>10. Want nothing, accept everything "Accept everything" was a big one for me. It helped me deal with anxiety about future, amid uncertainty.

I found it awkward to inject perl-like $variables in the middle of a Python notebook. The association with anything-XML also is a downer personally for me, its also a goodbye to lightweight. Yup, this maybe a superficial observation, but th

YOLO-level development is a slippery slope... We had a case where 2 backends from 2 teams needed to interoperate.. to support a much talked-up UI/functional feature that was supposed to make our product standout from rivals. What was i

I dreaded SOAP, and how it seemed to spawn an industry . I dreaded having to answer SOAP related questions in job interviews, but more than that I dreaded using any form of SOAP in my day-to-day work. Its nice our industry consigns certain

I think an architect is a technical , hands-on job, albeit a role that bridges both engineering and strategy/management. Architects should spend some time coding , maybe 25% of their time. I feel without doing some coding, you'r

Some of his points are spot on . Namely, framework magic (eg. Django's full of them, as are other Frameworks), as opposed to explicit calls.

There are people who are challenged , in their writing ability, but come up with new ideas. I can't name one off the top of my head, but I think the capitalistic world of startup companies could yield many examples of inventions. To m

I think he's almost flaunting it - but there's real value in the concept. One thing I have realized is that "was I stupid to do this" feeling has something to it. Like being laughed at by my colleagues because I was carr

The hammer analogy seems overdone. The framework , lets say , caters to 60% of your needs (being cautious here). OTOH, If your needs are pretty specific, and you go minimalistic, then you build 60% of your functionality by hand. Yes, code

The tests are about the presence of Fungi. Any food, raw or naturally fermented might have had these fungi. To connect that to beer seems a bit of a stretch.

His explanations seem very clear and simple, I'd dig into it, just to get a better understanding of rust, and the game dev part also seems do-able, unlike other authors where they dive into some complex pieces causing frustration to th

I would prefer Terraform. I can transfer those skills to GCP, or Azure or something else. CloudFormation is probably advantageous if your infrastructure is 100% AWS..

I like this. AWS feels like a proprietary mainframe system (will get downvoted for saying this). Anytime a majority of developer job postings mention a specific product/company certifications, (think PMP, or Microsoft developer certs)

I like the way they describe SSRs , then talk about hydration - which of course has to lead into interesting videos on compressed towels , and peat pellets!

A lot of people in the Cybersecurity industry are solely motivated by money. This is an egregious case. In milder cases, I've seen US SAS Cybersecurity providers being casual about customer protection, only caring if it starts hitting

Agreed. Every time I tried windows it was the same set of frustrating behaviors. Linux helps but needs some tinkering. My first step on a new laptop would be to wipe clean and install Linux.

AWS tenets are good for AWS. Rust has its own tenets. Both should be kept separate.

AWS tenets are good inside of AWS. There is something oraclesque going on here.

Agreed. Amazon might start off with good intentions, but it won't end nicely.

Well he's one guy, against the industry behemoth. Give him some credit, rather than big brother. Even if he errs. I'd not buy any rebuttal by the thousand-pound gorilla at face value

Its like back when XML was a thing, and people were freaked out about Microsoft's outsize influence on the XML standards committee. MS tried very hard to put in features into XML that would align nicely with their proprietary tools. IB

I might have been unfair on MSDN, as my experience in the past was really bad. I work with non-MS tech quite a bit, not sure if being deep in the MS-ecosystem helps in grokking the docs.. But I found it uniformly bad across : MS-SQL, Visual

It seems to be the general rule of thumb that, when you want to google for an oracle error message, then exclusion of both oracle documentation site, and developer forums is your first criteria on the search bar. Same applies to Microsoft

True there. By example, all germans of a certain generation paid a price after Hitler's crimes, unjustly or not. Racism and other injustices in the system have been perpetrated for centuries. When the tide turns, there is a blanket ap
