I would say my most practical experience with increasing situational awareness came from getting into competitive Magic the Gathering. Misreading a card or a line of play = loss many times; it is very easy to miss a key variable on the boar

That's part of being uncensored. Small price to pay, IMO

Ya think... I can't understand those who think we are on a sustainable trajectory or (even worse in some ways) the "we'll keep trying lockdowns until we get it 'right'" camp. It's not working, adjust.

This seems logical, but I've yet to experience a software shop of any complexity where you can just plug people in and out with this mercenary approach. A year or two is when I notice people actually start adding significant value, and

I've felt this way for a while, that we're just spinning our wheels. UIs/lipstick gets prettier, but there is little out there we couldn't of had 10-20 years ago. Ergonomics of software development have made great stride

Everyone who is answering in the negative here, no matter how sincere and what efforts they are making to discuss this rationally is getting downvoted. A. Why? Can we not act like this? B. Off topic, but whoever thought the downvote button

If the code was initially a net positive (i.e. provided a feature users wanted/needed, etc.), then in a way, yes. It might be bad in the abstract in the way patching something with bubblegum is, but if it works at the time--it works. I

Fine, porn or gore or profanity, list of slurs. If you want to begin curating other nebulous concepts like "hate speech" at scale, it should be explicitly defined and you should held to being clear when you are acting upon violati

When, I don't know, +90% of public discourse is flowing through a handful of platforms, and they are cutting out what they don't like, teasing out what they do like a gardener sculpting shrubbery to present some customized, skewed

I find it disturbing that a post like this gets downvoted. You've said nothing off-the-wall here. A downvote is not a rebuttal or an unceremonious verdict on the validity of your thoughts. Seriously not a fan of downvotes for this reas

The Waste Land might be the most pretentious thing I've ever read. It just oozes self-importance. I've never seen any work that could be described as great that has an overt peacocking quality to it.

What? Not without extra pay, that's for damn sure...not just "some" companies. That's ridiculous. I got overtime when I worked retail for crying out loud...

A part of me feels bad sometimes cause I doubt I'm good enough for some FAANG company...then I read stuff like this and I think, yah, ability or no, I don't think I'm type of person who would want to partake in this culture.

So, I looked at the article they are refuting (or one of them?) and expected a bunch of superficial criticism as suggested in this refutation, but it does not look to me at all that "superficial" criticism is being defended agains

Yah, I have to say material like this getting any attention really accentuates the feeling I get that we're scraping the bottom of the barrel for how to improve in software. It seems like we're more and more focused on the (relati

As an experiment, you should let one rip at an opportune moment. Should be enlightening whether they carry on as if this is indeed normal or try to gaslight you about your strange behavior...

I get what you are saying, and on a certain practical level you are right, you can't be that guy who never moved past COBOL...but I think it needs to be super clear that you can accept the churn (as necessary) but you sure as hell do
