Yeah, as skeptical as I am about a lot of this stuff (for one, I personally believe that the climate is too chaotic and has too many significant independent variables to model with much certainty), I've always cringed a bit at the peop

It doesn't say that Rebecca bought them, FYI.

Makes perfect sense. Thanks!

Oh, agreed 100%. Thanks for the clarification. This is indeed what I do. I heavily enforce contracts (something some of my coworkers do not appreciate ;-). Perhaps we don't agree on everything here, though, because I still do not see a

I'm pretty sure that most people consider "software engineer" to be just a fake title that makes business cards look fancier... sort of like referring to a janitor/custodian as a "sanitation engineer".

> Just because one field tells you something should be there doesn’t mean an extra null-check would hurt. IMO, it would. NPE exists for a reason: to instantly alert you to a bug and/or contract violation. Maybe I misunderstood the a

Yeah, this is almost like criticizing democracy for being messy. The mess is sort of the point. :-)

It wouldn't surprise me if many enterprise systems were still reliant on Java 7. Where I work, most of our stacks still depend on Java 8.

We are tired of it, but we're also too busy blaming the problem on electric utilities and cow farts. ;-)

Wow, I guess I'm an extremist too. I wonder if Facebook knew that when they interviewed me. ;-)

Wow. I haven't had an ISP that used CGNAT in a long time, but something vaguely related is probably happening. Maybe I occasionally get assigned IPs that are on some sort of abuse list...

I dunno. I think they just treat fresh grads differently. They probably look more at one's graduation date than at one's (lack of) experience at that point. They want really fresh meat. ;-) My views here are purely anecdotal, and

Yeah, personally, I constantly receive calls from FAANGs for interviews, but I pass on them all. My current lack of free time to work on interview prep is the sole reason. I almost feel like it's impossible to find the time to prep wit

I can almost guarantee you that recycling cadavers into protein shakes will be one of the "next big things" proposed. To save the planet, of course.
