Oh nice! Great argument! But correlation does not imply causation. When you are talking about feared solders, you are most definitely talking about a war. Wars are about the assertion, or defense of the right to power (mostly done/trig

Feedback loop is extremely important, especially when the product is young. To grow, you need to learn and perfect your abilities same applies to software and companies. I did not leave that comment out of malice, I shared an important mark

> things like nation states or big economic interests or religions exist because of death anxiety Interesting, it makes sense on the surface but not if you dig dipper. I doubt that this fear has ANY impact on nation states or big economi

Interesting, "Terror management theory" is not what i expected it to be. Probably influenced by the modern history and current dynamics, I didn't expect it to be about evolutionary psychology or death-related cognitions, I ex

Not too long (~9years), and getting used to the absence of passion. Unfortunately. I disagree that passion (if you have one) fades in this industry. There is so much going on! All the time! It touches every domain you can think of! Passion

What else is new? Religion is the most conservative institution ever created. It does not adapt (well, almost..) it doesn't change (also, almost..) and it's no wonder that with developments in science and culture, religion doesn&#

Like really? You are optimizing your product for (google's spyware) chrome? You are part of the problem. "some issues in some browsers" - shouldn't fly in 2019, IE6 is gone!

It's a healthy competition. Nothing wrong with that. If it's possible to get a product with the same functionality but for half of the price, why not? It will make iRobot Corp. even better (long term)! Not sure about price cuts bu

1. Redundancy is not necessarily bad. Just learn to recognize the balance (that’s where seniority comes in) 2. LOC is a pretty outdated measure of productivity (forget about estimations of deliverability). It’s fun to watch tge stats but in

That could be a great and passionate discussion over a beer with snacks and pizza. But since we are far removed (on the "internet") I'll just say that socialists tendencies are extremely destructive long term in complex econo

Ah right, great fallacy! Great argument! Love when people throw Denmark, with population of 5M, under the bus while having not a slightest idea of what's actually going on. And why bother researching. Good old bernie sanders already sa

You change jobs. That's it. Even though you might think it's a simple approach, no, it's not. It takes guts. And on the positive side, you also get a chance to show off, demonstrate your true abilities. It's a gig econom

"free movement" - false. Why did people stay in Detroit when it was down? Moving is not as easy as it seems. Only very few have courage to leave their nest. But that's a whole different story. In Russia, besides the fact tha

The best war is the war that can be won without a single fight, without a single battle. A great accomplishment with no waste of resources. The Art of War by Sun Tzu is quite a read. Did you read it? Well.. your enemies are reading it.

There was a thread about how to write zero maintenance apps, feels related. Isolated, stuck in time envs are a must. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21192885

Second this. It's a major security update that allows you to re-evaluate and more precisely manage access rights that your existing apps have. Not sure what "super user" author is really sad about. No one is keeping him from

also FYI, with zero maintenance requirement Agile approach will not work. Throw anything agile out of the door, you need a strict top to bottom waterfall with set requirements. Another argument that Agile can not be a hammer for every nail.

What applications? A bit more specifics? Apps can not be zero maintenance by definition. Apps are literally alive, apps mature, evolve, get older, there will always be some kind of maintenance. As world changes, apps change with it. If ZERO

You are ok with your job but there is no passion. That’s what I’m talking about. You don’t have to have a side project. Passion is so rare these days, isn’t it?

ugh i hate GUIs, for me those are a middle man. With cli, i can "feel" git. with GUI i'm just telling a 3rd party to talk with git for me. That 3rd party can also screw up some communication, just like in telephone game.

Ah all these comments. I pity those who are in this industry only for money :( It sounds so miserable not to get any joy from your profession . What side project can we talk about if you can't wait to get out of the office, to run away
