This is a false dichotomy. If you log things you don't need brilliant engineers spending countless hours on a logging infrastructure. All you need to do is log things to local disk, and delete some when you start to run out of space.

Yeah, I loved Everquest. But it was a different time. I was in college, had no job, had no wife, had no kid, and had no social life. I had the time to spend most of my waking hours in the game. Edit: actually, it sort of was my social li

Off the top of my head, there are two reasons people seem to de-duplicate code. One is because two or more things happen to share similar code. Another reason is because two or more things must share similar code. It seems like you ar

Some of the funnest jobs are when you delete lots of code.

The funny thing being, most of the best "software engineers" are people without software engineering degrees. Because the practice has existed longer than the degree has.

There is a huge difference. On the internet, by default, you are international. Brick and mortar stores, by default, are only local. We have a website that sells stuff. It is "not available" in Europe. We do not ship to Europe.

I took the original Ford quotes regarding Apple/Tesla a bit differently. People keep these things for up to 30 years. I haven't had a car I kept for less than 10 years, and the average is over 10. There is a huge support network

I lived in SF for 6 years before moving to LA, and before then was born and raised in Silicon Valley. I have never been to these events, nor have any close friends. Of course, most of my close friends were also born in Silicon Valley - ma

The math behind the public markets being able to absorb all the unicorns at their current valuations does seem a bit suspect: http://fortune.com/2015/10/16/unicorns-ipo-market/

Well, if someone picks fights over logically best answers for stuff that doesn't matter that much then I wouldn't consider them as logical as they think.

I'm not sure what the recommended alternative to this scenario would be based upon your comment: I like to check invariants at certain points in my code. Them not being correct is an obvious bug. I would prefer to fail in the most ob

You're putting a lot of words in my mouth here. That said: When people serve their time we let them out of prison. But it also doesn't mean people may not still be afraid of them because of what they've done in the past. Y

Privacy is important because people are assholes. My wife has an ex-boyfriend who went to prison. She was pretty terrified when there was an internet trail to our current home address (which I have since closed). Largely because of our Ma

And the IT industry is a rather small part of the overall job market. So therefore any discussion about the workplace that ignores everything that isn't IT is virtually useless?

I feel like their original quote doesn't support the rest of the article: > it’s time to turn back to old documents to figure out the logic behind some of the engineering decisions. Dodd says it’s easy to find the engineering decis

It illustrates that there is a sweet spot. It does not illustrate the sweet spot. Which makes sense because it likely varies based upon the economy & tax laws of this and other countries. The article you linked quotes anywhere from 2

Ultimately the problem seems to be preferred shares driving the valuation of common shares. They obviously aren't the same, so I don't know why it happens. I'm not a lawyer so I don't know if there's a way around

This is a pretty narrow view of things. I had a couple decades worth of negative "earnings per share" before graduating from college and getting a job.

Not all landlords are the same. I have a friend who rents a place in Venice and the landlord told them they could airbnb the in-law addition if they had no use for it. Presumably the person on the lease is on the hook for any damages anyw

I strongly disagree. Companies have abused contractor status for a long time. This is simply more of the same - another company wishing to have their cake and eat it too. It ultimately lets them pay at least some of their employees under

Most of this is fixable by driving YAGNI into their heads. Beyond that, I would claim that most people startups look for (recent graduates) have no ability to understand the reason behind popular opinions. Because they don't have the

If the point of storing them is to search for credit card matches, I don't see how you could salt them in any useful way. Beyond that, most things display first four & last four, so you can probably assume they have that too.

I prefer to put consequences in terms of money. That said, on the flip side, because of things like "Dual Control" the PCI DSS is physically impossible for some small companies to abide by. In the past we dealt with credit cards
