You steal. What do you think "I get bike parts from various places" means? There's a special hell for bike thieves. I have empathy for the person and their situation, but not for their actions.

We love to say this, and it makes the techie inside feel good, but then why are there so many good devs and so few great leads?

The article is certainly bias towards the move fast and break things mentality being applied to these nuclear startups. It basically calls the NRC a dinosaur that's blocking any future nuclear capacity, which in my mind IS a big party

The degree is part of the training of an engineer, not the professional designation itself. The challenge with our current understanding of the title software engineer is that practitioners are not held to the same standards and responsibil

The "just build a desktop app" trope is even more played out. Plus you know all these front end frameworks are "just HTML/ JS/CSS" right?

Why is no complaining that there more than one way to build a php app? Perhaps because like JS it's a huge ecosystem with a giant user base and millions of use cases. Front end dev has lots of room to support the dozen or so mainstream

Do you think the "clueless middle managers" the OP alludes to view themselves as such? Or are they too protecting their teams so they can get real work done? We all see ourselves as the rare exception, the one bucking the status q

You should do a little research, we're taking about natural gas not gasoline. The supply, demand and price are only loosely connected and nobody drives an F350 powered by natural gas. Natural gas predominately displaces coal, so you mu

That's the point, they aren't. You need developers to execute but with today's triple A franchise titles and marketing-heavy launches it's not sufficient.
