With all those agile ceremonies, this cafe will become the hotel California.. you will never check out... Or rather to use a github term: you will checkout but never checkin.

Lines of code comes to mind. They could monitor developer productivity well.

The picture seems muddled, esp due to him being potentially being high, though that's not confirmed. What is clear is that Bird has entered into questionable legal indemnifications . They are also choosing to go after a person with no

You could fill pages on the subject of abstraction. While on the subject it would've been apt for the Author to quote or give a nod to the one of the pioneers in this field : Barbara Liskov, and the Liskov substitution principle. Not

When I try to visualize their full set of aws resources (say, their TF aws 'resources' etc) ... might not look pretty under the hood. You have to drink the serverless koolaid-on-steroids to be putting all your eggs into the '

His enthusiasm overtook everything. He felt the pain, rushed/designed a solution and everything. But he never followed the money trail. I felt like this was a glaring omission. Another consideration is you consider : your solution, t

While there is some potential for over-reach, and a kind of stereotyping of Chinese academics, this is not without basis. A lot of them have abused their welcome, and done actions against USA - all while funded by US taxpayer. The Chinese g

Have applied to multiple senior engineering (IC - individual contributor) roles, and have never been ghosted this way (in the US). I've always got a phone screen, and a polite "not a fit" or something neutral (for the hiring

I suppose I'm prejudiced.. There's a whole load of "Design Patterns" books that haven't had much of an impact, when you try to read them, many of them have the author's pet idiosyncrasies or preferences in how

Maybe the dude needs to be working on a bio-tech / wearable-computing startup... if he's willing to go this far. But I guess its a moral stain. If its his 11th year, why not pass him for his sheer persistence.

Can confirm from experience. It took me years to shake that off and become known as a developer who could database. Its a function of whatever the team lacks. Once upon a time, DBA was a thing - I did manage to stay out of that deep pigeonh

That powerpoint is truly opaque. The culture of work that resulted in that powerpoint being used hopefully is no more. I wonder if one can connect that to the Boeing Max disaster. We don't need Tufte and his subtle points to see this w

Dialing up the annoyance level to a 11. Microsoft has spent the last 6 years or more glacially gravitating its OS-developer features towards Ubuntu. Because they couldn't do better - VSCode being the one crowning glory - and not an in

And I suppose this is the opposite of Apple's strategy. There was a recent WashingtonPost article, apparently, any employee once they quit Apple (and become ex-employee) - HR changes their title to "Associate" - this affec

Agreed on most points there. On the flip side, I was running away from That One Language (Java). I was put off by its verbal diarrhea (when it came to naming classes - blame it on Spring perhaps). And the gratuitous use of OOPs concepts

The easy way is thru the late Robert Chassell's book "Emacs Lisp Intro". I know someone mentioned it , but I bought a hard copy of Chassell's book and its great to learn, esp from one of the core members, in a different

It also stems from a laziness to consider where a person is coming from, other than literal reading of text. Brains become callused, or worse slightly autistic, where only precision matters.
