I can testify this is not the case, at least in my experience. Being able to say "I'm out" does not guarantee happiness. Compare it to people saying "when I win the lottery, all my problems are fixed". Surely you ha

Exactly! As a maintenance dev, you tend not to get much praise, you need to continuously explain why things take so long. I'm currently adapting some code that is, in the eyes of management, adding an extra little wire, which should no

What you wrote is my takeaway from the article as well. There's an expression "if you can't do, teach!" which can be interpreted in different ways, but I would say it means you get much better at something when you are f

Exactly. It is very easy to fall into the trap the author describes, for junior as well as senior engineers. Managers should ask for feedback early on in the process. This could be a first draft of the architecture or even a simple bullet l

>Anyway, curious if you have thoughts on this -- I just don't think we'll immunize our way out of covid based on what I just said. My best hope is that variants like Omicron that don't cause as many deaths/major sympt

Well, i truly believe covid has already evolved to the level of influenza (high spread, less deadly), our collective immune system just needs to catch up, which at the current rate of infections will be a matter of months. Since it appears

You say infected, but were they severely ill? More than a "normal" influenza infection?

Time will tell, but I'm pretty convinced that the omicron wave will be the last _big_ disruptive wave. You can say that our immune system is a patchwork, but zo it is against other diseases as well. It's mostly the common denomina
