I watched a couple videos from this and was good to go. https://lagunita.stanford.edu/courses/Engineering/Compilers/... My strategy was to start with a very small grammar and grow it.

I don't get it. The article doesn't explain anything. It's just a list of statements. "This is bad, that is good." But it doesn't explain why the bad things are bad, and how using monads is better. It also does

What is your role within the company? Beware of the Halo effect [1]. For example, people are biased towards their first and last impression. That's why you/everyone should write stuff down regularly, so you can at least try to off

In my opinion the main benefit of code review is diffusion of knowledge. It's kind of pointless to let new hires do reviews.

Python has that as well: https://docs.python.org/3/library/doctest.html

He didn't say at work though, he said in the office. Might have been after hours.

By the way: Props to dang for making all this possible. HN is very lucky to have him.

This is very good advice. I would change the last point to: Don't work overtime unless you, personally, get something out of it. That something might be not getting fired. But if it doesn't get you anything... Don't do it.

Unfortunately 5. doesn't work if your company doesn't do any code reviews.

But who's forcing the Funny or Die guy to put content on Facebook?

I agree. I said that it was a mistake, but in the beginning it really wasn't. It's just not a viable long term strategy in my view.

I didn't say that. It's not the 80s anymore, and the reason that C++ is still and will always remain hard to parse is... backwards compatibility.

Lots of posts here frame it like "Yes, it's a bit of a complex language, but the C++ committee has the difficult job of keeping everything backwards compatible, so it's understandable." But that's not the reality. T

I don't think it did. Maybe the terms are being used differently in different cultures. Nothing wrong with that. The article is written with an American audience in mind.

The article should be renamed to "Our transportation systems fails the seniors who neglected to build it".

There's a follow up email that has much more details. Not ELI5 though. > But since the peanut gallery is paying lots of attention it's probably worth explaining it a little more for their benefit. http://lkml.iu.ed

For some reason it really bothers me that they keep using the word "communist". Not an expert, but it seems wrong. Maybe socialist would be more fitting?

It doesn't matter what they use it for. They can use it all they want as long as they pay me for it.

I spent multiple hours on one assignment, only to have the guy tell me off in a 2 min email. Didn't even have the courtesy to give me a call and let me justify the decisions I made with the code. If you want me to spend more than 30 mi

True. However, the discussion here in this thread doesn't indicate that everyone understood that statement.

This article is a bit of a let down. They repeat the same thing over and over again. That there are mothers who regret having children, and how they are criticized by some other people as soon as they voice those regrets. What the article d
