Wikipedia ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_review ) says: "Empirical studies provide evidence that up to 75% of code review defects affect software evolvability/maintainability rather than functionality, su

LOL! I have, and would, do exactly that to avoid the slippery slope of falling into "management."

Maybe because you're in an office and don't want everyone talking? Or maybe you're on the bus and don't want everyone overhearing what you're doing? Or, for that matter, think about if you had to say out loud ever

"We should be making AI a copilot—not the autopilot—for learning." Doesn't work. A friend has been a teacher, at a not cheap private school, for going on 25+ years now. What she sees at almost every level is an avalanche of

Well, I'll throw one my customer's ideas out there. "Only validate their age if they're under 16." Originally, "Only require a middle name when they have one."

Just wait for the "Coke, Steak, and Strippers" addendum. The C-levels need that for when they go party with Boeing. Intel made ~55 billion last year. Maybe they don't really need corporate welfare.

I assume that means, "The obvious solution is to increase property tax on rental properties to force the hand of landlords. Otherwise you're taxing the potential and new home-owners who might be on the edge of being able to affo

"When people say I changed the culture of Boeing, that was the intent, so that it’s run like a business rather than a great engineering firm." Yes, because I'd rather fly in a plane made by a "business" rather than

I, and my family, are now literally asking on every single thing, "Is that covered by my insurance? Will I be billed extra for that?" Like, over and over. Stupid system, stupid questions. At a recent minor surgery I must have

Based on the message of the video I would have to guess that the video was created by folks working at home. They might have wanted to get the video done in office for better results. ;^) Sarcasm aside, capitalism at work, really nothing

They should feel good, because their capitalist machine has done just what it has aspired to do - get people to spend money they don't have: https://apnews.com/article/spending-consumers-inflation-econ... That&#x2

I'll go one further. The uncomfortable fixation on attractive women for the models is only an inkling of what is to be the primary application of such technology which will be porn. No matter how amazing that tech underlying these

Oh god, you're making my PTSD kick in. What this will all lead to? Clients going in making UI that appears to work fine and then asking developers to wire it in to the greater eco-system that will necessarily surround it, telling you

That's nice, can it work out of web browser to actually make something usable?

I take issue with #3. The clean code is for you . Future you. You will be substantially more productive if your code is clean. You will end up being the "rockstar" (groan) because you can implement 2, 3, 5, 10(!) times faster

Actions speak louder than words - Apple is letting it's developers know what it thinks of them. You're going to have to raise quite the ruckus to get them to change their behavior. There's really no impetus for them to chan

"authenticity", "attention economy", "engagement"... This is just stirring the turds around in the cesspool. Deadbird is a net negative in the world, run by sociopath, and has no redeeming value, is actively

Oh what? Pot meet kettle. Pretending to not be in it for the dough is ingenuous. They don't pay artists well and they have a near monopoly hold on music streaming such that they have no impetus to fix their abysmal software. Just

Completely anecdotal but curious. When my wife and I had children, our respective parents, two very different families (one progressive professional urbanites, the other conservative rural farmers) were both unusually insistent that our bab

I don't actually work in the design part of the company, just occasionally implementing UX designs, but I've frequently been in the client meetings, and the point you make here cannot be overstated. This is the prime motivator of

Yes, you're quite right. I can go electric in a few years when the ranges are better.

Well said. I live in Ashland, OR, and we get 100+ in the summer and pretty darn cold and snowy in the winter.

It is? It sure seems like the handles of the pumps end up smelling like gas. Maybe where you live it's better, but when I've driven elsewhere this was most certainly the case. Or maybe my sense of smell is too sensitive. ;^) A

Well that fucking sucks. Now I have to get out of my car, in the sweltering heat or bitter cold, stand there while it fills, or get in and back out, and have my hand smell like gas until I can find a sink to wash, which sure as Hell isn&#x

What I want is to write less code. I'd like automated analysis help with finding better more concise ways to render the logic. More code != better.
