The economics of software are very different from physical goods. Margins on software (products) are orders of magnitude higher. Any cost shaving done at coding time is economicall…

What has always worked for me is the exact opposite: no goal from the start, just try as many things that interest you as possible until you have one or two areas that work for you…

It is nice, but nobody except celebrities and super rich people can afford any of these apartments. It’s easy to create nice things for extremely rich people, the real challenge in…

True but that site is satire https://0ver.org/about.html

Or maybe thanks to this strong moderation, not despite it.

I disagree. They were such a great door into escapism and friendship for me, a standard guy from a small town in Italy with no metal friends at all until the internet came about. F…

Great quote. It applies to pretty much any profession that isn't pure art. Knowing how it works in medical and research fields, it would be a great analogy for that too.

So many parallels with the Italian software industry. Plagued by low pay, clerical work and system integrators monopolising the entire industry for decades. I also see cloud comput…

While in some places Communism has definitely been responsible for atrocities, in many countries (especially Western Europe, Asia and South America) Communist parties have been on …

Marginally, from a historic perspective.

Great article. It’s inspiring to see what applications some simple algorithms can have. Kudos for building the tool and sharing your approach.

This to me seems less of a problem where I come from, Italy. It's true that most Italians indulge in sugar when drinking coffee (which it's a terrible practice, we should instead p…

The promise of crypto is still valid. It’s the centralized idea of crypto platforms like Coinbase that is evaporating, and that’s a good thing.

I don't understand how you don't count meetings and context switching as part of work hours. You're helping others, making decisions, etc. It's not that what's not coding is not wo…

Others already replied in useful ways that reflect my thoughts here. I know some people can and will make it, but it’s definitely not for everyone or even the majority of them, esp…

Not everyone can have a better job. Sorry but your comment reveals how little empathy we, software engineers, can have at times.

The problem with doing this in Python is that there is no typing or interfaces to help you. Basing it purely on naming of arguments breaks the assumption that argument names are lo…

The way I see it is that DDD works well with very consolidated process modelling. Think finance, insurance, but also e-commerce, billing systems, etc. If your business is for examp…
