The title brought memories in me about two quite uncomfortable dystopian short stories by Philip Dick: Second Variety and Autofac.

It can be a problem if you care about schema compatibility for your events - and I would care about it in a multi-team microservices setup. Your database schema essentially becomes a contract, your service is not a "black box" any

O’Reilly Building Event-Driven Microservices is a solid book to continue. I would not recommend Architecture Patterns with Python. Some patterns there are questionable and introduce more complexity. Also, they talk about using Kafka and Ser

I think we are on the same page that communications are a two-way street. There must be mutual desire to listen carefully and to speak clearly. My comment above focuses on what the stoics advised to focus on - the things one is in control o

I believe this label is less likely to apply to an older programmer if instead of grumbling they were willing or able to clearly communicate problems and consequences of “new” solutions. They would be labeled “old wizards” instead :)

On the one hand, Emacs is a very flexible platform powered by Lisp. Users can change and extend it to their needs, make smaller adjustments on the fly. That’s the source of its attractiveness and longevity. On the other hand, it seems to lo

Thank you for sharing the calculator. I see there are many external parameters to consider, and variety between people and health status adds to the compexity. I think it renders the approach to calculate sun expose time unreliable and, pro

Our skin needs a moderate exposure to the sun, like 3-4 times a week for 15 minutes in summertime.

To me “a conspiracy theorist” is a person with a specific mindset: they dedicate their time to learning about and sharing conspiracy theories - usually they believe in several ones - with an unconscious intention not to find real answers, b

That is a lot for Germany, can I ask what companies are they work at specifically?

I believe your comments provided a good insight into your approach to programming. I may be wrong in my understanding, but let me elaborate. You expect your programming language to be a continuation of your thoughts, it should be flexible a

There can be vast difference in the work of two engineers with the same “Java - very good” in their CVs.

I would say Solaris is as much about dealing with regrets, a dull pain from deep wounds that follows us through our lives as it is about the things you mentioned. I read it more than ten years ago, but still remember the emotional experien

You are spreading disinformation here, maybe, unintentionally. I lived for 25 years in Belarus and have a lot of connections in Belarus. These days Lukashenko is very unpopular in the country. He falsified elections, his people committed a

It is a great book. Unfortunately, here in Germany it is hard to apply due to generic lack of demand in high level software consulting.

When you start a family you can move to a different part of Berlin - quieter, safer, greener, family-friendly. This is what I did, so did some families I know. We moved from Prenzlauer Berg to Biesdorf. Our friends moved to Zehlendorf. No m

It can go beyond hiring developers - companies may need help with deciding on initial MVP, organising development process, and regularly checking for a while if things go well.

You can invite an experienced contractor that can help you with bootstrapping development: deciding on MVP tech stack, hiring, and making sure the new team can deliver proper work. Sure, you need someone to refer a good contractor to you fi

Get an advanced degree only if you want to do it, or it clearly benefits you - say, migration to some country. You are not limited anymore by paper in your carrier progression within IT industry after your first job - your achievements will

I think it varies a lot between the countries. You can the difference even within German-speaking area. Recognition and the salaries (not sure about respect) are growing in Berlin and other large cities across Germany, but I heard that in A

Does Scala have a chance to regain popularity? It was my main language for 5 years, and there was always a variety of Scala jobs in Berlin: companies of different industries, sizes. Recently, I mainly used Python at work. I love Scala and w

What makes UK more attractive option over Germany? Language, existing communities (say, for Indians)? I may have a wrong impression, but outside of London, the salaries are not that good, and living in London may kill any gaps in salaries.

I guess US fire-at-will system should make contracting even more attractive option for good engineers: you do not get any social protection from being fired at any time unlike say Germany. One solid benefit less to justify pay difference. I
