Heavily off-topic but I think he means that you pay and get the test _before_ actually making the trip on which you might actually get the virus. Which indeed makes no sense other than making Dublin airport richer. OTOH if you spend some ti

SOLID and a dozen of DPs and you get there pretty fast. Then you rewrite by another team with their interpretation of SOLID and another dozen of "better suited" DPs and you get there again. On 3rd iteration you just buy something

Interviewing has become a theater of the absurd. You get examined on things that won't be useful in 99% of your work. People put in hours to prepare and game it. Overall countless hours go to waste to just play the role. Most times it

I'd personally not work on SW that could be used by someone else commercially at zero expense. In that sense I never understood why people moved away from GPL and started using "do whatever you want"-license types. Funny triv

Curious. Is anyone using it in production?

Exactly my experience as well. In my home country I was an extrovert. In native English speaking country I turned to an introvert. Best approach I've seen is to speak regardless of making mistakes. What wears out the listeners is not t

I'm going to (re)start sailing. Last time it made things worse though - some of the least professional people I've seen in my life make a living as sailing instructors. I hope I'll find a more organised situation in the new c

Is there anything good that humanity did not turn to shite given enough time? I mean we could very well work half the hours and be as rich and have zero unemployment but heck no. We need to have 10% or more unemployment rates and work our a

DevOps is a sad story both for devs and for ops. It was supposed to treat operations as a SW problem thus take away the toll and draw devs in. In reality for most places it either means that devs also do pipelines and operations or that ope

microservices are such a bad idea for most companies out there. Specially for companies doing onprem SW that suddenly want to "go to the cloud with microservices" without realising that micorservices is the end destination of a lo

Was working in a similar product and it was by far the worst dev experience I've ever had. It was actually worse than what the post describes. It was like having to go through a lot of stages to get to the area I'm working and hal

Yes but why? I mean why bother when it feels like trying to move rocks alone and even if you do you won't get recognition in any form. What can you do if the org just does not get it? I think moving away makes more sense personally.

In my country (EU) COVID incidents get handled by public health system only. Which was not in great shape to begin with. Health insurers had bailed out since day zero on COVID. There's lately though talk about unvaccinated COVID patien

"Abstraction, not much incentive to build layers of abstractions" This is portrayed as a bad thing but I find this at least weird and warped. IMO the infinite layers of abstraction that specific OO schools introduced are a curse f
