I have seen a bad hire having instant impact on team and after person was let go, team was still getting back on track to pre-hire productivity for another 3 months. We know all managers that say "stack doesn't matter, we can swap

For me it seems this simplification falls flat right away when you take into account budget constraints. It is not software development where you can start a project every month see how it goes and drop it or pivot. I guess they use a lot o

That’s something I have hard time explaining to the business. Yea we do all the best practices but still no one can guarantee 100% deliveries. Just not possible for e-mail. Yes we can have 100% over a year but after that it still is a lotte

There is a world of difference between supporting open source software or any pro bono foundation and supporting election candidacy. I think a 2yo will get the distinction and you are asking for clarification? Besides that go read up on 80’

I was definitely hooked up on pace of the writing and it was a lot of things that I would agree. Definitely — fucking great — something to read.

Real problem I encounter usually is that business people (and devs) don’t understand OLAP vs OLTP. They think they can bolt on dashboards or make interface having basically OLAP in the same project and make it perfectly performant. Here in

I think it goes more like: Hello Skynet, we have 1.6T debt to hide as there are no chances to recoup that money and investors are getting really angry at us. Hello, say no more I have a perfect solution for this problem…

Do you have any meaningful experience as a software developer? That’s a silly take. I somehow learned over the long run: SQL different flavors, couple of ORMs, multiple programming languages and multiple frameworks. Not counting different t

In my experience ORM doesn’t save anything on writing queries. You still have to write somewhat same code that looks like sql query. You still need to know joins, you still need to know DB structure. Getting rid of SQL queries is not the jo

I just wrote it at the end of my previous comment. You can use well known library that more people will comfortably using or given enough time you will build crooked, half baked ORM of your own.

It is just „SQL people” crying out not knowing how to work with ORM. They always claim that devs who use ORM don’t know SQL. But I never seen or hired a dev that doesn’t know SQL and yet for each project we use ORM. I also never seen anyone

I have never seen a dev and we never would hire a dev that doesn’t know SQL and yet we still use ORM for each and every app we develop.

Don't use an ORM . Highly debatable. When your highest cost is developers salaries. Don't reinvent a type system by having a single table where each row can mean many different things depending on a "type int" enum col

But that’s the problem with AI it is like 16yo script kiddy who will just exfiltrate all your PII and think it did good job. Mature pentester would pop calc.exe make screenshot and be done. Other problem is setting up air gapped test enviro

Because the proof is in the pudding. Real pentests are about showing exploitation, merely enumerating vulnerabilities, that’s vulnerability scan and works on known vulnerabilities. You can’t confirm a vulnerability by _not exploiting_ it, e

You are conflating „state level actor” with „police level action”. There is a world of difference if you get searched by your local police and a country level agency. There are military units dealing with forensic investigations they have 1

Working with anyone who reads a book and treats it as an instruction is not fun. Just like working with fresh college grads who are ambitious and think college knowledge is an instruction.

Don’t forget months or years later when shit hits the fan, developers will be blamed for being lazy and not the product person. No one will remember Joe said something on one or two meetings we build for 90th percentile - code in git reposi

I find it that in wild it is quite often used by product people to push crap ASAP because they don’t want to spend time finding out even basic constraints in the system they supposed to know like the back of their hand. Then engineers are o

Exactly I have limited time in my life to tinker with stuff. If something is important for me I can waste hours setting it up and running. If it is something new to me, if it doesn’t work out of the box I most likely will just move on.

There is no shame and no business there. We just read a story of someone who didn’t want to pay market price and went DIY. There are companies doing bowling alley equipment and you can pay them for maintenance. Is there a single one of thos

The person who volunteered to do the work used SQLite. That is a totally valid reason. Though if you can run it from SQLite there is not much tuning on Postgres that would be needed. I would expect migration to Postgres from MariaDB would

Exactly, looks like I should have written that down for myself instead of relying on LLM or even better, train my memory instead of depending on crutches ;)
