That's a strawman.

That's like the simple solution for depression: think happy thoughts. Addiction rewires your brain so that simply stopping is a very heavy lift. Not impossible, but relapses are common and there's usually drama, AA or no.

That's only true on the folk-religion side of things. I can't speak to other faiths, but serious Christian thought has always engaged with doubt.

Sure. Used to be, that's how it was done. Some things sucked about it, others were easier. For example, not much in the way of versioning problems. On the other hand, if somebody broke the release, nobody's new feature made it liv

> In the microservice world, you have only one microservice which went down, so most teams don't have to worry.. My experience has been that one service going down (or even running slowly) can lead to cascading failures where identi

Arguably, we did. In large codebases worked on by multiple teams it's not unusual to see teams drilling holes in OO walls because they "just want to get their work done" and view the abstractions as barriers. Taken along with

A lot of the stereotypes around AS are just that. I have two sons on the spectrum and both have traits they are "not supposed" to have and yet strongly evidence other traits so that the diagnosis is clear. In my experience this is

I think todos and tickets have separate use cases. I use todos as short term work trackers. I put them in as I'm writing new code, then usually complete them before I check in, certainly before I merge my branch. Sometimes they slip pa

That was pretty much how I was. Played a little in middle school, but picked up an obsession with RPGs. I'd buy pretty much any RPG I could get my hands on and read through the rules, roll up characters, think about a campaign, but do

State's rights have been an issue since before the signing of the constitution, as can be seen by how long it took to get all the states on board. Many were reluctant to cede that much power. It was only in the early 19th century that

I hate this framing. It's not a matter of people denying that science is real, but a question of not trusting scientists. There are a lot of reasons for that, some of them good (e.g. people cloaking their agendas in pseudo-science or m

I'm in my 50s and haven't seen it in that overt form. Maybe a silicon valley thing? I've only worked on the east coast. On the other hand, I have missed out on jobs because of culture fit concerns that have an age component:

LSP support exists for many editors so you are not tied to a specific IDE. It can catch other programmers mistakes if you run it against their code. It doesn't turn Python into a statically typed language, but it's a lot better th

Have you looked at the tools recently? LSP + Pyright is very fast and plugins exist for many editors. Or maybe it's slow on larger codebases or very large files? I don't have that broad an experience yet, but so far it's been

I just started using type hinting in Python and I love it. Maybe it's your tooling? I'm using neovim with LSP and pyright and the experience is very much like writing code in a Java IDE. As I code, it informs me where there are mi

You're going to have to do some work to establish that. It's pretty clear from the historical record and from ancient literature that greed predates capitalism by millennia. You could argue that capitalism makes it worse, but I do

Were you around for the buildup to the second gulf war? The rhetoric against Saddam Hussein was not terribly different in tone than that against Putin. People were similarly outraged and many people wanted us to invade because of all the aw
