When I read this type of stories I cannot help but think that the world would be better off if we banned that type of predator-like behavior, those super aggressive strategies that…

Wow, that was a very measured response to my comment. From what you wrote it looks obvious to me that you completely missed the point I was trying to make, but I share the responsi…

You say that you don't brush it off at all, but just before you said "But IME, those folks are few and far between.". Your experience does not really matter here if you are not a w…

This exchange is a very good illustration of what happened with the #metoo movement: a woman explains the toll that street harassment has on their life, and a man that has never ex…

> Say you have a majority of one This rarely happens if the parliament is elected right after the president is. Electing members of the parliament becomes: "do I want the president…

I loved the first paragraphs but then they lost me with their list of examples. Those are not examples of asking stupid questions. Those are examples of asking good questions in a …

They would be what then?

The 2nd point, "Make your boss afraid", is a double edged sword. If you become indispensable, there is a chance you will get laid off because of that. https://www.stickyminds.com/a…

I know which company you are talking about :). I agree that abuse of mocks is bad for tests 100%. But when I clicked the link I was hoping to read an article giving a nuanced descr…

Yep, and he did a very bad job at it (and so do you) if the goal was to change my mind. Do you maybe have arguments?

When I am developing a feature, I want to know very fast whether or not my code's logic is correct. It is not rare during the development cycle to run the same test dozens of times…

The author seems to believe people either mock everything or don't mock anything. Obviously using mocks for all your tests is a very bad idea, but that's not how things are done ge…

Did someone understand how they plan on doing so? On first look it reminded me of conservative posts with a lot of outrage but no solution.

Because of an unfortunate house-sharing issue I ended up without any electricity at home for almost 2 months. I still had a phone that I was charging at the office, and still used …

Maybe I am not stubborn enough, but my experience after 5 tries is: - Nobody showed their face to the camera - why not but it seems odd to not be on equal foot - 1 person was doing…

You should probably stop thinking about your velocity for a while and instead focus on quality. For your design phases, think thoroughly about all possible solutions and detail the…
