What you're referring to as the stepping stone is the terminology. You know very well that people in our field like big words and big terms - full stack developer, machine intelligence, leaky bucket algorithm, graph query language, fun

You read the sentence in such a way that it can fit the narrative you wrote. > They ask for everything I don't know who "they" refers to and what those they ask for, or what everything is. You're not concise and are a

It's not the full stack engineer that's problematic. How to successfully utilize human beings that have varying degree of skills and ethics is what the problem is. The one with high-level of such skills is an asset, not the proble

Bitcoin was meant to be used. It's being held instead of used. Its primary purpose is destroyed. We keep pretending as if crypto market isn't a get rich quick scheme that draws in naive people who invest (and lose). Everything you

I'm in management, writing to confirm this. I've seen many CV's, many gaps, never asked about it, I don't even assume why it happened. Burnout is a known problem in our profession, I approach people with open mind, I exp

I want to provide service to clients that we're paid for. I want staff to actually know what they claim they know. I want to deliver so we can all get paid and go home and do whatever else interests us. That's what I want. But I&#

Then you also don't have any problem if better candidate appears and challenges your position, right?

Don't read what's written the way it suits you in order to come out as a better person, also commenting on someone's business with literally 0 facts means only that you're posting from an image you created in which you&#

It takes two to tango. If you want to get paid, become someone who's useful. This attitude where employees sit like bags of potatoes waiting for knowledge to permeate their brains via osmosis is awful.

What's wrong with those two? I'm genuinely interested, software engineers are overpaid as is with benefits that nearly every other industry can only dream about and you're upset about not being able to put extra 5 hours of ti

I don't understand your response. There's not a single proof except heartbleed in OpenSSL. I merely asked the author to provide the proof, not for you and I to engage in Go's memory safety and billions in damages and inherent

Thank you for the response and the judgement, but we obviously consider the word "rude" to mean something else. I was not offensive or ill-mannered, I merely wondered why a person, that's apparently capable of doing minimal r

Heartbleed was in openssl. I didn't ask about memory safety in C. Caddy author was pretty accurate with his statement, I asked for proof. Heartbleed is not the only memory leak, there's plenty, C's been around like software w

IT is full of impostors. You're surrounded by them. You like writing code and solving problems. Your coworkers want to get by. Many people working in IT are like that, that's just how it is - it's a field that pays well and i

Source? Any content on memory safety concerns in "C" servers or problems that lead to catastrophic results in production? I'm interested in reading about it.

Seeing you're someone capable of using a web server, it implies you're beyond capable of finding why Caddy over nginx and vice versa, which brings up the question: why didn't you?

I've used many solutions, even built my own in the end. Problem is that there's no software that can make SSO easy to understand if you don't know everything about SSO to begin with. SSO is not that complicated to work with,

SPA is HTML/JS served by the server . We don't need client-only solutions. We need devs to understand how HTTP and browsers work. It means that we simply keep using what actually works, i.e. serverside component that obtains auth

Wanting to use same tools for backend and frontend is one of the reasons. IMO, there's only one gain to SSR and that's the one you can instantly feel when using the app - it's that the page load seems faster. That's it.

It feels like we're running in circles. We used languages like PHP/Ruby to produce HTML/CSS that browser renders. Then Microsoft introduced XHR. Then we started with "saving bandwith" and "page does not to be r

Having a language that already educated and skilled group of people can pick up fast is advantage. Targeting and working with people who grasp logic is good. Not bad. There's ever-repeating notion present that we need to invent tools t

What made you post such a negative comment? You could have just closed the window and resumed with your day, but what propelled you to be so angry about this particular advice that you had to write about it here? The list is obviously not f
