Now, for the fun part, imagine you have to integrate a third-party cpp library, with an API like "auto fooBar()".

Title might be true, but the analysis is really flawed. Why would you have to search for "Google Plus" on Google when you have a direct link in every google app. It does not make sense.

I am not sure that battery production could scale up to 50 millions vehicle produced each year, without mentioning we will also need to replace a significant part of the installed base regularly. We can however hope that self driving car wo

You are likely not paid by your company to write lines of code, but rather to solve problems, and thus create value. Using a standard library rather that rewriting you own solution is just sound business. You need to Google a topic before s

I recently followed "Learning how to learn" on Coursera, and they mentioned two main mode of operation of the brain: focused and diffuse mode. In the first mode, you are obviously focused, but it does not allow you to use part of

Everything is simple and beautiful if you are already embedded in the ecosystem/walled garden. If you are an outsider, it is another matter... Isn't it more or less the goal of every tech giant ?

How long have you been there ? If you are at a new place, and you don't have a clear view of the overall architecture, which parts are in good shape, which are not, etc, it is natural to be less confident in proposing a solution, parti

I know nothing about mobile development, but I am surprised that 26% of app are considered C/C++ (and it does not include Objective-C). Is it only referring to game engine like Unity ?

All waking hours are not that fungible, 20 minutes at $150/hour are likely more intense, focused or mentally demanding, than putting trashes in the bin. (Unless your roommate is a garbage collector!) I used to regret the time I have sp

This is a bit of a cliché but I wonder if there are some cultural differences at play there. Like the hectic and chaotic pace for a Swede, would be business as usual for a Portuguese. This is likely not the root cause, but it probably did n

On a more optimistic note, from an employer point of view, I would prefer if you had made some mistakes in the past on your own funds, and hopefully, learned a good lesson in the process, and would not reproduce them with the company money.
