Whatever you think of it, there is probably good chance there was some reason for it. Companies rarely write off huge investment for no reason. Just because you or I don't see it does not mean it does not exist. The owners are probably

It is not about what candidates prefer. If that was the case, there would be no whiteboards or any kind of exercises at all.

If you can't find 2h for a Zoom call I start questioning your commitment to get the job, especially when there is no time limit on when you can have the meeting (within reason). When I had an important interview in a place where I real

As an interviewer, I believe take home tasks are unfair and also poor return on investment. Take home tasks incentivise candidates to burn as much time as possible on the task. Consequently, they are a test of who is willing to put a week o

Except the problem isn't investors buying property. Investors are buying up property for rental because it is profitable because there is huge demand for it because a lot of people simply are unable to own their own house and that is b

Snowflake is not expensive. Snowflake is super cheap, IF you know what it is for and how to use it. Compared to if you had to solve the problem on your own. The best way to describe Snowflake is that it is a brute force method to run comp

My company was hit by same or similar scammers. We had people turn up in our office for their first day of work only to be told they were scammed. The most heartbreaking part of this is these people are actually typically in poor financial

I am big fan of FRP with Java and RxJava/Reactor. When I learned about it three years ago I practically got drunk on it. I think the issue is, the more power you get the more you have to be vigilant and more effort into ensuring the po

I am not actively thinking about "asians" in a racist way. For me this is a term that describes people coming from certain geographical background which is distinct from say "europeans" or "north americans" or

Hi dang. But this is my 22 years of experience in software development working for various companies from all over the world, including a number of companies in Asia. I have experience working directly for about 30 companies and indirectly

Not necessarily. There are various ways to conceal a listening service, for example through knocking protocol.

There are multiple issues with flat bottomed wok. The point of the wok is that the liquid gathers in the centre of the wok leaving the sides with very little liquid on them which helps a lot with browning. You can also throw small amounts o

Carbon steel wok is far superior to any flat bottomed pan for certain types of dishes but you need skill to use it.

You can get more powerful burner but you can also reduce your portions. I have a carbon steel wok on a typical (here) gas burner (~7k BTU). I can make single portion on it. It requires moving the food around the wok surface constantly to pa

Most development at very large companies happens by hordes of people who call themselves developers but do not care about development and barely understand anything they are doing. Most coding happens by copying and pasting from Stack* and

Carbon steel wok is only viable on a powerful gas stove. Right now where I live there is a campaign to get rid of gas stoves. And the existing ones are far, far from being powerful enough to use wok properly.

My parents had goats. The problem with goats for your nice landscape is that they will nibble at everything including your trees and any shrubbery.

So we have Facebook destroying lives on a massive scale by knowingly wasting people away glued to the screen. They also knowingly exploit base emotions of literally billions of people to antagonise them just to keep them "engaged"

Nah, it is just regular greed combined with lack of scrupules and slightly larger than average budget.

It is called "carbon cycle" for a reason. No amount of trees or other biomass can revert what we have done or even make a significant dent. Currently, all biomass on Earth equals about a decade of our emissions from carbon we dug

Way off course. Replace developer with manager and you still get the same problem. It is all about knowledge and making decisions. Nothing to do with the fact that software development is a new area. Architecture (buildings) is a very old t

The answer is super simple. Wrong incentives + lack of mechanisms to find, navigate to and promote interesting content. Nowadays, people create content on Youtube essentially only for profit (be it actual profit from Youtube or promotion).

Yeah, exactly. Now explain to somebody they need to come up with a measurements for all the things I have very efficiently declined to do... saving everybody time, effort and helping the really important task get the bandwidth it needed.

Developers do not just ship code. If you think developers only code you are naive and unfamiliar with developers' work. Developers solve problems and then ship implementations of those solutions. You can ship completely technically cor

I don't like to respond to my own posts but I forgot to include something which I think is important. Unfair "heuristics" create unhealthy incentives that are typically way more damaging than having little clarity. 1. People
