangerously close to becoming the Yahoo of the 2020s.

I moved on from my previous job when I was asked to lead a team that owned infamously unreadable code. I did not want to feel competent.

This story is another example that societies where complex humour is rare can be manipulated to believe almost anything. There are many examples in the last few years, some of them with global consequences.

Within two weeks I have learnt that bite mark and hair analysis are full of BS. Is there some list of all these shoddy methods?

I would take big money to rewrite some OpenGL to Vulkan or whatever. Right now the easiest way to make big money would be writing some crypto garbage, which aligns with your last sentence. The industry is weird

I recall reading Iceland could roughly sustain 50k people before the industrial era. It took them a long time to sustain the hundreds of thousands that live there today.

Cool. I like (!= love) modern OpenGL and use it every now and then. I don't currently use any Apple product or service, but I have been forced to a couple of times, and I find their bully approach to deprecating stuff very annoying.

I find it kind of shocking that Musk likes Twitter that much, but at the same time it makes sense. If you ignore the wealth differential, his behaviour is similar to the average Twitter user. He may be the perfect owner in that sense. I a

Twitter is old enough to alienate users if non trivial changes are made, but it has also not gone anywhere for years in terms of product development. I'm curious about Musk's plan to escape that complicated vicious cycle. I wouldn

This is a bad idea unless you are paying really well. I would even consider taking a small pay cut to run from a place that forced me to do that stuff. Instead of fixing those problems like a donkey, you should fix your database schema and

My guess is that it's an extreme case of Conway's law, with many teams that produce mountains of code hidden behind some API. Not to mention codebases provided by external firms, which could amount to a large % of all those KLOC.

It looks like a whole generation needs to be coached into catching up with the system. It sounds expensive, but is it feasible? Also this is inevitably going to lead to a quality vs quantity discussion. Between grades 4 and 8 I had some bri

An Occam's razorish answer is that there are fewer bugs nowadays in whatever area this phenomenon is observed. So a better question could be why are there fewer bugs?
