Also, it’s surprising considering the author mentions having aggro with police in London. it’s certainly unfortunate that the Metropolitan police decided to racially profile him. However, statistically, more people die in police custody in

I’m not the OP but am “non-traditional” - didn’t do CS at university, worked in sales before moving to programming. I don’t want a separate funnel thank you very much. I know some companies will reject my CV because of my education - that’s

How are pandemics not “intrinsic factors in the economy”? We’ve lived through a dozen documented pandemics and can find records of ports and seaside trading hubs dealing with them. The etymology of the word quarantine is related to the amou

Unrelated to comp. I have seen several of your talks and I cannot wait to hear you speak at a rust conference of some kind. On that note, how involved will Oxide be in the rust foundation?

Other servers like clangd have documented extensions, but I see your point. I’m glad the protocol is discussed and developed in the open - I think it’s really helped the IDE story in other editors.

I tried to find the curriculum structure for this course to check if it involves any of the topics you brought up, but could not do it. If this course doesn't include relevant legal topics, do you know any other "programming for l

What strategies do you find most effective to understand what’s going on in the codebase then? How informative is git log/blame?

That sounds pretty cool. Do you get a choice of what kind of project you want to contribute to?

As i mentioned in another thread, a uni course that has students work on an existing codebase instead of writing something from scratch might be even better - though harder to grade. Imagine if one could do a major feature contribution to c

Andy Pavlo of the CMU DB fame echoed this in one of the intro video lectures to one of his courses. He said his contacts in the industry valued people, who can navigate a large codebase productively. Most uni courses seem to involve writing

I assumed "enormous attack surface" was referring to real systems, not toy examples. AFAIK, even C++ needs more than the std library to solve business problems in the domains I am familiar with. There are many ways to manage depen

I don’t understand why you are downvoted. Millions might, not necessarily though, be an overestimate, but I agree with the analysis in principle. Disclaimer: I’m an immigrant.
