How about this: Code can add value when it's a lot lower quality than we think it needs to be. Customers will pay for even a crappy solution if you are addressing the right problem. Don't over engineer. But also employ staff for t

This is unreasonably rosy. Acidification of the ocean and ecological breakdown from overly rapid environmental change appears likely to cause a catastrophic failure of the food chain. Rapid change is necessary. The status quo is not OK.

The last 3 technical roles I've been in over the last 8 years or so used realistic technical tasks for the technical tests. It was grounded in actually making something useful work. Intensive CPU/memory optimization is usually the

Getting asked to do any kind of fancy datastructure algorithm from memory would put me off your company. It has very little correlation with any real-world task. I'm very experienced and get a lot of shit done with high-load systems re

The energy we use starts out as kinetic (wind, water), or heat (solar, thermal), or chemical, etc. We then use and it get it to do work, which in most cases converts much of it back into kinetic energy, and where there is inefficiency, heat

While I was reading this post, I found the bright background was straining my eyes, so I turned on my dark-mode browser plugin, and then I found I could continue reading more comfortably.

The best of agile can be summed up in one piece of advice: "Create short feedback loops". Nail that and you can't go too far wrong.

Even in your ideal experimental scenario, the laws of probability state that before the 10,000,000,000th such study is completed, we will see a case where the findings turn out to be incorrect. We learn by experience, and we build weighting

Something working with neural networks has helped me to come to terms with is that we are probabilistic creatures, and even things we call facts are things we simply feel very confident about. Science itself is a process of increasing confi

You'd be a fool NOT to spend them. Spending them helps to improve their value by growing the ecosystem. Spend and replace.

Sure, but it's a hyper-idealism which rejects the absolutely the idea of allowing a non-inclusive worldview of an individual to rule. Judeo-Christian is the author's specific worldview, but that's incidental to the stance.

I believe that free will is possible. Our conceptions of existence are limited by our perspective; that of a causative (and, OK, possibly random) reality, but it's possible that our wills are interfaced with super-dimensional spirits (

Thank you for honestly sharing your perspective. Unfortunately a fear-based approach reliably creates what it fears. If the proponents of a culture want others to do adopt their culture, they may do so by inspiring others through their comp
