For this apology to undermine CoC, the moderated contributor (to whom the apology was made) must have violated CoC with his contribution (or whatever it was). Nobody links to that discussion anymore (probably better so). Somehow it is quite

As a thought experiment imagine your manager asks you about the new node.js fork and whether you should switch to it. What would you say?

Yes I get it that he may have stepped over other moderators, I can understand this. But how is that in violation with Code of Conduct, exactly? Just don't say it is "Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate

What I'm completely missing in this discussion of Code of Conduct violation is a specific list of which actions violated which clauses in this Code of Conduct. I see a list of complaints, but for an outsider it is really hard to follow

To be honest, for those not (already) involved in this whole debate, it is very difficult to make an informed opinion here. What I see is a screenshot of a GitHub issue ( https://twitter.com/ohhoe/status/89974883830

You can increase the percentage of women without discriminating in hires , i.e. still "hiring the best people for the job". By making your company more desirable for women and thus increasing the percentage of women candidates. Y

This does not have to be gender discrimination. You can achieve this by making your company a better environment for women. This will get you more women in interviews and you'll end up with more female hires.

Correct, recruiting women intentionally, not hiring intentionally.

It does not matter if 80% of engineers are men, it matters if 80% of engineers interviewing with your company are men. The company can try to attract more women to interviews thus changing the 80%. Then you will hire more women, still selec

I came to Germany in 2001 to work as a scientist knowing no German at all. It worked out pretty very well for me.

Many big companies (like SAP) are totally fine with English only. I know a lot of people working in Germany for many years already, almost without speaking a word in German.

I'm not sure where I stated that Spring forces "to make business decisions on scope of different domains or interaction between them that might lead to strong coupling and low modularity".

Somehow I don't share your experience. What are the problem with DI and debugging? I had a lot WTF moments with automagical things, but not with pure DI.

by orless 9y ago

Google is definitely not a benchmark for interviews. From what I experienced, they must have a huge rate on false negatives. You can only afford this if you're Google (or that level).

Whether IoC is reasonable or not does not depend on the number of classes in the project. It is still a useful pattern even if you have, like, 3 classes (component A using implementation B of the interface Ib). It's just if you have on
