Iceberg on S3 tables is going to be a hot topic in the next few years.

Being open with a select group of collaborators has gained me above average praise, promotions, etc. over the years. You don't need to be an extrovert to be an average or slightly above average engineer, you just have to pick your batt

Rails / Django / etc. are already low code in the eyes of a Go / Rust / etc. developer. No need to stretch the concept, really.

EU companies often post salary ranges but they are often something ridiculous like 50-100K EUR, which makes this law potentially useless unless it also enforces companies to post their actual ranges.

I remember this kind of UX being prevalent in the early 2010s or so. Fortunately most docs have moved on.

I have worked both at Ruby and Python shops. The average Ruby dev works at a mid to small sized company, probably a startup, and they are usually contributing to some proprietary SaaS product on top of Rails. Progress is always happening in

In my country there are many urban legends about seed oils. They are supposed to be awful for your health, etc., and according to my parents it's pretty much poison. These beliefs lead some people to cook exclusively with olive oil. An

Most middling startup CEOs are like that. They do just good enough for the board not to hate them while making a bunch of strange top-down decisions.

According to the CEO, the only reason was that he struggled to attract senior engineers in the area. Eventually that didn't just happen in the area, though...

Leadership at my former place publicly despised remote work. Only senior engineers were allowed to work remotely, and the rest had to work at one of those nasty startup coworking spaces 4x per week. During my tenure, that policy didn't

The top comment gives a good reason. The Ruby community embraces broken software. Running Ruby software in production gives many devs a perpetual feeling of impending doom.

I used to work at a Ruby shop. As a language, Ruby can be elegant despite the overall weirdness, and some of my coworkers were really productive with it. On the other hand, the Ruby community seems stuck in the 2000s, with some of the self

Did the EU ask Microsoft to build leaky, fragile abstractions too? It sounds like Microsoft's architects are a bit too comfy.

They are not claiming they built it themselves. This kind of tool could easily be an offshore job.

How feasible would it be to implement blue green deployments in that kind of system?

EU salaries have been risible for years. My employer will give you a 3% raise every couple of years if you are lucky. When people leave management's answer is we must keep hiring.

Adopting a DevOps culture is usually very difficult at sales-driven orgs, most of which fallaciously call themselves product-driven orgs. Mostly because PMs see it as a cost rather than an investment, and their sole goal is for devs to ship

What's the hiring process like for those ChatGPT-of-the-month positions that pay 2-3x market rate? This looks like something a fresh bootcamp grad would do.

If you leave in some mid EU country, chances are a lot of your current government's policies are based on "sticking it to the man". The man used to be an upper-ish class dude (p96+), but due to how horribly slow and uneducate

In my experience, most engineers and product managers assume that users are governed by some monolithic, absolute power with a single official way of doing things. This is useful early on to deliver their MVP and grab their first batch of u

The main difference is that in the US I could walk away with semi-fuck-you money if I held a similar position. In the EU I have a comparatively minuscule salary, due to lack of competition among other things.
