You are making the case for source control and having no external dependencies like npm, but you don't need reproducible builds for that.

You definitely have to push for it, only in the best of companies will everyone from top to bottom management take case of this proactively. Speak to your manager regularly that you need to expand your skills, tell him why, and show him wha

As a manager you should think hard about what aspects of scrum are important to you and where you can let loose. This will heavily depend on the makeup of your team - how many experienced developers are there who don't need hand holdin

During development of a large system static linking is hell. The final link just takes too long if you are only working on one object file. Also during debugging you have to load all symbols in gdb, which does not scale. With dynamic linkin

They were probably attempting to weasel their way out of it by raising extra cash (which they did recently) and stuff like that. However at some point their lawyers probably told them they will go to jail unless they come clean now so they

Thanks for posting, it's good to see long-time developers that did not move to management :) How many jobs have you held, and what was your criteria when switching jobs (apart from any possible family reasons)? Looking back, is there a

It certainly depends on seniority and experience, the more you have the easier it is to work on your own. You don't need much guidance anymore and you know what communication and planning is needed in advance, so you can do it in batch

Are you aware of anyone using it for C++? I couldn't find any mention of C++ in the documentation nor via Googling (sure it will be possible but it seems to involve significant setup)

I think there is no cloud service for this precisely because companies mostly don't want to give out their source code. Although many already rent AWS instances for their devs :) In many companies the build cluster runs on the develope

If you are referring to a caching distributed compile cluster, most companies with large codebases are using one (or should). It helps a lot and can make the difference between taking half a day for a scratch make (i.e. unusable) to getting

I think the issue wasn't with dark themes per se, rather with bad color choices resulting in poor contrast (dark blue or dark green on black)

I'm also a bit surprised by the low number of reported cases (there were some, but apparently only from foreigners - which was heavily publicized) Certainly there are new infections but I'm optimistic that they can and will be con

Don't think that will happen. China will clean up the root cause of the virus quickly (wild animal markets). They seem to have the outbreak under control now, are ramping up production again and are in excellent position to help other

CureVac's main investor is Dietmar Hopp. He's one of the founders of SAP and 8th richest German at the moment. He's also been known to donate large amounts of money, just recently he gifted $100 million to build a new center

Unfortunately not the case in Germany, unless you have a house with solar. And its mostly due to taxes.

The solution often is to have a warm standby that can take over immediately. You do not get any distributed overhead that is present in a fully load-balanced system during normal operation, and only pay a small amount in the very exceptiona
