I think primeagen sums it up well. At the end of the day, no one cares about the internals of a the product. They care that it actually works. I'd caveat the statement that the only people who care about the internals, are the maintain

Is this not just an alternate form of DDOS? Imagine if you're operating emergency services, and your phone rings non-stop. When someone actually has a legitimate emergency, the emergency service provider is essentially overwhelmed by

Seriously. As an avid NYtimes loyalist, I'd prefer they exhaustively enumerate through EVERY company where contractors outnumber FTEs. And then I want an equal amount of coverage distributed over all companies.

I think the author missed an opportunity at the end, when threading the role of AI/decision-making with respect to our lives... Our behavior in society is fluid and dynamic. And so the extent to which data gets used to influence our fu

There are a lot of comments in here saying instructors spoon-feed content. I attended a bootcamp, and maybe other bootcamp grads can back up my claim here but... Instructors don't spoon-feed material. Curriculums are set up to be proje

This seems like the most likely reason for domestic companies to deny everything, and for their supply chain distributors to play along. 1) Big company partners with distributor. 2) Distributor has security issues. 3) Gov is already aware o

I don't really understand how you can measure popularity without doing a census-like survey, reaching out to every developer possible in a coordinated effort. Awhile back, I took a statistics class that explained how polling everyone b

"The trust must be restored." Playing devil's advocate, what happens when the trust doesn't become restored? The company loses ad revenue? Developers flee in mass droves to...Yahoo and Microsoft? Look what happened when

I think the biggest blocker with using publicly available datasets is stale data. If you, or anyone else who aggregates these datasets could make it EASY to find the FREQUENCY of updates, rather than just the LAST UPDATED timestamp, it&#x27

I imagine there's some observation bias here, but aren't there other enterprise chat apps out there in the market? Like if my neighbors and coworkers and friends use Slack, I'm not sure if they're a proxy of the en

"Making" and "creating" are pretty ambiguous here. The mint literally creates physical money (coins). But in the end, the government actually does generate revenue, that gets calculated into a profit or loss for the cou

I'd note the official documentation isn't intuitive either. Which lends itself to all of the tutorials that seem to promote mindless copy paste, because authors would rather paste their code, than explain why parts of the API are

I used to work in payments in the public sector. The Fed generates ~$90 BN of revenue for the US government every year. And it does it by printing physical cash. I think the first step to traction would be convincing Congress that they can

The author really took the phrase "it takes 2 data points to create a trend" to heart there. I'm also not a fan of the map on that page. They visually overweigh the closing bootcamps against open ones, when really there were
