A couple of years old, but in the early days they didn’t care about sanitizing non-English content. Leading to pearls like this:

He also didn’t invent a programming language.
For a file system you only get one murder.

Looking up how to do something, as an improved stackoverflow. Especially if it provides sources in the answer.

Boilerplate unit tests. Yes, yes, I know - use parametrized test, but it’s often not practical.

Mass refactoring. This is tricky because you need to thoroughly review it, but it saves you annoying typing.

I’m sure there’s more, it’s far from useless. But you need to know what you want it to do and how to check if done correctly.

Packaged products ready to use? No.
Libraries which I use in my own projects? I at least have a quick look at the implementation, often a more detailed analysis if issues pop up.

Giving birth to yourself - the ultimate self hosting

Those are rookie numbers

I’d rather present it as a non-overlapping Venn diagram. It’s not the level, those are different skills completely

khm, khm
let gender

please don’t use deprecated syntax

Gender is a pointer

And then it gives you the most generic answer how to run a docker build, that doesn’t actually address the problem

I hear this criticism all the time, but I’ve never seen it happen in 5 companies I’ve worked for so far. Usually there’s an understanding that estimates are wild guessing, and things are planned using dependencies rather than timeliness.

[object Object]

yes

In most companies there’s no incentive to write good code. It does the job? Keep it. Oh it costs 5x in AWS costs than it theoretically could if it was a good design? Who cares nobody even understands infrastructure costs

It can’t be repeated enough: never pre-order a game

Well, that’s the thing you could have it if you invested all the money that currently goes into highways. The amount of money is always limited (everybody hates taxes for a reason), so building large quantities of both is impossible.

Roads are always going to cost more in the end, but they’re easier to build incrementally. Boiling the frog situation.

Even if policy of your local government changes (which is at least a little up to you) you will still have to suffer the current situation and keep driving for a while before a better system is built. But that’s no reason to throw good money after the bad.

Unless there’s another bus for the other 50% of the travel. The point of a public transportation system is to be just that - a system. To get from anywhere to anywhere else.

Just reminded me of an argument trying to explain that arithmetic with floating point numbers is not always correct to a coworker who was a mathematician just starting in software dev.

In a mathematicians mind the fact that an arithmetic operation can produce inaccurate result is just incomprehensible

Wow you’re lucky. I’ve always wanted a job like that.

And for a while I had something similar but unfortunately rotten. We had a ping pong table, afterwork parties, no overtime, lunch, even a swimming pool. And we could use all of it.

However we were seriously underpaid, I got an 80% raise just by saying hello in another company. No remote work without any reason at all (most of my team was in other countries). And awful decision making by upper management.

Made me cynical if something like it is even possible. Glad to hear it is.
