This was 22 years ago... it's honestly so tiring to see people use this as a "got 'em!" argument. Times change, businesses change. This is not a case of ideology.

I feel this is a good question, but alone may be a step too far, too abstract to provide insight. At least without guidance. Isn't the honest answer "I don't know. No-one knows."?

Great points, thank you. You also helped me realize that part of all this mess is that I HAVE been feeling old. Well, maybe not old... older. I feel like I got hyper-focused on bei…

Thank you! Something I realized when reading your response is that I winced a tiny bit when you mentioned "finding meaning in your work" - as if that was something I did not believ…

Hey, thanks for your input! These are good questions. Funny thing. A few months ago I've also decided to improve my communication skills - both in reading and writing. (Long way to…

Interesting point! I think there's something to it. Forgive me if my central European bias is showing, but I've always discounted how important it is to align yourself with the mis…

If this ends up dead and nothing more than a semi-introspective rant, so be it, served its purpose. I started programming when I was 16. I am now over twice that and still programm…

Using the sorted() built-in returns a new sorted array. Getting keys from a dictionary is literally just calling dict.keys(). Sorry, but I don't think you've used Python enough to …

Boy, have I! Acting on it, though... :-) Life seems balanced now, I get to scratch my itches, not unhappy at my current job, and I don't feel like I'm saying "no" and making excuse…

Modeling vehicle dynamics as a whole is a great subject, because there are so many parts where you have to explicitly decide on how much you wish to simulate. Brakes, tires, suspen…

I want to get a better sense of marketing, and how it fits in with the process of building and releasing a new product. I _think_ I've always trivialized the marketing aspect of st…

Thanks!

What's the Swedish version?

What's some of the best writing on all aspects of technical debt that you've come across?

Asking mostly from the developer perspective (so the interviewee), but if you were the interviewer and had a memorably positive experience while interviewing someone, don't hold yo…

Is anything ever? Why is there such a strong tendency towards treating things as a this-is-it(-this-time-for-real) thing? This only confuses people and muddles up expectations.

A bit of a plug, but you should check out this thing I built! Go to https://hackattic.com - It's just a test of an idea, but I wanted to show people it's possible to come up with n…

I'm glad you like the idea! It's a pretty standard Django app. Some bland Docker trickery around generating the actual challenges/problems, but that's probably it. Simplicity was d…

Thanks - that is and will be the core focus.

Great! Hope you do, good luck!

Hey guys, I hacked that thing up ^ A few words of background - I was always sort of frustrated how unbelievably dull the usual programming challenges are. I mean all those nearly p…

I've had a completely different approach to learning vim, which I wholeheartedly recommend: - learn the bare minimum: up, down, left, right, deleting words and lines, stuff you do …

You said it yourself - the lack of direct equivalents is nothing special. What is amusing however, is how in some languages you'll find a lot of "untranslatables" grouped around a …
