I agree with the part that says Agile (and Scrum in particular) is drinking the koolaid. Managers who don't themselves write any code, but micromanage their workers with their vers…

Agreed 100%

I would not write it at all. Instead, I would write only the test cases, thereby documenting the requirements. I would then evolve the software using modern machine learning techni…

This seems like a narrowly thought out proposal. Contrary to what Wikimedia may think and see today, Wikipedia is not the future. The future is something closer to robotopedia or m…

As an American, I'm frankly sick of the US inaction on climate change. It makes me hate being an American. It almost makes me want to live somewhere saner from a climate pov. (Disc…

Is there a single programming language for which static analyzers are a part of the language rather than external tools?

This is an idiotic article because a static analyzer like mypy will find this in a hurry: > error: Invalid type: try using Literal[42] instead? If you don't use the analyzer, the p…

Have you actually found cold-start delays to be an issue with serverless services, or are you just speculating? To my knowledge, the cloud provider keeps enough instances hot based…

I recommend against using Zeit. I tried their offering this year and it was too much in beta. I honestly couldn't even get a basic service deployed because my defined dependencies …

Granted it's an opinion, but if you've been through as much scrum as I have, especially if you're a senior developer, you'd know it's a true article.

It's an extremely serious article. If you think it's good for a laugh, the joke's on you.

Hopefully you won't subject your workers to scrum; it is evil. Refer to https://michaelochurch.wordpress.com/2015/06/06/why-agile-an...

I'd say managers and crappy team leads are the problem. They're often asking the developer to deliver code that is not quite ready or adequately tested. I admit though that the abs…

"See no evil"!

How about people stop using unsafe languages such as C and C++?

mypy is a joke of a tool. I have actually used it, and 80% of its messages are useless junk or just plain wrong. Granted, the other 20% can be on point. All things considered, it's…

Good find. Also see https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.05968

Thanks, but using "WTF" in a title is unprofessional. If you wouldn't include it in the title of a research publication, you probably shouldn't include it in a TDS article either. …

Please be careful to not take on too much. It's not the job of this service to compile and test code.
