Yeah, but to be fair, there is only so much you can learn while entering the market, so you only have the bandwidth to grok one language and framework. Companies that look for talented and true language-agnostic quick learners tone down the

Be careful about becoming an expert. Maybe being "good enough" is a better investment of your time. I once wrote a business-facing app in ExtJS. I played around with it, and I said, "ExtJS is cool, I am going to get good at i

I will bet that a Linux kernel maintainer is a more capable coder than someone stitching together web apps with Rails. Besides, something like language and kernel design is computer science , not day-to-day software development that most o

If you become a "language zealot", you are really not helping yourself as a software engineer. The day I get referred to myself as "that Node developer" or "that Python guy", I will consider my career to have t

I've used both - with having to use CF to create a particularly gnarly and sprawling environment. I constantly ran into limitations hidden behind cryptic or unrelated error messages. It was infuriating. Terraform syntax is definitely n

Here is all the madness in a short Twitter thread: https://twitter.com/SketchesbyBoze/status/140015018819540172... "It has never been filmed. It can never be filmed. It is unfilmable."

I don’t know, the yachts that have their own yachts look kind of cool. Oh, wait, Bezos is building one for half a bil. Never mind.

If you can’t pay a living wage to your employees, you are either a bad business owner or simply don’t have a viable business. You can’t clamor for the ruthless efficiency of Capitalism and then complain that you are its victim.

It's very hard to be an effective hustler. It takes a very special mindset. Just finished Billion Dollar Loser about WeWork, and one extreme hustler that stuck in my head was Masayoshi Son (Masa). Have you ever seen any of his "30

In the least - your repo should be the main gateway to a proper WIKI. The problem with decoupled documentation is that it's the proverbial tree in a forest - no one knows it's there when it "drops". Docs are like code

15% is a more reasonable minimum tax rate if there is a guarantee this is a loophole-proof, concrete floor rate. 28% would probably never fly without loopholes that would bring the effective rate to 15% anyway.

Isn't this more about epigenetics? Your environment does control how the future generations evolve. What fascinates me is how living things can practically "will" a gene mutation that would help the offsprings adapt to a chan

That's all moot once you decide to do micro-services and your team has to explode by 10x, while completing the same work or less.

No, it will only get worse. The world is diverging into a dystopian future where we will have essentially two classes - the tech elite (software, product, QA, automation, AI, data) and the people who live on basic income because the jobs go

The problem with Scala is that it's a huge language and it gives you a lot of ways to misbehave. It is the same exact problem that C++ has - too many people turn it into an intellectual exercise and a dick-measuring contest of who can

Sure, but they are up against state-sponsored, highly trained actors, and that's not a fair fight. This requires the resources of the US Government as their bodyguard.

That's just an example. Most of the ingredients that I buy without meal kits usually just go bad, there is no saving money justification there, especially in NYC where groceries are more expensive.

Commute is not that bad - in moderation. For me, commute is about getting out of the house, moving around, waking up, and getting in the zone. But it gets old after 30 minutes. My previous job was door to door for me in 20-25 minutes. I cou

I am a huge proponent of Blue Apron (or a similar service). Have been a customer for 7 years now. It cuts down on grocery waste (do I NEED 1 liter of sherry vinegar to cook one thing?), and you pick up a ton of techniques that may not be ch

The biggest injustice in life is that when you are young, food is just fuel to get through the day. You can eat all of it and you don't care if it's good. When you get older, you start to understand food, and you are willing to

Correct. Because the whole system is filled with anti-incentives. You can't attract money by demonstrating that you can be frugal. It's absurd.

I believe the water should be just below boiling. I tested it with a thermometer and it seems to settle at the right temperature in a few seconds after boiling, if I open the electric kettle and let it vent.

I did not feel like I was spending much less money in Copenhagen than I did in NYC. Can't say I was excited to pay $8 for a beer again.
