   You can certainly judge GTA for that.

   Sounds like you have no test or staging environment! Just apply the changes against staging. Test everything is kosher. Then merge into master to apply to prod.

   I’ve seen lots of opinion here but no one has whipped out a spreadsheet and run some numbers.

   This is not the same thing though. The Dropbox trope is "we don't need this product, because the end-user could built it themselves using tech tools" The comment you replied to is "why quit your job, build an MVP"

   I’m just trying to imagine this world, thanks. It’s absurd enough without me absurdifying it further. Ok so what you are saying is any users whatsoever of EU based email providers can be subject to companies doing some scanning if they wish

   This would also include any non EU citizens communications with an EU citizen. Also you might be an EU citizen without realising (by descent)

   Yeah for some reason this explanation which should be simple just blows my mind. I’m probably too experienced in imperative languages. It took me a long time to grok plain old monads. And when you get those GHC compiler errors from heavily

    Free monads are hard to get your head around IMO. But there is any easier way. In Haskell just use a typeclass! The typeclass defines the “syntax” and your implementation of the class defines the “semantics” You can also do this in C# or Ty

    The advantage of good abstracting is you can unit test one layer and make it super solid, then build the next layer with less mental load. I am not advocating making “unnecessary” abstractions. I’m not even advocating abstracting from the g

    Psychologically different though. There is a known end time and work to do when normally at sea.

    This sounds like tacit knowledge. You have to experience it to learn. However a buddy or mentor would have been invaluable. Especially one who works elsewhere so there is no fear of reprisal (or talking behind someone’s back) when someone s

    The best code is the code that doesn’t need to be read at all. This takes a lot of skill in abstraction. For example code a “user data cache” with lots of user concerns and people will be reading that code a lot. Code a “generic cache” and

    I don't beat myself up. I had 3 offers. 2 for 18k and one for 17k for the government. The fact I had 3 offers but nothing before that for 6 months was probably an artifact of getting better at interviewing. The job I eventually got I w

    That's still sad though. It's like a prison.

    I thought it was bad, since most applied for jobs while studying (the big companies that come to the uni type of thing) and had jobs lined up. I decided not to disrupt my studies with this so waited until I graduated to look for work.

    Yeah America seems to have the nice combo of reasonably price places to live and high tech salaries. Since “remote, but US” is common I do t see why you can’t take your $150k and live off a quarter of that somewhere and save most!

    Oh yeah 2001! 6 months and dozens of applications to get a job offer. I would have done 100s of applications had their been that many to apply to. Low points was being rejected from a job maintaining access databases in a small town. Being

    Over all scales? 2km trip, 5km trip, 20km trip, 100km trip, from/to any destination (e.g. from my house to friends house).

    The mentioned scheme is kind of acquiring negative value assets with short term positive cash flow … without it actually being debt. Akin to the programmers “technical debt”

    Selling my car to live in London for a bit was a welcome relief! The downside is mile for mile it takes longer to get somewhere on public transport even in London where the services are regular enough you tend not to plan a trip.

    Not sure about the US but normally your property taxes are linked to the property value or land value (I guess as an estimate of both how much you can afford and how much services you’ll use). This seems more progressive than saying “well y

    Another way is to have a concept of the “start” of a branch. If when you create a branch it remembers where it started from then the commits on the branch after that point form a natural commit group. If you need finer commit groups you can
