Honestly it sounds like you agree with me. My position isn't that open offices are great for everyone; it's that people who don't like open offices should look for work that doesn't require coming into an open office ins

So why make the decision to work for a company with an open office? Why not apply to work for a remote-only company with a proper remote-only culture?

If you're an engineer and you think the way you make money is by writing code, and there's no need to leave your house to write code, why aren't you working for yourself? Serious question. Software engineering is fundamental

If you have humans in the loop, they're going to make mistakes. Pharmacists and doctors also have bad days and forget things. People are their own best advocates and caretakers. If there's a database with contraindicators, make it

In this particular case, the wildcards all intentionally resolved to the same address, regardless of whether or not they were already taken. Business logic was handled by looking at the Host header.

What, I'm not allowed to be an engineer who also has an MBA? I switched majors from Computer Science to Computer Engineering because engineering was about dealing with real-world constraints so that we could make an actual difference i

Reality is a bit more complex than the ivory tower. Real-world ethics is about balancing competing interests, not using ethical concerns as a bludgeon to never deal with messy compromises.

The problem is that infrastructure doesn't scale nearly as quickly as birth rates, let alone immigration. Cities are getting overcrowded, and many, many attempts by many different countries have proven the difficulty of bootstrapping n

As an engineer who cares deeply about quality as an ethical imperative - save it for your hobby projects. There's no such thing as 100% quality in engineering. Never has been, never will be. Engineering is about delivering requirements

A lot of people advise ways of locking down name changes, but this doesn't really solve the problem. I'm sure there's someone out there whose first name is actually Jira. I worked for $company where customer dashboards were s

That's not really fair in the day and age of Electron apps. If the Electron app downloads JS code to run in its embedded browser / NodeJS runtime, then it's subject to similar attacks. Hypothetically, so too could any traditi

Projects like this reiterate just how important it is, from a security perspective, to ensure your production services are running in containers without an included shell. If an attacker can get a shell, they can do pretty much anything. De

Very few. But there's a difference between having control over the codebase where you can start to split up the monolith, adopt event-based architectures down the line, i.e. having a strategy on how to deal with the problem if and wh
