Surely that's purely subjective. I look at a lisp and gasp, but that's because I've never really used it and am not used to it.

At a previous job we did a 'tech experiment' to write a Go REST service. As far as I'm aware it's still in use in a production-level capacity. It used the following: - gotest - No DI, but in hindsight this would have bee

The case in between is the developer who's been with the company the longest (>2 years) and so just gets bubbled up the chain into the CTO role while the dev team consists entirely of graduates/juniors

scripting with node.js? Isn't that objectively picking the wrong tool for the job? Perhaps I'm just ignorant as to why you would use what's typically a web server for the purposes of scripting

Someone needs to chill. I've been working with Python projects for nearly 5 years and you only ever use a subset of the tools. And let's face it, for the most part Python has needed some sort of formality in the project setup, a

You joke, but an interview for a Australian government agency I did (can't name it for fear of assassination) I was asked by interviewers which other candidates in the group interview I would work with and why. They were not at all t

Arguably both of those are terrible. It's just fluff for no real benefit. Why do you not know what data type those things are? What's wrong with 'address' or 'phone_number' or something to that effect?

Ah so there are people out there like this, who think random pop culture references will 'bring a smile' to someone editing the code. Please don't. 'Avoid being cryptic' - but please, throw in a reference no-one m

It's not overly expensive either to get a custom G Suite domain if you enjoy gmail, but don't want the domain name.

I'd love to see a study done on developers - how their first job has influenced their zealotry for programming languages / technologies

Yeah! "insert niche language that I use" isn't even number 1? That ranking system is just plain wrong!

> perhaps it's time to make it more decentralized and dynamic (the original proposition) Honestly, what does that even mean? Wouldn't it be even more chaotic?

The company I work for has switched to fully remote. Our team has handled it pretty well so far, but I know others within the company (particularly non-development teams) are finding it challenging.
