I always try to design for current requirements. When requirements change I refactor if necessary. I don't try to predict future requirements but if I know them in advance I'll design for them where necessary. I try to design the

It's actually not always trivial, that was one of the complaints I had about C# when I started. You import namespaces not classes, so it's difficult to see which namespace a class is from, and even if you know which namespace it&#

I personally don't actually see it as a project management issue so much as a developer issue. Maybe I'm lucky but in the projects I've worked, a project manager generally doesn't get involved in how I do my job. Maybe a

I'm not convinced that this argument holds at all. Writing good code doesn't take much more time than writing crap code, it might not take any more time at all when you account for debugging and such. It might be flat out faster.

I would assume it has to do with the next word. You wouldn't say "a occasion", you say "an occasion" so then it's natural to say "an historical occasion" as well. Not arguing correctness, just intuiti

You're probably not going to achieve that with the kind of optimization described in this article though.

Sure you're allowed to feel that way, I just think it's ridiculous to phrase it the way you did above. I'm sure a lot of people have issues with some of their coworkers, but hating all of them across multiple jobs is insane

After looking up the term "FPGA" I realize that my question was a bit silly. Makes sense, thanks for elaborating

You think every single one of your coworkers "cause you pain and stress during code reviews"? Yeah man, the problem is 100% you. That's a crazy thing to say. Have you ever seen a therapist? And how in the world do you expect

Out of curiosity - why do you care? Do you want to run this thing on a calculator from the 90s or something like that?

Thanks for the response! You pretty much just described exactly how it works in the organization I work for, as an outside contractor. But PIM has a max duration of 8 hours and does not require additional authentication like yubikey, it doe

Honestly I don't care. I wouldn't sit through a 30 second ad to earn a cent, and i definitely am not doing it so that someone else can earn a cent. As long as I can use youtube for free with an ad blocker (and sponsorblock, amazin

I always find these conversations strange. If you offer content for free I'm not going to pay for it. I don't tip, I don't buy micro transactions in games, I don't pay for discord nitro or buy "collector's edit

I don't understand the point of PIM. If some malicious actor has my token or controls my PC then what's stopping them from PIMing? Seems to me like it wastes my time more than anything else.

The real problem is our entire industry is a giant clusterfuck. Do a 2-week bootcamp, congratulations now you're a software engineer. Every other discipline has education requirements, codified standards for how to do things etc.

C# is my daily driver and I'd use it for almost anything, great language. However I think "slight complexity cost" is an understatement. It's a very complex language by my standards, and they keep adding more stuff. A lo

The difference between an arraylist with correct initial size and an array is almost nothing. Arraylist itself is just a wrapper around an array.

I've never really done much leetcode. Might have done a problem here and there for fun but probably less than 10 total. I'm not sure whether people literally mean leetcode when they say leetcode, but I should probably clarify that

That depends entirely on the problem they ask you to solve. All the technical interviews I've done have been completely reasonable basic programming tasks. Yet I always get really good feedback, did one a few weeks ago where the interv

I don't know how it is elsewhere, but where I grew up we had minimum word limits on pretty much all essays. Doesn't matter if you can say what you want to say in 6 sentences, you need 4000 words or 2 pages or whatever metric they

I'm not saying they're not smart, I'm saying it takes more than just a smart man. If Einstein was born in Africa to a family barely scraping by, and never got an education do you think he'd have come up with his theory o

I think the bar has been raised. As science has progressed and evolved, all the "low hanging fruit" has been picked. As an example, take Dijkstra's algorithm. It's far from the only thing that he is known for and I am by

In my language we have a saying that roughly translates to "Don't sell the hide until you've shot the bear". And sure, there have probably been lots of examples where a business made promises they weren't confident

I don't disagree with you on that, but the reason I said mud hut is because I was taking the off grid thing very literally - you don't have an axe to build a log cabin. I imagine a motivated individual could find some remote place

Not really. It's just that people don't realize how much they rely on modern society. You could go all Primitive Technology and go live in a mud hut somewhere or whatever, nobody's forcing you to buy toothpaste and electricit

Kind of sounds like they accidentally had a big dose of shrooms or something like that.

Most people don't know what depression is. I'd say I've been depressed most of my life but the best periods have been the ones where I was physically active. Now, there's a bit of a chicken and egg problem here -am I sed

The thing with a $500k watch is it keeps its value. It might even increase in value. So it's not a frivolous waste of money, you can get most of it back unless you break or lose it.

I'm not much of a functional programmer either, but generally in the beginning you'll feel this way because you're not used to thinking about problems in a functional way. You're used to solving problems with imperative
