I have yet to work at a company where teams were so discipled in their silo with API version control and backward compatibility that it did not require cross-team alignment. This is largely a theory and a myth.

It's hit and miss, but the good episodes are worth listening to. And of course there is the Steven Seagal two-parter, which is not only one of the best episodes of Behind The Bastards - it's one of the best podcast episode sets ev

What happened to "freedom of speech, not freedom of reach"? It's like Musk is sitting there proactively trying to destroy his investment.

Think of it as writing in a natural language. You are writing a story that someone else has to read and follow. The compiler will know what you mean if you use the the right words, but you are really not writing the code for the compiler

If it was all just Capitalism, we'd still be working six-day weeks without health insurance alongside our kids. There has to be a trade-off between satisfying some people's hunger for profit and, well - civilization itself.

Of course not, I was going to say that, actually - they live on protected, isolated compounds. Logically they should not care about what is happening elsewhere, right? But they do, just not the stuff in their backyard. There are woke people

What amazes me is that the Valley gazillionaires are not spending their fortunes to fix their own habitat. They can just BUY the city government they want. Instead, they are shoving mountains of cash to turn the United States into some perv

There is a solid case to be made that many tech companies are ridiculously bloated, trying to show "growth" to VCs by increasing the headcount and not the users (who are defined in rather shady and morally/legally questionabl

The argument is that basic human decency is "woke". Did I get the gist of it?

I once installed Win 98 SE for funzies in a virtual machine, around 2016 - couldn't browse the web because Internet Explorer could not do HTTPS.

So why the tantrum? Georges Soros really sticks in his craw? What happened?

Musk literally said on CNBC a few hours ago that he doesn't care if his antics cost him money. Soros divested from this wildcard, and now the wildcard is hysterical that he is losing money?

And now Musk is spewing nonsense about Bellingcat. The guy is diving really deep into the dumpsters of the Internet to dig up this garbage, but then again - he is looking for confirmation of what he wants to believe in.

As the guy who has kids with female employees in the office outside of his relationships, I guess I know why he wants employees nearby, eh. Also - very RICH about the moral thing. The Edgelord who prides himself on spitting on rules and nor

Are you positive that the massages disappear from your device AND from the servers? These companies notoriously do not delete anything ever. I am sure that even the things they are required to delete by law are removed, compressed and stash

It's not "move fast and break things", he is just a horrible manager. Musk is a "big ideas guy", and he is good at pushing people to the breaking point to achieve those, but you have to keep him away from the import

Don't get attached to your code, ever. You are not building the Pyramids of Giza, no one will study your work 3000 years from now, or 15, for that matter. ALL of your code will be dead in a few years. The company goes under, or some pu

I support the right of businesses to make decisions of that kind, but I do not have to agree with them. As opposed to shrieking "bloody murder, the commies are coming for our tweets, are they going to shoot us next, we are being muzzle

I used it to write a cover letter. Saved me a whole day! I hate writing cover letters. And of course I had to read it to make sure I was not a COBOL expert.

Non-native speakers use ChatGPT to fix the grammar, for example, but you would have to actually read it and check it. If you are going to use ChatGPT for writing, you would have to hire an army of fact-checkers, because it can literally fak

The courts ruled that a bakery can deny a gay couple a cake. Trump was denied his gay cake. What is the problem? All that outrage and righteous indignation, and for what? to do a 180 and claim that "Twitter is just a cold-hearted busin

I don't think that saying vile and racist things is helping his business. The only motives he seems to be having are those of a 12-year-old craving constant attention.

GORDON BELL, ADAM! That was a great episode. The most amazing thing to me was how this guy was just messing around, a compression hobbyist, if you will - and then he is being courted by FAANG companies. He just walked into it, almost by acc

One way to run out of cash is to hire 50 expensive devs to build a microservices hairball with Kafkas and all the latest toys, as opposed to having 5 devs just knock it out, faster and better, with a single Python app and a Postgres databas
