Let's check the basics: 1. Do you have a LinkedIn profile, clearly listing your skills, accomplishments, and experience? Also with a clear, professional profile picture? Do you link to your Github page (and vice versa). 2. Do you have

I mean, this is a guy whose avatar on Medium is a semi-close up picture taken with a low-quality somewhat-fisheye webcam with bart simpson faces pasted over his eyeballs.. Yeah, he's probably lacking some of the basics.

Sounds like this dude is insufferable and exhausting and probably presents himself as such on his dating profile. Edit: Before you start writing a treatise on the socio-economics of contemporary market-based internet dating in the age of di

I hear you, but I've also been around the block enough times in my career to see the awful consequences of designing some feature, breaking it into a few Agile "stories", coding it up, then unlocking an enormous reservoir of

No, that isn't my assumption. I don't think anyone believes that there's some institution or degree program that spoon feeds everyone everything they should know and guarantees a high level of performance. Obviously, the scop

I positively agree with you. You are not going to walk out of a course or two in automata theory and group theory building critical complex systems. But that coursework does provide a lot of exposure toward the "primitives" in whi

Hah. Nah, I meant someone who is extremely thorough and catches many thing proactively that would otherwise be bugs that are difficult to track down.

You're right. At the end of the day it's just that special mix of experience (professional and academic), natural talent, interest, and professionalism.

I work with a team of people who mostly have "Software Engineering" degrees. I am one of the few with CS. In short: IN GENERAL - Those with SE degrees (or other non-CS degree, or no degree) can be excellent developers (good code

We're happy that you're alive too! I'm so curious, what advice or insight would you have for parents or children whose conception was supported by a donor?

Eating up post-it notes ("issues") and crapping out code - i.e., doing agile - is just not gonna cut it. When the end goal is a robust, resilient system that customers depend upon to suit their needs and your organization depends

I wonder if she (or her staffers) actually think with a straight face that this is actually a thing that many people care about? It seems marketed for coastal elites who are being patronizing towards rural americans. They knew what they&#x2

Not the OP, but often times people coming out of PhDs don't have applicable engineering skills that are used to deliver actual products to actual people. Getting results to put into a publication and delivering a product that people re

by vbtemp 7y ago
Amen! When your product requires true engineering, agile just causes you to keep chasing your tail. Engineering systems requires an engineering process and discipline, and agile is just not up to the rigor.

Fascinating. The worst thing about agile I feel is the stand-up meeting. It encourages people just to say stuff and posture as being busy. I feel it encourages the worst part about agile -- that input (work) is more important than results (

It's just cause people using tabs are not using properly configured IDEs or text editors, which reflects a lack of experience or adaptability, which reflects the lower salary. Edit: It's also kind of funny how people in this threa

I normally wouldn't belabor the point, but you peddle at best dubious information and cloak your argument in pseudo-logical sophistry. You, without any clear credentials in the field, make a bold claim that flies in the face of the sta
