You can't talk about delegation without talking about what and who you're delegating. Delegating a demo or an exploration to a junior is fine if you can help them with feedbacks an…

How is getting proof one doesn't understand going to help build safer system? I want to believe formal methods can help, not because one doesn't have to think about it, but because…

Well, it does tell us something if they limit screen time like they limit sugar but don't limit book time. I'm sure almost no family have an upper limit on book time. Thus aiming f…

It depends on their sleep habit, work-life requirements and compensation when they need to be on-call. When you get a fatter check because your code break, the incentives are not i…

Vendoring means you don't have to fetch the internet for every build, that you can work offline, that you're not at the mercy of the oh-so-close-99.999 availability, that it will k…

Because people only quote it partially. > We should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time: premature optimization is the root of all evil. Yet we should not pa…

There is always more money elsewhere. But once you have a home, enough to raise your family and save for later, when is enough enough? And is the work fun? Fulfilling? Money is a m…

Not everyone is motivated by the highest wage they can get. Good enough can be good enough and then aim for fun/interesting/challenging/fulfilling work instead of a fatter check.

IMHO, the real problem is that they create an even greater dissonance between online life and IRL. Think about dating apps, pictures could be fake, and now words exchanged can be f…

It's much easier to forbid something to a subset of the population than to the population at large.
