I think you’ve seen about all there is to see in software dev. I’ve been doing it 25 years and passed that point a long time ago. From here, you can switch to something more fulfilling, which almost surely won’t pay as well, or just suck

I’m the opposite. I think you just need to realize life is short and not a moment should ever be wasted.

Languages that don’t have a built in police squad don’t have issues like this. The ‘community’ around Rust is its biggest handicap right now.

An American company can't hire those workers without either an H1B or moving the company from American to LATAM / Eastern Europe.

The only entity in the US that wanted and continues to lobby for H1B to continue is industry and their sole reason for doing so is keeping their salary expenses as low as possible. In the software industry it began with the fake premise th

Agree on this article and it's why I used to love the magazine and was a subscriber for many years. Unfortunately, it got to the point where this kind of content was increasingly rare and I unsubscribed a few years ago.

I know some people who avoid places doing this so you’re also losing customers. Maybe the people shamed into tipping make up for this, but the business will never know.

Paid to live where? Does this financial support only apply to me or also to my kids? Rather than have students research and understand employment potential in a given field before investing in that field, you would instead encourage them

Because that’s the agreement they chose to enter.

That’s why they pay double what normal employers do, who will also fire you at any time.

I’d love for deployment to consist of copying one file to one location and as little time spent as possible learning or understanding anything else about the tool.

It’s where most things of value are. Few current things survive long and of those that do, you’ll find them in the past.

You’re usually pushed into this role if you have what they’re looking for.

Diverted? Took employers money without permission? Why won’t they just use the word we have that describes this?!

Hm, I write bash scripts routinely and never do it that way. Always develop and run my scripts as files, starting with ‘set -x’ if I need debug info. I keep interactive mode solely for command line work, not development of scripts I plan

Ok, so employers won’t hire from these colleges then. This is only going to benefit wealthy kids who have the luxury of paying for a degree that won’t enable them get a job.

If CO continues on their path, their fires will go out of control and spread to other states. If they had a way to contain their fires within their state I’d agree to let them burn it down if that’s what they want to do, but I don’t see ho

Kennedy? Clinton? There are so many. Not sure this is the issue.

All subjective. That style has plenty of people who don’t agree with any of your criticisms and could list many of what they consider benefits. It would also be very difficult to prove that extra lines of code have any financial impact, l

The only federal regulation I saw referenced in the article were clean air regulations. Otherwise, it appears states and their residents are imposing additional barriers. And public opinion is a local issue of course as well. I don'

Don’t bother. Your preferred style will go out of fashion just like the previous ones all have. Chasing this is low value busy work.

In a way, it's a permanent brand you have to wear and some employers may avoid you indefinitely thinking that you may always be vulnerable to the itch to go out and start your own thing. If I'm looking for a dependable programmer

That happened, was called the folk movement. Was pretty huge at the time. Young cool kids in the 60s revered old blues men and pulled them back into music from obscurity. See Newport Folk festival, for example. Dylan modeling himself af

You’d have to have extremely narrow taste for that to be true. It was not uncommon at all for people to be into blues and jazz which goes back further and then of course you can go all the way back to Bach. We had jazz band in high school

You're old enough then to have used message boards before they turned into a popularity contest with voting. It's easy enough to just ignore those features entirely.

I know exactly what you mean. Younger people almost all actually believe the hype of each fad and don’t realize when they’re reinventing the wheel. If you’re surrounded exclusively with people like this, you’ll go insane. I have no solut

HN crowd and devs should know better than most that you can’t depend on anything from Google. Kind of surprised this conference is still being held given where they are at right now.

Guess we'll have to keep sending people to prison until y'all get that your 'fake it till you make it' is in fact fraud, which most people understand as a kind of scam.
