I agree but I wouldn’t restrict the recommendation to just if you use python or ruby but if you want to use or understand any language in an OO fashion.

This is silly beyond belief. 18miles? Easily done in 6-8 hours. Sticking to the dumb managed schedule vs hanging out with the locals?! What a fool. What a dumb trade of potential experience. What story would his grandkids want to hear? “Dad

The quickest ~$40k I ever made was by introducing 5s of awkward silence during a salary negotiation. It felt like 5 minutes though.

No it is fear I’ll be on the operating table with a surgeon who has been trained to think that if he botches something there is a do over.

Even if that were true, that half would still mop the floor intellectually with the type of fool that would write a statement like the one above.

Where in CO? I have always heard the schools were pretty good, especially BVSD, Poudre Valley etc. and some in Denver, Cherry Creek etc.

Sure, but I feel the quote still stands. The hard reality is high school is more representative of life than we would like to believe. If everyone likes you, you probably don’t get laid off or fired, can still happen though (the other half

Or more more accurately, their stated intent is to scan for anything any government deems illegal in any country where they operate. Also who is reviewing this known child pornography list? Hopefully nobody because it is Child pornography b

I guess if you redefine what programming is you can say that. It is literally just finding efficient and maintainable ways to shuffle 0s and 1s so a computer does something a user wants it to do. Thats it. Now there are good ways to do that

Honestly, I prefer to work with people who are in it long term for the money. Much more rational, much more pragmatic, much less bike shedding and holy wars, much higher degree of professionalism. “How do we ship things that make us rich” v

I mean sure but the track record of American Tech Companies speaks for itself. Wanna know what the truly passionate programmer does? Ship things that make money. If they don’t they are a hobbyist not a professional because it isn’t a profes

Honestly it is not too different than working at a small product shop or consultancy. Except: - typically less stress and fewer hours since everyone you work with is much more competent on average (def still have some dumb dumbs or the occ

I am sorry but there is no way that that lack luster product is half as addictive as porn let alone opiods. All of our first hand experiences disprove the narrative. Anyone here helplessly addicted? Sure a couple people might have issues bu

When I did it in 2016 I wrote a small script to undo every activity I had ever done. Then I deleted it. Also changed the password to a max length so it was impossible to login for the 30days.

Jobs started their own chip division to bring it in house shortly after his return despite knowing that bet wouldnt pay off for 5-10yrs and despite needing to resuscitate a dying company in the short term. He started the process that lead t

Glad it is improving but I don’t see how “many Hindus are not” is false? Also blaming pretty much everything bad on colonialism is a pretty tired excuse.

by pcmoney 5y ago
Taking the parts you like from something and leaving the parts you do not is not cultural appropriation. Any culture can redefine anything they want from other cultures. Just like most western yoga studios are LGBTQ friendly and many Hindus

Overall like the 15 minute focus but feel it is best achieved organically. Planned cities rarely work and they almost always feel weird. Look at Brasilia for example. I dont see the desert aspect, with what water?

I dont think that held in the examples or a lot of what I have seen in practice once comments become the norm. Most classes should not need a comment in them at all. Most methods should be self-explanatory. A comment detailing every line of

Exactly, I dont want to have to go in and refactor a bloated class into 4 classes and then have to go refactor the short story they wrote about it.

by pcmoney 5y ago
Comments are not inherently bad but they do have inherent short comings. Still a useful tool but one that should be reached for rarely and last.

I guess aside from assembly and very low level or highly specified languages aren’t programming languages as well?

by pcmoney 5y ago
Personally I found most of those examples to be not great. I think they would be improved better names overall, more well named private methods and most importantly well structured companion test classes proving the behavior. I really dont

Why would that be? I have worked at both.

Also FAANG doesn’t pay the highest, top 10% maybe. IIRC google explicitly targets 80th percentile. Unicorns, Jane, HRT, all pay more typically.

I would politely say that that just means it is harder to get things done so you accomplish less and by definition “get less things done” at a BigTechCo Navigating a bureaucracy is a skill. And doing so can help get things done but in and o

Having worked at both I can say this with a high degree of certainty from my experience. Even if you have a dedicated Sr at a BigTechCo it is just a much bigger boat to move. Also I have seen people promo at FAANG for projects that would be
