For me it is difficult to give good code comments just when code is written. The problem is solved, the tricky parts if any are internalized. I dont mind reading code so just docum…

Or is the past endlessly rehashed with AI generated content?

Please don't. It will just become the usual Americanized trope filled insult to the original story. Stick with Marvel to produce your generic entertainment.

Minimalist as in the README does not specify that it refers to the UI though.. If I read minimalist software I would assume a more holistic interpretation unless otherwise specifie…

This is a rather pretentious take. Not sure I agree that a lowest-common-denominator i.e. violence and sex TV-drama counts as common culture. The setting could be whatever, it woul…

What is an IC? I don't recognize the acronym in this context

I have been day dreaming about a program taking a factorio blueprint and running it through a genetic algorithm to produce a compressed but still functional version. I can imagine …

A more natural way would be to arrange for people to work together in smaller groups on tasks as part of the normal work. If you provide this then I agree with the parent poster if…

Thanks for the response, very informative, I feel it explains a lot of what I was confused about. So maybe a simplified view for me is: massive adoption of JS + frameworks, cookie …

Yes the ads/trackers/etc is most likely a reason that a webpage cannot be completely without javascript. Two other possible reasons from the top of my head: If a web developer is h…

I am not a front-end developer but looking at it from a distance I really don't get modern web design. Sure some sites might need fancy javascript single page features, like if you…

I see this as a part of the trend towards a bleak future of auto generated low quality generic content flooding the web. It already feels like it has been going on for a long time …

I had the exact same experience! I found that copying things by hand it keeps the backlog in check and avoids long running tasks.

Its not new. Its called a covey chart and is used in "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" from 1989, a highly popular self help book. (not sure if it was used in any prior wor…

Another way to do it is to fix bugs and refactor old not so good code. Force yourself to understand the actual underlying logic and the problems it solve. Use your frustration to f…

> Okay, was it a bad game? Who knows, hardly anyone played it. That's the crux of what he's saying. I played it a few times when it came out. I had been looking forward to it. Unfo…

If stress levels are normal usually a short walk will do. If something is really stuck in my head i complement with stashing away the work computer and having a drink on my balcony…

I read it from your link. It was an interesting piece about innovation and imagination versus lack of imagination.

Yes I agree for the general case and I have seen this problem many times where management refuse to see the problem with anti-social loners holding too much of the competence in a …

I agree with this comment. I see it as pragmatic thinking not to test people at this point. It is a special situation, if you show any symptom of sickness just stay at home, it sho…

What does modern mean in this context? I see this word being used a as a positive adjective a lot recently to describe rewrites etc but it is unclear to me what it actually implies…

I share this sentiment. I tend to categorize cruft code in two different categories, and in most cases I have encounter both stem mostly from programmer inability rather than time …

I recall hearing/reading that a lot of the time in the office is passive/suboptimal. The productivity gain is that you have the people there in standby. The gain is that the import…

Yes, easier if you know ruby.. sed/awk is good for munching strings in small scripts and it is also always installed on a unix system (AFAIK).

If the message is sent to a remote host then perhaps the send_no_suspend function could help. I know it is used in core parts of erlang telcom systems with several millions of user…
