In my opinion the “problem” (what problem?) is not Agile but the mismatch between what tech companies want and what technical people usually want: - tech companies want to push decent features live every 2 weeks (the usual sprint duration).

There’s a difference between breaking down a complex technical problem in a few days (my approach) and doing it on the fly while doing a sprint planning. Most of Agile people want you to give estimates and simple dumb tasks that break down

I’m the only one who find the role (and the name) “scrum master” shocking? First and foremost anyone’s can become a “scrum master” in a few weeks and get a certificate that proves it. I don’t take it seriously because of this. Secondly, we

Not sure why he’s been downvoted. It does sound quite reasonable. Writing code from scratch is easier than reading other people’s code. Explaining (in a correct and understandable way) what a snippet of code does is, imho, way more valuable

But Docker is not the only way to provide reproducible environments. I find Terraform + Ansible enough for such purposes.

I’m a very mediocre developer and if Copilot is any better than me at writing code, then I will have a hard time understanding whatever Copilot throws at me. I cannot just save, commit and push whatever Copilot suggests... so it’s faster if

Agree. It’s way easier to write a function from scratch than to read/evaluate/fix whatever snippet Copilot throws at me. Replace Copilot with “junior engineer” or “senior engineer that knows more than me” and the result is the sam

What makes you think the reason we can’t handle, for example, climate change is “we are not that intelligent”? I think the reason in this case is quite simple: some people/organizations/governments don’t want to apply measures aga

GitLab is starting to become difficult to use due to the amount of features being introduced. It was simple but now it just looks and feels complex. Personal perspective, of course.

It’s like the Nigerian Prince email scam but the other way around : 99% of the people who receive such an email will identify the scam and ignore it. This is totally fine for the scammers. Working as expected. Now, in the Reddit scenario 99

For the Hungarian HN readers: these are the salary ranges you should aim at when working for a German company (remotely or in Germany): - junior: 45K - 55K - medior: 60K - 75K - senior: 75K - 90K Although getting more than 85K as an individ

Is not that the 60% are in favor of the monarchy; it’s that the 60% are in favor of no change... they are conservative, and any significant change scares them.

He he. Depends. Startup mentality is the same pretty much everywhere (sadly): push feature after feature using “cool” tech.

This is interesting. What if OP is running their golang application under a “golang” user and group? Wouldn’t that be enough to limit the surface area of attack? I’m assuming here that the “golang” user has limited permissions in the OS.

I don’t need slimmer containers, I need slimmer VMs. Honest question: I’m using Vagrant and virtualbox to locally reproduce my cloud infrastructure. I can’t do this just with containers (Some of my servers do not run containers, so I instal

This. I work because I need the money. Period. I love my craft and I practice it every day on my own terms and as little or as much as I want... but offering my skills to others just happens because I get paid.

> I believe working in the office is a competitive advantage. For the company, probably; not for me. All the bullet point you mentioned: none of them applies to me. It’s interesting to see different points of view, though.

In all Western and Northern Europe (except UK and Switzerland), 50K for a junior position sounds about right. It’s around 25K in Southern Europe, and probably less in Eastern Europe.

For this very same reason I closed all my Google service accounts. Sure, I miss gmail but to be honest, having zero anxiety regarding these topics is worth the price.

I don’t think so. I can’t emulate my infrastructure environment anymore because Virtualbox doesn’t work on M1. Docker itself is not enough. So here I am running a powerful machine but running VMs on the cloud (and paying extra for it)... oh

Umm, I do enjoy the things you mentioned (building new stuff, experiment with new tech) but I love doing that on my free time, without pressure, deadlines and bosses. At work, though, I love: boring stuff I can deal with easily, long epics
