I think this may be a consequence of hiring for a position with the word “architect” in it. It implies the need for complexity vs. Getting a gaggle of senior devs together and lett…

Besides this being ineffective for the motivated, it might have a subtle antitrust effect. As kids find alternative platforms, perhaps they will be vendor locked to them instead of…

This is underappreciated. The number of individual conversations (edges) possible between n engineers (nodes) does not scale linearly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complete_graph

As a former employee of state and local government, who walked away from both pensions, this was my takeaway. At the beginning of a project, the government could spend above market…

The Supreme Court has weighed in on this with a little more nuance in their decision in Katz v. United States: “What a person knowingly exposes to the public, even in his own home …

I think this may be an example of Simpson’s Paradox https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simpson's_paradox

To add to this, engineers consider tradeoffs. You might choose to add comments and let the logic unfold in a less succinct way in order to improve readability and understandability…

I wonder if we are back to “who you know” because of a couple of factors: 1. The risk of a bad hire is great, and this de-risks that 2. It facilitates more natural and spontaneous …

Cognitive load is super important and should be optimised for. We all should have as our primary objective the taming of complexity. I was surprised to find an anti-framework, anti…

I can unironically imagine legitimate use cases for this idea. I’d wager that many DBs could fit unnoticed into the data footprint of a modern SPA load.

This is super difficult for me to parse. Could you please dumb it down for me?

Unforeseen scope creep is the reason to utilise Django over Flask, I feel. Also, you can pick and choose what to use in Django similarly to Flask - it just has a higher initial lea…

Once again, and I regret the ad hominem, I find Uncle Bob’s parochial delivery completely distracting from the substance of his message.

Played an entire game even though I need to be doing other things. Your 9 year old has written something super impressive.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candide Only thing I’ve read by Voltaire but it slapped.

I found them in 2015 when I was maintaining a legacy app for a university. The developer that implemented them could have used a few bools but decided to cram it all into one byte …

Great stack, I use a very similar stack and for the same reasons. I imagine you’re also in your late 30’s. Honestly the best UI I’ve seen is the terminal-based one at libraries in …

I have been both to this site and to Coober Pedy, South Australia. Pretty neat bit of architectural convergent evolution for extremely high temperature environments.

Dr. Murthy understands social media and the headwinds that younger generations are facing. With this in mind, are we underestimating the devastation awaiting the younger generation…

I love this. I also wish that Django would provide native scaffolding a la Laravel and Rails.

Such a policy would improve investment in data security and aligns nicely with our other policy regarding hostage-taking: we don’t negotiate.

I know this says credentials were in a repo but I wonder if this has to do with their self-hosted (EE?) GitLab instance. I've found mine (CE) sort of difficult to upgrade sometimes…
