Doctors found out that washing their hands caused less people to die, and it's a bit of a nuisance but totally worth it. Software devs have not found out that anyone dies unless we do strict tdd. But we have found out that unless we ha

I agree this view: "... journalism's first loyalty is to the citizenry and that journalists are thus obliged to tell the truth and must serve as an independent monitor of powerful individuals and institutions within society."

You left out the where. SELECT employee.name where role = 'developer' Vs SELECT staff.name” where role = 'developer' Then the plural one reads better

I'm very literal minded and many metaphors irk me because they require a unspoken shared agreement of only considering the positive aspects that match and ignore the inconvenient ones. Like all sports metaphors used in work related act

I finished reading Kleppman's Designing Data-Intensive Applications last night and this looks like it's straight out of the last chapter that talk about the future. They don't use the term "dataflow" though. https:

What bothers me with drag and dropping epubs is that you can read it fine and annotate but I can't find the annotations online. I haven't even looked up exporting the annotations manually from the device because that is not my sce

This is a case where stating your opinion and credentials will make you sound really old and conservative so it will be easy to take cheap shots like "you are just afraid of change". At my previous gig I worked for a decade with a

Of course it's possible, that's my point. Both the maintainer and the requestors should avoid that word. The real questions are. Is it reasonable? Is it worth it? Is it along the lines of the problems the software set out to solve

"not possible" is as much nonsense as "everything is possible". Is it possible for vlc to implement support for rendering and editing common 3d object models? Yes! But is it possible given what vlc was set out to do? No!

You have been a maintainer and yet you said "your software" instead of "the software you are maintaining". When you maintained an OSS project, did you accept pull requests from lots of contributors or was it a solo show?

From when I was doing kanban there were, very intentionally, little to no forecasting done. We broke up a feature a bit and started chugging along. Every question from mgmt like "when will it be done?" was met with a "we are

I'm a very honest person and I would say that it is _with_ a brown tounge that you will not survive. Dying a bit every day you keep playing along with the new direction that you genuinely don't believe in. Rather you should just s

By exaggerating the example and moving out of shared constructs I was trying to get wegfaw... to see how it is to be "annoyingly sensitive". That even though "hit by a bus" is "well-understood", it could still

How will you even talk about this? "can you install purl on the server so we can filter these logs?" "do you mean the one with an e or the one with the u?" Also, based on the name, I was half guessing this was going to b
